Asked By TechWizard99 On

Hey everyone! I'm planning to rebuild my PC and I'm unsure if my Noctua NH-D15 cooler will be compatible with the new motherboards I'm considering: the MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI or the ASUS TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI. Currently, I have an Asus Z170-A, and it works fine with both my cooler and GPU (the GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER MASTER 16G). I've checked the compatibility information on the Noctua website but still have some lingering doubts. Has anyone else faced this issue or have any insights? Thanks!

I don't see any reason why the NH-D15 wouldn't work with those boards. It's pretty compatible overall. Just be mindful of your case size; if it's too tight, the NH-D15 might cause clearance issues with RAM if the fans are positioned too close. Also, you might want to check out PCPartPicker for build guidance.

Thanks for the heads up! I just haven't used PCPartPicker much, but it sounds like a great tool to check for compatibility!
