Yes it has a 200mm fan in the top, I guess the H60 would be unpractical then, in this situation the Noctua would perform better then. I'll take the motherboard reapaninja suggested.

BTW, watch out with ordering from Alternate. Although the service is great, they use DPD to send your package. I've heard several cases where they just drop off your package in front of your door and leave.
That doesn't sound very reasuring, altough i have had several (expensive) packages delivered by DPD which arived fine without any issues. Thanks for your warning though.

[QUOTE=reapaninja;31645136] and don't touch closed loop watercooling like the H60[/QUOTE] I don't mean to seem like an ass, but I've already proved to you once where the H60 would be very useful and how it performs on par, sometimes better sometimes worse than the NH-D14 yet you still think they're useless? I'm not arguing that the NH-D14 isn't great but there's absolutely nothing wrong with closed loop watercooling coolers at all and they're definitely up there with the rest of the heatsink ones for the same price if not cheaper. Although they do tend to be louder but mostly due to the Noctua fans being marvelous, Corsair/Antec just need to bundle some good fans with their coolers.

After triple checking i ordered the parts. Thanks for the help Facepunch, it is appreciated.

And enjoy the rig MuivirT, you'll not be disappointed!
