ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 and NH-D14?

[CaptainCleanoff]

Hey guys, yet another NH-D14+mobo combo inquiry, sorry.

I was just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with these two, ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 and NH-D14?

From the pictures I've seen, it looks like it might be a bit of a tight squeeze around the CPU with the heat sink design for the MOSFETs....

Does the D14 fit, or should I look elsewhere for a cooling solution?

EDIT: I did search but didn't find anything.

Heres a review that includes the ASRock Extreme4 Gen3, and on test setup it says that they use the D14!

Found by a quick google, im gonna read through it and see if they say anything on fitting the cooler to the motherboard.. If they had issues

Ah cool, thanks mate.

Reading that it does look like they used the D14. Can't see anything about the D14 in there though apart from the Test Setup section though.

It would be interesting to see how it looks/how tight it is on the mobo.

Thanks again mate.

No problem, it's probably gonna be a close call but I think they would mention it in the review if they couldn't get the heatsink on

 

[CaptainCleanoff]

Yeah you are right. They would have mentioned it if didn't fit... (I hope)

Thanks for your help again. Looking forward to this upgrade!!

I should have the parts in a day or so, so I will give it a thumbs up (or down) if it fits or not for anyone interested.

Just an update for anyone interested.

The D14 fits perfectly, absolutely no issues whatsoever.

Loving this new rig, really suprised by how fast it is for so little money spent. 1155 may not be enthusiast, but it sure is fast, and a heck of a lot cheaper than my 1366.

Thanks again for the help RedgyK.
