You were considering a budget 16GB setup with 1600MHz RAM and the HyperX Fury was the most affordable option in Finland. After thinking about airflow, you discovered that the Noctua NH-D15 cooler could interfere with the RAM height. Your research revealed a surprising detail: the NH-D15 supports up to 32mm of RAM height, while the HyperX Fury is 32.8mm tall—making it slightly too high. Since the board is almost an extra millimeter taller than the cooler allows, it seems unlikely to fit. Before settling on new RAM, you wanted confirmation from others who could verify whether the HyperX Fury would actually fit with the Noctua NH-D15 on an MSI Z97 gaming board. The consensus was clear: yes, it should fit if you adjust the cooler fans slightly higher to create space.
