Noctua D14

[Wipeout]

I wanted to get some opinions on this cooler.I have a (2) Hyper 212 EVO's,which is a big heatsink,but the D14 looks massive.

1.Thermal Paste- Application,easy,hard ,thoughts..

2.Does it block out slots on motherboard.I'm used to bigger coolers,so I can relate.

3.Noctua D14 vs Evo hyper 212 ?

4.Should I just skip all this crap and water cool

5.Thanks

1.As usual
2.Slots on the MoBo, not likely, RAM clearance is an other story
3.You should see a 5 to 10°C improvement.
4.Ooooo YES!
5.You're welcome
