Hey guys, so I just recently ordered a NH-D15 cooler. I have a H440 case. So my ram is a bit tall and I ordered this cooler after everyone told me that there were cutouts that would allow it to fit.
After looking at a few more pictures, I ralized the fan is going to have to be moved up a bit to allow clearance for my RAM. I have two sticks of KHX16C9T3K2 which has a full height of 46.41mm from top to bottom. The D15 had 32mm clearance for the second fan. So adding the difference to the D15 height(165). I end up with 179.41mm while the case has 180mm clearance. So the numbers work but .6mm is extremely small. Should I cancel my order or can this still fit?
Thanks.
Edit: If I should cancel this order, what other options do I have for a quiet cooler with great performance? The tall ram is limiting me quite a bit. I'm going to be overclocking but not a huge amount however silence is key for me which is why I went for the Noctua. Thanks again
