It seems to be correct. When I looked at the Noctua compatibility checker, it indicated that the NH-D15 chromax.black wouldn't work with the NZXT H9 Flow case. If that's accurate, I'll definitely revert my choice back to the NZXT H9 Flow. Thanks for the details!
What details are being asked? The question is about the meaning of the pronoun "it" in the sentence.
Thank you for the details. I chose 64 gigs instead of 32 because I need to handle intensive RAM tasks in the background, which could require 5 to 20 gigabytes depending on task scaling. I also want to keep my PC available for other activities while background processes run, so I’m going with 64 gigs to allow more flexibility. While I might reduce it to 48 gigs later, it should still cover my background work. For your other advice, I’ll probably replace some of the parts you mentioned, though I’d prefer to stick with NVIDA since my monitor supports G-Sync. Thanks again!
Sorry, I was being vague. I mentioned the Noctua compatibility checker for this cooler, but I didn't realize the NZXT H9 Flow case only supports up to 165mm.
I would expect the checker to be correct.
Do you have any grounds to doubt that?
I believe the cooler is around 165 tall.
I’m uncertain whether Noctua actually tries to fit all coolers in every available case, or if they depend on the details given by case makers.
I’d feel uneasy about cutting it so close (165 cooler versus 165 case spec sheet), even if the Noctua list claimed compatibility with the D15.
I don't have a solid reason to doubt it, but I must have gotten mixed up when I noticed the NZXT H9 Flow case can be supported up to 165mm while the compatibility checker says otherwise. Thanks for your assistance, though—I was being unclear and missed some details.
My opinion, the bigger the case the better. You don't have to worry about parts fitting, there is more room to get your hands in there while building it and more space means more room for fresh, cool air. I am using the Corsair 780T which is huge. Don't plan on ever using a smaller case for my gaming rig.
Observing your interest in RGB, here’s a setup that creates a vibrant display. This model was introduced roughly a year ago and was highlighted as 'case of the year' by several tech publications. It’s straightforward to assemble and offers great airflow. Swap the 140mm rear exhaust fan from the original case with the one below. A trio of 120mm fans fits inside the top section where an AIO would typically be placed. The design features a low-profile RAM, ensuring it doesn’t block the dual-tower CPU cooler.
