How large are the heat spreaders, will this fit under any large cpu heatsink? More specifically the nzxt havik 140?

I used the evo 212 and they wouldn't have fit under luckily it wasn't to wide and fit next to it. I have the saber tooth z77 board.

I did have an issue with the heat sinc hitting the row 3 of RAM although I blame it on the motherboard design being too compact. The same heat sinc and RAM worked on another motherboard.

I use the Cosair Vengeance Memory which are about the same size and they fit under the cooler but I have to remove the cooler to change out the stick closest to the heatsink.

I have a regular NZXT case and I was using the ARCTIC Hybrid with a Noctua CPU air cooler and I had not problem at all. There was enough room between the video card and the cooler. I also had room for a liquid CPU cooler if I wanted.

It can definitely be screwed into stock heatsink and case mounting. As to the question does iit include the two adapters you can attach via screws to "snap" it into place on some heatsinks? I can't completely remember, but I'm pretty sure it does. Double check if you don't have one laying around on an old heatsink you could swap in case. It's been a while since I unboxed it.

I can't say for sure but Dominator Platinum has very high heatsinks. This may be a problem with installing many air coolers. I probably would not go for it, suggest you use water cooler if your case can accommodate it.

Definitely. I have a Noctua U14 in mine and there is still a bit of head room. The only thing you are going to want to check is if your cooler will cover your memory slots.

No the stock heatsink already runs too hard. I bought the Corsair Air Series A50 but I had to modify that heatsink because my ram wasn't low profile in order for it to fit. Works great

I'm using a "Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 - Sleeve Bearing 200mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases" without any modifications to the case itself. Fits like a glove with the screw slots on the case. Hope this helps.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103073

I bought this but abandoned this approach and instead went with the 'radiator' type. I bought a double(fan)size radiator and single(fan)size radiator. The single simply screwed to back where a fan would go. The double didn't fit - but had a tower and just left the radiator 'loose' n the case - and its works fine. These devices only require a small footprint over the CPU and are quiet.

This really dependent on the motherboard and its Dimm slot location relative to the CPU. I have an Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard and the closest Dimm module touches the cooler but will work there. Better to get memory with standard heat sink risers.

it fit in my nzxt H630 case, and it is not listed as able to fit. the board fits on all of the ATX mounting posts, but is a bit longer , Approx 1/2 inch. so if you are using a large case like me it should fit.

Not an exact answer, but I'm running Kingston Hyper X Red which has Large aluminum Heat-sinks. No worries

Yes it will, i have the same setup. Awesome heatsink. depending on where the cpu socket is on your mobo, you may have to cut the inside of the case a little bit for the mount that goes on the bottom of your mobo to hold the heatsink in place. A dremel with a diamond wheel worked great for me and you'll never see the cut once the mobo is installed. Good luck!

Maybe 12inch 10? Its much like the h100 but slightly thicker surface area but will fit any case that can suposrt 240mm compared to the h100i or 110 pr the nother new series of corsair that recently came out, the temps are better and performs well in overclock, i got a fx8350 overclocked at 4.9ghz temps is at 29-35 degrees full load 45-55 ive had it quite some time now, and works really cool really awesome!

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 got this one because the fins on the heatsink push the heat out of the case vs the gigabyte which blow the heat onto your motherboard and into the case. Not a big deal if you're cooling your CPU with outside air but I have watercooling that blows case air across my radiator and then out so I didn't want to heat up my case unnecessarily.

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.
