Front to back cooling is the best eventually, i.e. when you have enough fans. if you have 3 or less than it's ineffective. i'm sure that removing rear grill will be great, but remember that most people won't do it because of: A) it's too much of a hassle for too little (the gains won't be more than like 4C) and B) it will remove warranty. (some people still use them rolleyes.gif )

And the Antec cases, well they aren't Switch 810 that immediately impress. but they don't disappoint like some other cases.

I just can't bring myself to cut a grill out of my brand new $250 case... So I have my cooler facing upwards for now at least. (big 230mm fan exhaust at the top.) I have the fans in a push/pull configuration with nothing pushing into the first half of the tower because it would be too restrictive right next to my video card.

I would feel bad if I cut a hole in the case... LOL, I guess I'm not much of a case modder.

Well I just chopped the grills out my 800D, it feels weird cutting on a $280 case.

I've had my NH-D14 for a few weeks now and it is quieter than my old CM 212+ with better performance, but when I try to go to super-silent mode (all of my rheobus sunbeam turned to 0 except for my intake Gentle Typhoon AP-15 fans are set to 40%), there is still an annoying whirring sound. I replaced the middle fan with a TY-140 and kept the B14 in front. I also stuck two of the LVA from the NH-D14 packaging onto both fans and they is still an annoying whirr (to me that is, most people probably wouldn't mind). My temps are around 30-32 without load. Is there's something I'm missing or are my expectations too high?

I want to buy this cooler but I think I'm going to have a big problem with clearance issue, because I have pretty high ram heatsinks (corsair vengeance). Does somebody have this cooler with the Asrock Z77 Extreme4?

I have the same motherboard and the same ram. My NH-D14 clears the ram just fine, with like half an inch to spare smile.gif

half an inch? Thats more than I thought. I'm going to buy this cooler or a corsair Hydro series, probably H100. Could you make a pic of it? Do you use your ram in dual channel

I've resold the RAM to a friend I was doing a build for a week or two back, so I can't take a picture of it atm, sorry frown.gif
The one I've got now is the Low Profile Corsair Vengeance ram, so it wouldn't really help you out a lot I'm affraid.
For what it's worth, though, I had 4 bars in there, so yes it was dual channel.

It just occurred to me, if you really want a picture I could probably ask my friend to take you one, he's using a NH-D14 as well smile.gif

I do want to know if it will fit before I buy it. But you had the corsair vengeance with the big heatsink? Did the cooler overlap the ram? Cause I looked for the size of the thing and it said it would go 62mm from the middle of the cooler towards the ram, but i measured it and it would probably touch the heatsink of the ram
