I don't think Noctua will bite, but Cryorig or Phanteks might.

 

Quick advisory to everyone out there: All of these are over 1kg / 2.2lbs with fans and require substantial clearance in all directions. On some boards these may even crowd your graphics card!

1. Overclock until the magic smoke comes out. 2. Modify until broken. 3. Fix and repeat.

Thanks for pointing this out, I probably should have myself.

 

ALSO if you have high profile RAM heatsinks or a narrow(er) case you could have clearance issues fitting in the tall towers of the heatsinks.

 

PS I can add other products to this poll if anyone cares to make a suggestion

The Cryorig universal should have 0 problems on socket 1150 with the thinner front fan.
