Noctua

hey guys

im looking at noctua website to check if the cooler..."Noctua NH-D14 120mm$140mm" will fit my GIGABYTE GA-H61M-D2P-B3
but the site its not even mentions my mobo....whatu think guys it will fit? im planning using ripjaws x series 2x4g
now the Noctua NH-C14 140mm x 2 SSO CPU Cooler will fit shows the website....ill prefer the d14...so anybody tried it on a GA mobo?

also i use the armor mx + midsize pc case , and will the noctua nh-d14 fit in that case?
cpu its a i5 2500k....will the noctua be a overkill?..planning on OC

I think it's very inefficient, mobo chipset H61 is low end mobo LGA 1155. CPU cooler so it does not require a large and handsome, I think hyper 212 is perfectly adequate, for the i3 2100 enough with it ( hyper 212). except if you use the mobo P67/Z68 I guarantee you will surely use to overclock.

damn.... so mobo's week for oc ..i guess than just put the 212 hyper + on the i5 than sell it....i got that mobo cause it was a good price and its microatx...
can u give me a good mobo but matx? my build will be small box...i was looking at the new zotac boards one witch has the built in wireless net...and other1 with the gtx 460 build in...

The H67/H61 chipset is very weak for OC by design (cannot take advantage of unlocked multiplier CPU); if you really want to OC (I mean by more than 200-300Mhz) you need a P67 or Z68 motherboard.
