i recently bought a sabertooth z97 and an i7 4790k, i was told not to use the stock cooler. this one looks good and budget friendly, wil it fit?

Yes, it should fit, I have read that the 1150 and 1155 share the same mounting holes.

Current Build:Case: Nanoxia Deep Silence 5Motherboard: AS Rock x99 Extreme6 2011-v3RAM: 32gb G.Skill DDR4 Ripjaws4CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14This setup works well together. Height clearance is not an issue with this set-up. Ensure your RAM modules are placed on the farthest connections from the CPU for slightly better CPU cooling. Research your case carefully, few cases will accommodate the height of this cooling unit. Noctua maintains a compatibility list. This CPU cooler does have known space issues with some video cards.

Stock cooler is fine. It's noisy, though. It may also depend on your case set up - you might have less air flow in your case and/or maybe running Crossfire or SLI with 2 hot GPUs. I have since bought a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, which is awesome. I have a Coolermaster HAF Tower, so I have good air flow in my case naturally. In any case, I doubt you'll have over-heating issues with the stock fan and heatsink without overclocking it.

I built two using a v3 and v4 Thermaltake Case. The closeness of the motherboard to the upper rear fan allows only for one forward fan. The cooler you are asking about requires plenty of clearance for both fans, so these being mid cases likely will not accept the cooler. Check out the Corsair 900d series gaming full tower or other full gaming towers.

I too had a large heatsink (Artic Cooler Pro) before switching to a low profile closed loop water cooler (Corsair H80I). Should fit no problem, but will be major dust magnet, the reason I switched.

Yeap, this cooler suite great to LGA1150.But you should be careful, it's huge, check that you have enough space in your PC.

When you say quieter, I would agree to that, but you need to consider the fan you use, you can use whichever fan you want, the stock cooler is junk, always get an aftermarket cooler unless you're using an i5 or i3 and never plan on pushing your CPU with anything, the 92mm cooler is one of the biggest coolers you're going to fit in this case and you can comfortably game with it if you have a solid gpu

No, this only fits Intel CPU's. Zalman product page: http://www.zalman.com/eng/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=161 On their website you can search for a cooler based on your CPU and look it up here on amazon. As for clearances, these are designed in a way that it shouldn't get in the way of anything on that board. Here are some similar CPU coolers by zalman that will fit FX (AM3/AM3+ socket) Copper: * CNPS 9500 A * CNPS 9700 * CNPS 9900 A Other: * CNPS 9900 DF * CNPS 12 X * CNPS 9900 MAX * CNPS 9900 NT

The i7-4790K processor is compatible with all Z97 motherboards. There isn't much difference between the 5 and 7 except the additional SATA ports.

Honestly with my thermal take case I kept the stock fan for my CPU because I have 3 200 mm fans, and 1 140 mm fan, it stays at a cool state and performs well with the i5 but if you have the i7 I would recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heat Pipes (RR-B10-212P-G1).

No it won't fit. I have used it on a Sabertooth 990fx board and I had to leave the side door off. I ended up upgrading to an azza genesis. All around better case and it fits most huge CPU coolers

I haven't OCed my rig yet and I don't plan to until I get a decent cooler. From what I've gathered, it doesn't look like the stock cooler can handle an overclocked CPU. So, I suggest you wait until you get your cooler. Plus, this CPU is plenty powerful out of the box.

I have an ASUS Z87PRO with Intel i7 processor and have affixed the Hyper 212 EVO on top as the CPU cooler with no problems. The Hyper 212 EVO can use one or two 120mm fans to cool it. Mine came with 1 fan that I placed to the right of the cooler (if you're looking at it) and it draws air in and pushes it towards the back fan. I bought 2 120mm fans for the front of the case that suck in air and then the Hyper 212 EVO pulls the air through and send it out the case via the rear 120mm fan. It is VERY tight in regards to my memory slots (I have Kingston Hyper RAM) but fits. The fins on the RAM add a bit of width to the memory sticks but it does fit. If you have normal memory with no fins you'll be fine. I guess it depends on your motherboard and the placement of the CPU and memory slots. I bet the engineers thought this out and it would be fine with almost every configuration. Do a quick Google search with you motherboard model and the use of the Hyper 212 EVO if you're a bit hesitant. Long story short: It worked for me. I've added a picture just in case (not the clearest image but note the memory to the right of the cooler and note the space between it and the rear fan if you're thinking of installing a second fan for pull-push).

I looked at lots of coolers and thought I would go with water cooled, but ended up getting a CoolerMaster 212 EVO HS/Fan combo and love it. Runs cool on a 4770K and it's silent.Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)

This is my favorite cooler simply because it works mall the time every time. This fan will be completely suitable for your Z97 motherboard. It is a fan that is extremely quiet and a high quality device.

Yes, this CPU cooler will fit your motherboard, it comes with sockets for both Intel and AMD, you just attach the appropriate mounting mechanism. This CPU cooler is fairly large, make sure that your chassis can handle the size of this CPU before you purchase. According to the official website: http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/v6gt.html Intel Socket: LGA 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775 AMD Socket: FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2 For your question, will it fit your socket set... Yes it will; 939, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1 and FM2 all have the same socket mounts... There is no difference in the mounting mechanisms...

Max temp on this processor is 62c, for a longer lasting lifespan you don't want it above 58c under full load, I thought you should know this so you can make a fair judgement. The stock heatsink is not going to OC and keep you in that temp range under full load. The coolermaster hyper 212 is an excellent low cost replacement, I personally use a zalman 9900max but its a bit pricey for air cooling. When you OC this chip it can pull up to and a bit over 300 watts on 12v. Save your components the stress and spend a bit for a hyper 212
