The Noctua website is very useful for stuff like this also.

Can you not turn the cooler? I know with the D14 and my 1366 you can mount it two ways depending on how the tabs are attached.

And the mounting height of the fans is variable, as the first (great) pic here shows

If the D15 is anything like my D14, when put in a case with good airflow like my HAF 932, you can probably run it passive even with a bit of an overclock as I did with my D14 and when I had my i7 920.

check out the specs for the nhd-15 as well as the compatibility list with the motherboards.

but I'm afraid by looking at this page it will have some limitations.

The cooler is extending over the first PCI-E x16 slot, so please use the other available PCI-E slot(s) for your video card(s).
