Cpu cooler help please!!

[mr griffin]

Im looking to use a big ass cooler on my asus maximus vI gene on my 4770k cpu

Im worried about the cooler impeeding the first pci slot though.

My top choices are

Silver arrow extreme or noctua d14

Also added dark rock pro 4 cooler too now

Has anyone used either of these on my board ?

to me this video shows that you have quite a bit of room regarding the pci slots, don't know about high profile ram though

Thanks for taking the time to post, but that's a full atx motherboard mine is a micro atx board and the pci express slot it right at the top....

Im pretty sure a noctua d14 will just about fit, and I know a noctua d15 covers the first pci express slot by a few mm
I have a feeling a silver arrow will cover the slot also

Ive looked up all the coolers and be quiet pro 4 looks like it will be the one for me then as specs say its width is the smallest...will phone up overclockers b4 order to just make sure it fits.
Noctua d14 width is 140mm

Noctua d15 width is 150mm (seen vid on youtube this covers first pcie slot on my board by a few mm)

Silver arrow extreme width is 155mm

Be quiet pro 4 width is 136mm

Not much in performance between the coolers either from what ive read.
