my motherboard is Gigabyte B85M-D3H

Fan speed isn't the most important thing. The NH-D14 has like 8 heat pipes and 2 cooling fin towers. It's one of the best coolers on the market (all of Noctua's stuff is great. I have the NH-U12, and AMD FX-6300, my ide CPU temp is 19 degrees celcius).

Becasue you have the Corsiar Vengeance RAM, the 212 EVO will block one of your RAM slots. I'm pretty sure the Noctua NH-D14 can clear the Vengenace RAM, but if you aren't really concerned with how your RAM looks, you can get replacement heatsinks for your RAM. Smaller heatsinks will allow you to fit more coolers. (http://www.xoxide.com/akust-ramsinkpavise.html)

what about water coolers???
as Noctua NH-D14 is out of my budget and i dont want to change my heatsinks :)
btw will Noctua NH-D14 provide good performance? as it has low fan speed
it has half d RPM as dat of EVO 212
