Will this Fit?

[InfamousP]

Hi, I'm gonna keep it short:

Will a noctua nh-d14 fit on the asrock z77 exterme 4 in corsair Low Profile RAM inside a corsair carbide 500r? Also if anyone can tell me if it will come into contact with a Sapphire HD7870?

I realise this is really specific and can be relatively difficult to answer but I'm hoping someone out there will have a similar rig and can share their knowledge.

Any help would be appreciated

It all should, but I cant guarantee it. Only real issue I can see is with the RAM (others like the board and case are fine), but if Low Profile RAM will cause issues there's nothing you can really do.

Far as I know there isn't any way for a CPU heatsink to conflict with the GPU unless you were to mount it vertically instead of horizontally.

According to this review,
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2012/02/20/corsair-graphite-500r-review/1

The 500r's clearance for CPU coolers is 165mm.
If I remember correctly, the NH-D14 has a height of 160mm, so you have 5mm of headroom right there.

And +1 to everything manofchalk said.

Thanks! only reason I asked is because I heard someone wirting about how the cooler was a little close to his GPU and just wanted to be sure. I'll do more research on that RAM thing now though.
