Whats up guys, Im owner of a Ryzen 5 1600 system, using Patriot Viper 4 8gb(2x4GB kit) 3200MHz, inside of a SilentiumPC Aquarius X70T Pure Black Case (should have 175mm height cpu cooler potential). Im currently going to buy a CPU Air cooler around 80-90€. I have 3 choices RN: (Also I forgot to tell, my case has full tempered glass side panel so visuals matter)

1. Noctua NH-D15 SE AM4
- I like this one the most, it has everything except the aesthetics. (Altough I dont consider them being that bad and I can definitely imagine that brown thing sitting in my case)

2. Cryorig R1 Ultimate / Universal
- both of them are awesome looking, even though they are just a little weaker on the performance side compared to noctua. I dont know if the Universal´s better ram clearance would help me so Im stating both of them here.

3. be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 3
- I like this one the least of these coolers, but still, it looks very good and still is one of my choices.

Alright, so the thing is, I have two problems connected together. RAM Clearance and Case Width. In case that my RAMs are too high for noctua, I know I can raise the front fan. Dunno if this can be done with the two others. What I also dont know is if I would be able to fit that raised fan in my case.
Thanks for reading through and I will thankfully accept all suggestions etc. :)
 
Solution
I would recommend getting the NH-D15 solid cooler i got one myself, i haven't used the Low-Noise Adapters but their there if you want silence. If i'm not mistaken the Cryorig R1 Ultimate / Universal has the least cooling performance of the 3 and is possibly the loudest. If your worried about the color you should be able to grab a black Noctua fan and attach the mount to that.

True, that one looks pretty awesome, and I have some RGB in my case so that seems fine too. But there is not one vendor selling that thing in my country, sadly. Also, When Zen2 comes, I will be getting a much more than just 65W tdp cpu, so cooler of this power wont be wasted.
