i7-3770K cooler

[Salamander 2]

I'm looking for suggestions for a cooler for a i7-3770K processor. I plan on some moderate overclocking. I like the reviews of the Noctua NH-D14, but I am concerned about it's size and the ability to switch out ram (after the Noctua is installed) if necessary. Suggestions?

"The tower itself stands 160mm off the top of the processor so that is one of the critical dimensions to check. The other main one is the clearance over the memory slots. If the fan is fitted you will find that this measurement is 89.5mm out from the centreline of the CPU socket."

"Any modules of 44mm height or less will fit without any problem."

This is of course to do with the Noctua

get the h80 or h100

they are great for the price/[erformance and will beat d14 easy and won't take up as much space
