Hello. I'm working on building my second pc and I ordered the z490 dark today. I was wanting to use the Noctua NH-D15 cpu cooler but I'm not sure if it'll work on this board with its 'unusual' (different may be a better word) DIMM slots location. I was looking at getting G. Skill Ripjaws V ram, I believe its height is 42mm. I read that the nh d15 has a 32mm ram clearance in dual fan mode but I couldn't find anything about what it is with the z490 dark.
Anyway, I'd appreciate some feedback and thanks for your time.

    I got so tired of buying low profile memory tobacco after my air cooled heat sinks that I built my last pc with water cooling. Never going back

    Update to ram, cpu and air cooler with photos are in https://forums.evga.com/NHD15-compatability-with-evga-z490-motherboard-m3072230.aspx
     
    cliff note: DeepCool Assassin III fit z490 Dark better then NH-D15, with G.Skill Trident Z 44mm high memory modules. But, only in fans facing upwards configuration.
