Hi all.
I was going to buy the NOCTUA NH-D14 after many, many searches.
I find the Corsair H80 really interesting too.
but before buying it, I was wondering if it is really the best cpu cooler to buy out. My ambiant temperature is ~24C and I'm looking for the most cool solution for my budget. I know that there a lot of questions like this out there, but this question is customized to my rig. And if the noctua answer comes again, is it dangerous to not fit in my setup?
Heres the picture of my motherboard.
I want to overclock the 3770K to 4.5GHz
I would pay 80-120$ dollars for a cooling solution
My case is a Antec Nine Hundred two (no space for the double fan-rad of H100)
I'm up to closed-loop water solution, too.
My motherboard is an Asus P8Z77-V LK with 4x4GB sticks of G.skills Sniper @ 2133mhz (4cm high sticks from mobo to top of sticks, just for info which I think is not that tall) But this is what scares me the most.
