Will the Noctua D15 fit inside my case? (Aerocool GT-R black edition) I'm really having second thoughts on buying this cooler because of the height of the cooler including the fans. The rest of my build:

core i5 4690k
2 sticks of gskill ripjaws 16gb
msi z97a gaming 6 motherboard
msi r9 290x
seasonic 750w fully modular psu

Will I have enough clearance for my memory modules if I use 2 fans for the d15?

Please let me know your thoughts on this and if anyone has the same mobo or case and is using this cooler please let me know.

Much appreciated!

It should fit just fine though you may have to skip the side panel fan to give it enough room. Without the side fan it supports coolers up to 172mm tall, plenty of room for the nh-d15. A 25mm thick standard fan wouldn't fit between the cooler and case panel. The standard fan placement for the front fan (over the ram) only leaves 32mm of clearance and 40mm is needed for the ripjaws ram. You'll likely have to slide the front fan up higher on the cooler to make room but it will fit.
