I'll be using the same case I'm using at the moment, which is the Lian Li PC-A70FB Aluminium Full Tower Case.

After doing a quick Google search, I've read a lot of people favouring the Noctua NH-D15 for the 5820k.

Thoughts?

It is a very good cooler, if you don't mind the colour.

Is there anything as good as the NH-D15 that comes in black, or at least something less "70s"?

Lian-Li website states 175mm max cpu cooler height and the Phanteks is 171mm so it should fit fine.

NH-D15 = 1970's. That's spot on (I'll use that for future reference) . However I now own one and they are pretty awesome 'style with flairs or flares' !

Cheers, Lee.

Well, ordered everything in my last post, including the Phanteks cooler. Hoping the RAM comes in stock soon, as I'm looking forward to getting out of the stone age, and experiencing some power.
