Just fitted her...Shes E-normous...not a lot of clearance between the gpu and cooler. Excuse the rubbish iphone pics...good news is i gave are 4.4gig 60c at full load. Not sure if its stable yet, didnt have time to test properly. Just a 5 min small fft

Yeh they are a beast of a cooler, ive been using one for the past few months and the temps have been superb with the 612S. The only reason ive recently changed to a Phanteks is because it blends in with my motherboard better as well as being a good cooler.

If you can add another fan to the other side for a push pull setup, the 612S comes with a spare bracket.

I thought about doing thst but with it being as close to the exhaust as it is, it should be ok

Nice and big, similar size to the noctua i used to have.

About 2mm clearance of gpu eh?

lol yup

i thought i was going to have to have move the gpu down a slot lol

had a BSOD this morn so have taken it down from 4.4 to 4.2...see how that goes

I had to get rid of a cooler once, as it completely covered the first pci-e slot, i really wanted it too as it was quite nice, just an odd shape.

Good luck with the down-clock too.

Haha, loads of room on my 775 socket, but no room at the top of the case.

60C is nothing for an Ivy, mine was running at 4.5GHz 1.28V under load, temps about 73C on hottest core during Prime95, but never over 60 during general use. I set like +0.090V offset to normal voltage. I could use a negative offset for 4.2GHz though, ran at lower volt than stock for 4.2 yours might too.

They are massive coolers! As big as the dual tower coolers in fact:

It feels just as wide as my D-14 just not as deep. My D-14 was easier to install mind, I take pleasure in seating the D-14.

I'm about to stick one on an i5 3570 and use it passive. I wanted to use a smaller case but decided to stick with my Eclipse 62 as I know that will have enough headroom......
