Sure, some things can never be sold though, as they are technically perpetual loans

It might not fit with some RAM because the ram is too tall.. thats one reason why i held off getting it. Unless you have some low profile rams, chances are that the noctua DH-14 wont fit.

Yup there's a picture in my review showing that tall dimms won't work with this cooler. Tall dimms are pointless anyway imo

It should be designed to clear standard ram. Ie the ones that don't have those massive heatsinks. Don't think it's necessary to buy special low profile ram.

standard ram is fine. It's the stupid tall ones that won't work.

got it all in, ended up fitting quite well, at first i was more concerned with the fins on the actual MB than the ram, but ended up working out well 
what is a good sensor temp program? im currently using realtemp but i dont know which sensors these temps are for, it shows 4 of them, are they all just the cores?

I'd like to see that review. Was thinking of getting it and using just the lower 92mm fan. I'm just worried about the motherboard bracket as Asus uses a metal support behind the CPU.

If you want it to be so quiet you literally can't hear it, yes, especially if overclocking
And Bulldozer and i7 3xxx are super hot when overclocking btw.

It's definitely quieter lol.. at normal speeds, it's inaudible to the human ear. At full speed, your PSU fan will be louder for sure

I love Noctua's coolers. Whenever I'm building a computer, I always check to see if they're on sale or have shipping deals (NCIX) associated with them.
Was able to snag an NH-C12P last year for $39 (via PM) w/ free shipping for the entire order (which was about $30 over here)  | |

I'm glad some people appreciate noctua products, outside of their performance despite their colors they have a presence/beauty to them inside a case

I personally would have chosen the dh-14 as well but i was on a budget so i had to resort to the hyper 212 evo.
