Like the title suggest i need some more understanding with what to go for in Fractal Designs North (Mesh Version) Case. I'm planning on upgrading to a 5800x3d and i want to get a proper noctua air cooler for it. I'm just puzzled with the heights of the coolers and what fractal is stating for dimension of the North case on their website. Would be awesome to get some advice on it... would love to use the legendary d15.. warshead

Why a noctua cooler? They’re overpriced

#

well sounds good but, im still not entirely sure about dimensions with that north case

#

it looks really nice and i honestly really wanna get it

#

i just dont want to buy a cooler that ends up not fitting

#

being too high that is

#

they mention something with a fanbracket being maxed out 145mm and without one 170mm

#

it is a tad bit confusing to me
