Will the Noctua NH-D14 fit?

[Resonance]

Basically, I want to get a Noctua NH-D14 cpu cooler... for the silence. I won't be doing any overclocking on this rig because I failed hardcore trying to overclock on my stock cooler. Plus, I don't want to go with any of the H series corsair liquid coolers... because I want to avoid loud rads. My current stock cooler runs at 2100rpm at idle and adjusts itself at load, to about 2400rpm-2500rpm. I'm running on idle right now and it's making vibrating noises? Idk it's just annoying.

So, that was my reasoning, but back to the real question...

At first I bought vengeance ram without heats preaders... but I got an amazing deal on another 8gb corsair vengeance ram, so I took it. So I basically, in DIMMS 1,3 I have the ones without heat spreaders and in 2,4 I have the ones with the heatspreaders. Will the Noctua fit on my mobo?

I'm not exactly to sure about the placement of the DIMMS on different Mobos, but if that is a consideration, I have the ASUS M5A99X EVO.

Thanks.

H60 is not loud if you change the fan with a silent one i think if you dont plan to do any ocing is a good choise

i m planning to build a silent pc and H60 is my choise

Oh wow, did not know how cheap the H60 was... May replace the stock corsair fan for a noctua nf-p12 or something...

In a Switch 810 it should, as long as you put a low profile stick in the first slot. You'll have to mount the outer fan slightly raised, but there should be plenty of room to do that.

Best way to tell is check some pictures in the rig gallery. Should give you a fair clue.

Oh alright, I'll give that a look.

Tip: If your case is a white one the NZXT Havik would look very nice in it. It is also a good cpu cooler and with no ram issue

I was thinking to buy the Noctua, is the Havik quiet?

could try putting the tall vengance in dimms 3 and 4? the d-14 fits easy over my muskin blackline easy and it doesnt go to the 3rd slot

NH-D14 and change the fans to Scythe gentle typhoon's. I did it with mine, it dropped 4c off load temps for me and it looks a lot more aesthetically pleasing.
