OK so I am about to lash out on a 3770K rig but need a cooler to do basic air overclocking. Not interesting in water cooling, just want something better than the stock cooler and fan that'll give me a decent speed bump.
Mobo will most probably be the Gigabyte UDH3 with GSkill Trident RAM. All inside a Silverstone Fortress FT02B. -------------------- "Actually not a bad start by my standards but still had Plods along side me going into the first corner.

Thanks. Ive been researching the Noctua, its coming up pretty good. Compatible with all my crap too, only issue is the ram, had to change to the z series instead of the trident.
Looks like that will be the go unless someone has a better idea? -------------------- "Actually not a bad start by my standards but still had Plods along side me going into the first corner.

cant beat the d14 i reckon for the price.
just be careful with that ram as its heatsinks may require you to raise the fan on the d14 intake side a little. since you only have 5mm to spare with the case depth perhaps some low profile RAM like ARES may be a better option for piece of mind. -------------------- Q9550 @4.25 w/cooled || Gigabyte P45 UD3-P || 8 gb DDRII ||GTX 480 w/cooled || Lots of HD's, Patriot Inferno SSD || LG W2242T ||
