First time builder, installing Noctua D14 (quick question).

Anesthetize · 14 Jun 2011 at 22:00

So, I could be mistaken, but I think I'm using a 1155 ASRock mobo (ASRock Z68 Extreme4), but the instructions for installation has holes for other mobos. One is for 1366 mobos, one for 1156 mobos and the other for 775. Mine is 1155 I think, so am I right in assuming I should use the 1156 holes?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, use the Socket 1156 holes.

They're the same as Socket 1155.

My God, mounting that bugger was hard work. I couldn't see how centred I was the whole time until I was finally able to get a grip on the screws and tighten it down. It didn't slide around, so hopefully, all good!.

Would you mind sharing temps please?

Noctua D14 are the best temp overall with excellent high end air cooler! Shouldn't be any problem with it. My i7 920 overclocked @ 4.20GHz at just below 73C at 1.31v at the bios (for those who need more voltages than me) as mine is only 1.28v

Cheers. I don't doubt this. I read it's a top cooler. The reason for my request is because I have the same cpu and mobo.
