I'm having an Intel i7 3770k 3.5 8MB Quad-Core shipped to my house tomorrow, along with an Asus Sabertooth Z77 LGA 1155. I'm curious as to what my best options are for non-liquid cooling, (I don't want the extra weight on my rig, as I take it with me to work for long tours.) I've looked at a few CM's, but then while perusing a random forum, I came across a thread about the Noctua NH-D14 HSF. Everything I have found on this product implies that it may be the "Best CPU cooler ever." When checking their website for compatibility, the Sabertooth is completely compatible with the cooler. Are there better coolers around for the same price range? Or have I actually found the best for my money. I'm also looking for advice on the clearance of the coolers in a mid-tower. Really looking for input on this, because I'm hoping to OC my i7 to around 4.5-4.6 ghz.
