Z790 Tomahawk max wifi motherboard with Noctua DH15 cooler and Corsair Vengeance RAM - is there room to fit?

[mike_hill_i158b02e4]

Hi all,
I am just migrating to a new MSI board and would like to use my previous cooler - Noctua DH15. The ram is corsair vengeance RGB ddr5 ram with i9 14900k chip
Can anyone advise if this will fit as I recall clearance to ram was tight on my old board -Z170A Gaming M7

It depends on your exact RAM model's overall height, and also on your case. If the left case door has enough clearance to the cooler, you can just mount the fan a bit higher. Alternatively, you can change it to a 120mm fan instead of a 140mm one, which is what i have done (because i had a spare fan available for it), see here. And here's that cooler on my newer board,

With that it should definitely fit. But if your case is wide enough, even with tall modules and the 140mm fan.
