The Noctua is one formidable cooler. One thing's for sure, it's BIG as hell!

2x for ETH, just saying.
I paid $55 for my D14, then sold it for $60 about 2.5yrs later.
Speaking from experience, it'll be ~$15 to ship.

I normally go with CoolerMaster V6GT but as they are not made anymore the NH-D14 is a good choice, both have 6 heatpipes for great cooling.

Nice board
It depends on the MB and the MB tray in the case, the pic below shows my AMD MB and 2 of the mounting holes for the cooler is blocked, so I have to remove the MB if I need to remove the cooler, Intel may be different.

Sorry never saw this post til now haha. Ya i have big opening in the back on my case. PLENTY of room.
Thanks i got the motherboard at frys, I really like how easy it is to OC on this board. Plus all the help on this forum!
Cooler will be here next week, i cant wait!!!! Ive already got my cpu at 4ghz on the stock cooler, runs very cool. Maybe thats because i have 4 120mm fans in my case LOL
Just did some more research, i have low profile ram so it will clear easily!!! Thank GOD!!

Got her installed
Stock cooler handled 4ghz, i ran a stress test before i installed the Noctua. Hottest it got was 79c. Installed the Noctua and the hottest it went was 55c!!! Idles around 33c.
It is a little louder and i may install the quiet adapters but im not sure. Clears everything nicely, even my ram.
