I'm pretty sure the NH-D14 is on sale right now, but I'm not sure if it is for Australia.

 

I thought it was the NH-D15 that had more ram clearence... Didn't they build it especially for that?

It's the NH-D15 that gives the RAM clearance. They built it for that and a little better in terms of cooling and noise. So long story short, yes it was made just for those who have tall heat spreaders but would like a beefy air cooler.

Cooler: Raijintek Themis (if available where you are, it is cheaper and better than the CM 212 Evo)

Paste: Noctua NT-H1

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I got with my I7-3770k a Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme... it comes with a fan controller and it's great... under normal usage my rig had 40deg C max and now clocked at 4.3- qfter he Gigabyte utility, task manager shows 5.20 Ghz it shows temps of 50deg C at 20% - low fan setting - and i did a rendering in blend last week, hold it for a couple of hours at 100% - did max on fan controller - it went up unti; 82 deg then descended to 71-74.

 

I don't really categorize this as low profile, but honestly... the best 35Euros i spent on my computer that i would not change.

 

here's a youtube review:

 

 

Edit: the included paste is a very great one too! Well viewed by a few people online.

 

And regarding ram space: here is a detail, i have a Gigabyte GA z 77x ud5h mobo with HyperX ddram
