The NH-D14 actually performs better than the Cooler Master V8 GTS: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/cooler_master_v8_gts_review/7
It also costs less, but it doesn't look as fancy as the V8. So the cooler is not bad, but you can get more efficient (although not so good looking) ones for less money.

Thanks for your reply!
Lol, I know it sounds silly but I don't think cream and brown would match my black and red theme. I'm only just building my rig to future proof it (my last PC lasted ten years, the 774 socket is finally too ssssllloooowww, lol). So at the moment I plan on running the CPU stock but in the future for over clocking it i may need a new cooler.
But with an Asus Hero mobo and red Vengeance Pro memory, I think Noctua would clash.
At the moment I am looking at the V8 GTS as a replacement to the stock 4770K fan at install.

In Australia, the coolers are only $10 apart! (Essentially on par price wise).
Lol, from what I hear, anything is better than the stock 4770 cooler!
Some say the stock cooler is fine, but I live where in summer the room is 34c/98F, so I assume the stock cooler would struggle. That's why I am considering the after market coolers for normal operation until a few years time when I will overclock for extra pepper!

Are the fans connected to the CPU fan headers() on the motherboard? Try using some of your case fans with the CPU fan header(s) and see if they work. You can also try going to BIOS and manually setting the fan speed higher.

How well does it work? did you OC? I would like to buy same cooler and I'd like to know what's you experience with it.
So far I haven't pushed the system with a big game yet, and I am running the CPU at stock with the RAM bumped to 2400. When my room is 28C, at idle the CPU is 32C. After playing From Dust, it peaks at 43C. So although I haven't OC'd it seems fine for now. Oh, but I love how quiet my whole case is, so its a nice quiet fan too. (My old computer running next to it sounds like a indy car!)
I will say though, it is one MASSIVE cooler! I bought it for looks (but my LED strip lights overtake the lights on the cooler) because I have a window in my case, but if I didn't I would have run the stock cooler until I decided to OC the CPU. Make sure you have the room to fit the cooler in: and keep the case clutter free! I won't be doing that for a while, until I start to see performance drops. Then I'll OC, and add another GTX780OCII.
But I haven't installed Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell, Batman or Thief on my system yet, so maybe it will be sooner rather than later, lol.
I tooks some photos so you can see my setup but I can't work out how to attach them! The attach and picture buttons just gives me blank line url prompt thing! The photos are on my hard drive, not at a url!
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I agree, this cooler is superb as far as looks go but I am OC-ing and I looked for lot of results from different coolers and although h100i seems to be more noisy then V8 GTS, it keeps system much more cool so I think I will stick with that.
