Exclamation Anyone knows if noctua NH-D14 would fit in storm sniper case?



I built a PC about 5 months ago. But I haven't tried replacing the stock cpu fan yet.

I just would like to know if anyone tried if the Noctua NH-D14 cpu fan would fit my CM storm sniper case?



Noctua NH-D14: Newegg.com - Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler



CM Storm Sniper: Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Steel, ABS Plastic, Mesh bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case



MY RIG: Sandy Bridge Gaming PC 24/7




thnx in advance. please only post if you're sure

That CPU cooler is 6.3 inches tall and the depth of your case is 10". So, allowing 1" to the base of the CPU from the back of the case, you have about an 2.5" to spare if no fans on the side cover.

im thinking of hyper 212+

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler Compatible Intel Core i5 & Intel Core i7

or

hyper 212 evo

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R1 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+

would this keep my pc cool 24/7? which one is better? my pc is running 24/7. and im getting 150F temperature on my stock fan now, so i need to turn it off. im in usa, so the temperature is cold, but the heater is on. please reply. thnx a lot!

I like Artic Cooling CPU heatsinks and this one is about an 1.5" shorter than the ones you have linked: Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler

the problem with my rig is, when i run many windows at the same time, temperature gets very high like 120-140 F. im already using a small electric fan and focus it on the side screen of the case.

i already ordered the hyper 212 evo

i saw the reviews are good. thnx for the help. i hope it wont have any problems
