Would a Noctua NH-U12 S CPU cooler be compatable with this MoBo. None of the EVGA Mobos are on the compatiblity list for it the Noctua NH-U12 S.

I know for a fact NH-U12S will work. I made the mistake of ordering NH-U14S and it definitely doesn't fit in my chassis. You're also better off using low profile memory b/c the fans on the heatsink get in the way.

if it's the 1150 compatible than it should you might run into memory clearance issues I used the hyper 212 evo and it was close as far as the heat spreaders not touching , got about 1/8" to 1/4" clearance with the 212 with the 212 and a 4770k had it OC'd to 4.4ghz and it only got to 60*c running Prime95 for 12 hours

Hi! you can buy without any problems ihual thought I would problem and it was not, there is enough space to install my Noctua NH-U12 S first and then the 4 slot memory slot that is closer to my Noctua NH-U12 S is separated to 1 cm, should not be a concern I recommend this product, I used to use the hyper 212 and could not use the slot A1 for example, the problem with this term, I hope my answer serves to make a decision.

Depends on your memory height. The unit is made to fit an LGA-2011 motherboard socket, you may need to contact Noctua for your particular setup.

Here is a link to Noctua's motherboard compatibility list.http://noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_mb&lng;=en

No, this wont work, as this is for LGA 15XX, the processor you are asking about is a 2011 socket processor.This would work though: Noctua L-Type Premium Quiet CPU Cooler_ Retail Cooling NH-L9x65

Wish I knew for sure ! Email Corsair, I'm sure they will respond ! I really don't see why it wouldn't be compatible ! But then again next gen tech could pose a problem that may not be obvious on the surface ! Maybe Intel could answer as well,in fact probably a question better fielded by them ? Good luck

Check the Noctua website, they have compatibility info for their products there.

Clearly Kevin didn't search the noctua website haha. "LGA1150 Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK Yes" Right off noctuas website so yes it does fit. It depends which ram slots you are using. On my msi z97 using 2/4 (dual-channel) everything cleared. You can also remove the heatsink off the ram (like i did) as it does nothing anyways and ram doesn't get that hot. Plus the HUGE noctua fan is right by the ram it sucks up all the hot air around that area. It fits fine if your using slots 2/4 and probably fits using 1/3 as well. If i look down the noctua fan slot 1 is unobstructed but probably a tight fit. You can always remove the heatsink or even move up the fan if needed.

buy LP (Low-Profile: Meaning shorter) version of the ram and probably none. I have one of the biggest / best fan coolers (NH-D14) and with my low profile corsair vengeance ram the cooler hangs perfectly over the ram with no problems. But if you want an exact answer...you should probably go onto the MOBO's website and look at what ram works with what coolers? This is the internet, google can find you just about anything.

Yes you should be able to use noctua's nh-u14s heat sink. Just make and double check if your case can house it, because it's a massive heat sink. Some case don't support it. Here's a link to noctua's website for further assistance. http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products;_id=64&lng;=en

I don't know about that specific cooler, but a Noctua NH-D14 will fit. The Noctua is a massive CPU cooler. You might encounter a problem with the cooler fitting with the side panel fans installed.

Yes. I'm actually using a Hyper212 Evo in my setup. The top of the heatsink just barely clears the left side case door. There's enough clearance at the top of the case that you can install the optional top vent case fans even after both mobo and Hyper212 are installed. I would recommend installing the cooler after the mobo is installed and everything plugged in though, as the top stand off screws/fan sockets/power sockets will be kind of hard to reach if you install the cooler before indtalling the mobo in the case.

Greetings,The motherboard itself will fit with a 1U-compliant CPU cooler. However, the standard-height I/O shield, included with the motherboard, will not be compatible with this 1U enclosure.Best regards,MITXPC

Yes & if you not an Overclocker it is just fine with stock heatsink and fan. Might want to consider purchasing a mounting plate, (I hate those plastic plugs) the clips provided are the weakest link in cooling processors if you don't have a fairly tight seal you heat up quick.

Your cooler depends a lot on the case. I had a "Ice Warrior" cooler on mine when it was in a full ATX case and it barely fit. (Boy did it keep it cool though!) The CPU placement on the MOBO is high and close to the corner so I noticed it's compatibility was less than my other LGA 775 MOBOs. A Stock Intel cooler sits on it now. It's not the best, but it works. Any aftermarket case will be better than a stock Dell. Many can even be had with PSU's in them already for a minimal price. This form factor is the most versatile so anywhere from M-ATX to Full ATX will house this MOBO well. Your cooler depends a lot on the case.

Not sure--but I wouldn't use any MoBo that wasn't specifically listed on their site. It's not just big, the heat pipes themselves take up a lot of space that can run into things on your MoBo. That's the part I didn't take into account and it turned out that the heat pipes ran into my RAM. No way around it and had to return it.

Overclocking will be very limited without an aftermarket heatsink. The entire worth of this CPU in a gaming and workstation sense is in the overclocked version of it. Even using a low profile heatsink I was able to push it to 4.7GHz.Noctua Ultra Silent CPU Cooler Cooling NH-U9B SE2
