Also is this easy to install for heatsink noob? i've put in a video card and a bunch of fans and stuff but never messed around with a cpu heat-sink.

I THINK the coolermaster V3 black edition allows you to remove the other side of the case so you don't have to remove the motherboard can anybody confirm this?

heres a pic of the case i have.

Also with a gigabyte ga-z77-d3h and LP Vengenc ram will that heatsink fit?

That pic proves it will fit in the case but the motherboards may be different.

Thanx.
 
The HSF will fit, but I'm pretty sure you will have to take the motherboard out to get the bracket on the back of the motherboard. I guess it's possible you won't have to, but don't count on it.

LP RAM is good and it works for LGA 1155. The fans aren't the best on the evos, mine died and coolermaster wouldn't set up an RMA so I had to buy a new fan. It comes with the paste and is pretty easy to install. Just don't be afraid to tighten it down.
