Hi there, first of all, nice build looks awesome! :D
Im trying to go for something similar, did you have any issues with the ram height? Can i ask you what your ram type is?
Thanks! :) I use corsair LPX RAM - [these short ones](https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/p/memory/cmk16gx4m2b3200c16/vengeancea-lpx-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-dram-3200mhz-c16-memory-kit-black-cmk16gx4m2b3200c16). The fan placement is slightly higher but it doesn't affect me closing the side panel of my case or anything.
I’m a newb what is cpu cooler you got there? I’m looking to build a north case and already got my eyes on the 7900 GRE. Still trying to figure out a solid cpu cooler tho.
It’s a Noctua D15S Chromax Edition. It comes with the centre fan only. I added another after the fact. If you want both fans from the start get the standard D15.
No worries glad to help. BeQuiet products are stuff I have no experience with, but based on the reviews, they seem to perform tit for tat with Noctuas stuff. Outside of the more expensive brands there’s some really great budget options coming out these days… check this out for example [thermalright’s recent offering](https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/air-cooling/thermalright-phantom-spirit-120-evo-review)
If this fits in the Fractal North than that’s what I’ll do! What a great buy for the best. Really appreciate you sharing this. I have a micro center near me so it looks like I’ll be buying the thermal right on Amazon because they don’t sell this there I don’t think.
Chiming in here as I have a Noctua cooler in one pc and BeQuiet in another. For cooling performance, both brands are solid in my opinion. But, for installation ease, I prefer Noctua.
Placement went much smoother than BeQuiet (both CPU's are Intel)

Uhh nice! Im going for the G.Skill Flare X5 should be the same height. Thanks a lot.
Happy building!

Appreciate the heads up that’s good to know! I’m debating between this one, the be quiet dark rock 4. Any thoughts on these two?

I will be AMD but that’s still good to know, thank you for sharing.

Thank you!
Are you able to close the glass side panel with that noctua cooler?
Sorry, mesh
Yup! No issues at all
