Last bit of my newish build.

Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8)

All in a Silverstone TJ-09 http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=94&area=usa, which according to Silverstone has a "Limitation of CPU cooler 169mm" which I am assuming is how much room I have?

Someone recommended this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-078-TR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395 but as its out of stock till the 9th and I'm impatient, are there any equally good alternatives?
 
Not convinced these 140mm CPU coolers will fit actually, as they are saying 170mm height. How does the 120mm Noctua compare?
 
Will just be using the settings in Bios to get to either 4.4 or 4.6 I guess. More interested in getting something quiet!
 
Hmm, so wait two weeks on the thermalright silver arrow, pay a bit extra for the Noctua or go with the Venomous X. Who comes up with these silly names by the way?

Other thing is, will I have any issues with the cooler fitting over the ram? They look huge.
 
They seem relatively tall spikey things - The Ram that is.

Havent bought anything yet so I could change them, would just need to do some more research.
