June 24, 201114 yr what is the best cpu fan for overclockingOnly been using for a while but am very impressed: NOCTUA. NH-D14 but it does have its restrictions as far as ram clearance and case size is cocerned.Regards, Rick Hobbs

June 24, 201114 yr I have this fan and found the installation was very simple. You do need to do your homework regarding the ram and to a lesser extent the case. Also check your MB ram slots because you may be able to skip slot #1 making the fan clearance almost a non issue.Mark. Mark CYYZ

If the ram is under the sink itself then of course this won't apply. Rick Hobbs
June 24, 201114 yr Was going to go the Noctua route with my new 2600k but got the Corsair H70 instead. Very happy with it so far. Glenn Ryzen 3700X, X570 Pro Wifi, 32GB 3600mhz RAM, Nvidia Titan Xp "Galactic Empire", RM750x PSU, H700 case, 2x NVMe M2 SSD, 1x SATA SSD
