will the NH-D14 fit in the case? (NZXT M59)

are you even reading what's being posted?

yes i am, look, i am getting so many mixed opinions that i am getting stressed out, really frustrated right know!!all i want is a damm computeron forums 1 guy looked at the dimensions and said to another guy that yes it will fit, some other guys came along and said if the case has a side panel than no it wont fit

Just curious why you keep shooting down the H60, H80, H100... They are completely self contained units, you don't even know they are liquid essentially but they are dead quiet and cool my I5 @ 5.0 without any issues at all.I was pretty darn impressed when my primary liquid cooling needed a new part and I got the H80 to hold me over while I waited for parts and ended up just keeping the H80... What is the reasoning behind not going with a simple self contained quiet and efficient liquid unit?

how well will it cool an i7 2600k

It will cool it just fine.The Noctua isn't a "budget" cooler guys. It's $85.So how much are you willing to spend on a cooler? And go with the i5 2500k, the i7 is useless it FSX. It would only be useful if you play other more modern games (Crysis 2, Battlefield 3, etc), or need the extra hyper threading.Link for Corsair stuff if you're interested and want to spend the money: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=100006648&isNodeId=1&Description=corsair+coolers&x=0&y=0

ummmm, but why are there a lot of people running the ngx with an i7?i am just so frustrated with the whole thing, i dont know what mobo to get, what ram, what cpu, what cooler! Ahhhh

plus, when you say modern games, well flight is coming out soonforget this, what mobo is good, Asrock P67 PRO3 SE??? Good?

Hyperthreading will do nothing for FSX.

Hyperthreading technology has been out at least 7 years. I bought a Pentium 4 that had it back then. Now I have an i7 2600K, and I am still trying to find what hyperthreading it is useful for, if anything.As for the topic of this thread, isn't the Cooler Master 212 Evo at around $35 unquestionably the best performing budget cooler available, bar none? See Hardware Secret's review on it. Actually, the results they report on it are so impressive, I find it hard to believe their testing method is accurate. In which case, if you pick up the 212 Plus on amazon for the current pricing of $21 with super saver shipping, you would probably be getting the best price/performance ratio.

Why are you asking the question that way? Which I meant to address in reference to your thread title, anyway. As far as I know, coolers will perform similarly on all CPUs, and I've never heard of anything different.

Kick your mate in the nuts and ask him again until he changes his mind or your brain is appease, whatever happens first

Lol, Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays and Happy New-year, Dario et al.

All the best Gary :)Merry Xmas everyone

I'm not running at 5.0 because of the 212+, but I am runnng at 5.0 with it.
