I know you already bought, but for other threadgoers I've been looking at one of these for my R7-2700 half for its performance and half for the name alone https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thermalright-Grand-Macho-Processor-Cooler/dp/B01BCLXO7Q/ - it's even a hair quieter than the NH-D15. The aesthetics may fit your taste better too - black and white instead of beige and brown, and it will not cover your (RGB?) RAM should you have any.
(Heck, it's rated for a 95 W TDP without the fan. Great for a stock 2700 ...)
Just as an update - The Le Grand Macho RT is in stock on Amazon right now, sold by Nan's Gaming Gear.

It's named differently, but mine came in the Le Grand Macho RT packaging. The TY-147B is the same as the one paired with the RT and the heatsink is identical.
Also, this thing is HUGE and is a BEAST. Fans at full speed is quieter than my HDDs, and I don't think I've seen my temps go over 50C yet. Time to ramp up my OCs again
I have the 1700x @3.8 with this cooler

And it hits almost 90 degrees in stress tests
Thermalright Le Grande Macho RT. Best air cooler you can buy, better than many AIOs:

Yes the SSD, and the cooler.
Better cooler, less ugly for a few bucks cheaper.
SSD. That is an ancient model of SSD. You can get a 1 TB SSD for near that price. This one is cheaper and newer.
Went from a 6700k @ 4.6 to the 9700k @ 5.0 all core, My sample isn't quite as good as others and needs right around 1.312V to get 5.0 all core from the stock 4.6. Games feel a smoother than than 6700k but I have no objective data to backup that claim. I carried my DDR4 3000 over from skylake and use a 1080 ti as well.
I'm using a Le Grand Macho RT air cooler and temps when gaming are very reasonable, 40-60s depending on the load. Stress tests (XTU, Prime95 Blend, Cinebench, etc.) can vary from high 70s to high 90s depending on which test it is, though I do run my fans at lower RPMs for less noise, this is at 1.312V. This is with the z370 taichi from asrock in a Fractal Design Define S with 2x 140 Noctua in the front and a stock 140 case fan in the rear, RPMs usually around 700-800 depending on temps.
A big RAD or custom loop will problem get you better temps but I have zero desire to mess with water cooling at all. Honestly I might still to try and pickup a 9900k and leave it at or neat stock and rock it for the foreseeable future.

Literally the name of the cooler, have it on my 8700k and it's been great.
You were concerned about the size of the d15. The macho is shorter and the fan doesn't overhang ram slots which is one less headache

The Le Grand Macho RT cools identically to the NH-D15, but at a lower volume. I personally went with the Macho X2 (a macho RT with 2 fans) because it should slightly outperform both the NH-D15 and Dark Rock Pro 4
The Toshiba P300s are much higher quality HDDs with better reviews. I'd aim for those instead. I usually wait for them to go on sale. But hey, Western Digital is always a safe choice.
The Noctua NH-D15 is one of the best coolers on the market, I'd personally get it, but I understand that many favor aesthetics over pure performance. There's also the V8 GTS, the Le Grande Macho (funny name, strong cooler), the MasterAir Maker 8, the Scythe FUMA packs a bang for the buck (you could switch out the fans for LED fans), or maybe you'd like to try an AIO cooler?
If you want to see if that $70 Cooler Master CPU Cooler is worth pairing with the i7 8700K, how about filtering the reviews and seeing what you get?
Hi.
Still choosing components for my new build.
I want to use the i7 7820x CPU.
Someone told me to forget Noctua heatsinks / fans because they wouldn't be enough to cool the CPU down, and to choose something as the Thermalright Grand Macho RT (https://www.amazon.com/Grand-Macho-fan-TY-147B/dp/B01BCLXO7Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527616078&sr=8-1&keywords=thermalright+le+grand+macho+rt)
Didn't know that brand and Noctua documentation states some models would be able to deal with that CPU...
Any idea about the quality of the Thermalright heatsink ? Any idea about a Noctua model I could use ?
I was thinking about avoiding liquid cooling anyway...
Thanks for your help.
Thermalright Le Grande Macho RT. It's quieter, slightly smaller footprint, and cools better than the popular Noctua NH-D15 and Dark Rock Pro 4 you will likely get many recommendations for.
Runs 79.99 on Amazon:

Review of Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT beating Noctua's best in multiple areas:
https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7986/thermalright-le-grand-macho-rt-cpu-cooler-review/index6.html
Another option that will work excellent though not quite as good if you don't want to spend as much is the Scythe Fuma 2: ($59.99) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RFNG89S/
Review of the Fuma 2 in same league as Noctua's best while being quieter and cheaper:
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/scythe-fuma-2-dual-tower-cpu-cooler/6.html
I would recommend one of thermalrights offerings. Unfortunately the True Spirit 140 power wont fit in your case, but the Le Grand Macho will and it is a beast of a cooler.

I wanted to buy a Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT, but just today Amazon appears to have stopped selling them: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BCLXO7Q (used to be $79.99 with Prime shipping).
Would this be a good alternative? I was looking at the Grand Macho for its awesome performance, very low noise, and RGB RAM compatibility.
FYI, I'm seeing the Grand Macho RT on sale at Amazon for $79.99 right now
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BCLXO7Q/
I think that's the same price I got mine at in October so it might be a regular sale.
That one's almost identical in performance...
Try this one? https://www.amazon.com/Grand-Macho-fan-TY-147B/dp/B01BCLXO7Q/

Is this the one you’re talking about?
Yeah that mobo should be no issue at all and give you wifi as well. Good call. You'll have to switch from a m.2 SSD to a 2.5" SSD but that won't be a problem.
edit: if you have 10 extra bucks to spare, you can get the version of the Le Grand Macho with a fan: https://www.amazon.com/Grand-Macho-fan-TY-147B/dp/B01BCLXO7Q - that way if you upgrade to a more powerful processor in the future, you can just the fan onto the CPU cooler. In fact, you can install the fan anyways and just set it to minimum RPM - I have an open air case with this cooler and it's pretty much inaudible until you get past 60-70% of its RPM range.
You can also pick up extra case fans to run at minimum RPM - Noctua and Be Quiet! make excellent silent case fans. You may need a PWM splitter or controller to accommodate more fans, depending on how many PWM fan headers your motherboard has. The goal to ensure silence is to have every fan running at minimum RPM and never needing to ramp up even under load.
