an extra 140 ram side would stand up loads above the cooler, the other side would be ok depending on your mosfet heatsinks. But honestly dude, just buy the cooler and use it first, it doesnt need extra money spending on it

i know its the bomb don't get me wrong but haven't you ever though about putting another fan on to see if it makes a difference
(joke)
You need to check some of my videos. its a been there and done that thing. Doesnt make masses of difference
If you use a Noctua 140mm fan, than you can fit it into the bracket where the 120mm was although some other companys like cythe and thermalright also have 140mm fans that can fit in 120mm brackets, however doing that will probably result in some major clearance issues with your RAM, so I wouldn't try it.
And yes with another bracket you can add on a third fan. In fact the third fan would end up right up against your rear exhaust fan.
EDIT: The third fan will only drop the temps by 2-3*C tops.

LOL no dude. /chuckles
Sometimes you get away with it if your baord is spaced different but the easy answer is no mate.
so can u suggest me a gud 6gb 1600mhz ram to go with along with the ud3r v2,i7 950 and the d14(should overclock very well n have low timings stock.preferably gskill/mushkin)

My Corsair Vengeance 8GB kit fits under my d14 fine, i just had to move up the front fan a bit, but it fits.

No they dont coolgame, any ram with heatsinks that raise about 5mm or more from the pcb would be a close shave to fit without moving the fan up a bunch.
Here's a list of compatable/incompatable ram, http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_ram_gen&products_id=34&lng=en
Here are 2 nice kits that will fit under perfectly fine.
Mushkin blackline 1600mhz 6-9-7-24 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226183
Mushkin blackline 1600mhz 7-7-7-20 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226130

I've joined the cult of Noctua. Can't wait to see what this thing can do on my new rig tomorrow.
The cooler has not been mounted the wrong way. It's the fins of the cooler that block the higher ram but you can be move the fan out of the way if necessary. The cooler comes with attachments to use the fan as a case fan.

Out of curiosity I watched this review again today after watching some other reviews by TTL and I must say the difference in performance is staggering. How far have TTL's vids come? ha ha
Better audio, lighting, delivery! As a former performer myself i.e. musician I totally get that confidence comes over time and i'm not sure how good I would be talking to myself in front of a camera, Long may it continue.
ps
Just wanted to point out how much better the vids have got though really, I still don't own a Noctua fan never mind the NHD-14.

As Ive just replied to you on YouTube it depends what heat spreaders..... Theyre all different heights. Theres more than enough info in the review for you to be able to work it out yourself!
