hey guys im after building my first build and it has an i7 930 in it and im looking at eventually overclocking it could ye recommend me a good affordable (and hopefully easy enough to install) cpu cooler motherboard is a gigabyte UD3R if that helps

H50 or NH-D14.

thanks the NH looks nice

If my V8 is anything to go by, the D14 is massive!

The H50 I think performs slightly better or worse, can't remember, either way it's cheaper (last I checked).

well i have a haf 922 and its massive so i should be able to fit it (my ocz ram is also fairly small) tbh im happy i didnt go with the 932 as i wouldnt be able to fit it anyplace

I have the same motherboard and got myself a Noctua NH-U12P SE2 cooler and had no problem with installation and it performs great too.

the superior D14 is about €10 more on Amazon.

The D14 is a better cooler but it's huge and I'm not certain if it will fit inside his case.

He has a 922, my V8 has plenty of space

Your V8 is an obese midi-tower cooler; by comparison the D14 is a maxi-tower cooler that makes your V8 look like Baby's First Heatsink :pac:

im a true believe,r of if ya want to know if something will work with your build just google NH-D14 haf 922 , then you will see other people,s builds .then you will see if you have to cut the case or not .im still a noob and i always think with these guy,s that are mega builder,s i alway,s will be lol but serious,ly google is your friend hope this does,nt sound bad but i,m pist wrighting it and it,s worked 4 me in the past and i,v built a couple of nice pc,s now to know

google is probably the greatest site ever created

ive learned so much from it (probably more than i ever learned in school), anyway from what ive read it will fit in, also seen a few videos of it in the case anyway isnt the 922 meant to be actually wider than the 932? if so it would definitely fit it

good cooler for a i7 930?
