So the r5 supports up to 180mm cpu coolers and the noctua is 165.
ram clearance for the noctua is 32mm in dual fan mode and the Ripjaws X is 40mm so if I were to raise the fan above the ram by 8mm so the ram would fit then the height of the noctua would be 165mm+8mm= 173mm and the define r5 supports up to 180mm so would I be fine in dual fan mode
Does This Math Make Any Sense At All And Would I Have Any Issues With Clearance/Closing The Side Panel With Dual Fans Or Would I Be Good.
I Made A Thread About This Earlier But I Haven't Gotten A Response In A While So I Decided To Start A New One. I Just Need A Clear Yes Or No Answer

Thanks
 
Solution
Tall heat spreaders can be a problem. Better to just use low profile heat spreaders. They are mostly for looks anyways. If you already bought the Ripjaws then adjust the cooler fan to fit.
