The aerocool DS line are very good fans. While Gizmotist is right on digesting the Noctua brand, I would suggest that you look at rpm when using them for a rad. If I'm not mistaken, Noctua fans are 1600rpm or higher, while the Aerocool DS line are 1450rpm. The 1600rpm fans are better suited to...

First, the board runs 2 or 3 way SLI. It's a very, very good board, and really, this is the only place it falls short as an enthusiast level board. Second; The scaling issues with 3 way SLI were already mentioned, but it is worth noting. The board does its best to compensate, but your far, far...

I couldn't find exact sizing for the mobo, but I am sure from an eyeball that you'll have enough clearance with fully loaded RAM. Just make sure that you have 159mm or more of room from the mobo to the side panel or window since that's the height of the cooler.

Honestly, since you're using a mid tower case, and aren't looking to burn your cpu with huge o/c I'd suggest the 212 evo. It's a really, really solid cooler (I opine that is the best cooler under 65$) and as long as you maintain good, positive pressure in your case (more intake than exhaust) and...

That mobo will fit a Noctua D15, and that's about 2.25 times wider than the CM 212 evo, and the CM Storm stryker is a huge case that can accommodate the largest form factor coolers. You should be fine for size.

The H100i mounts to the top very easily. I would strongly recommend that you use it as intake in a pull configuration (the fans mounted to the bottom, pulling air through the radiator into the case) add you want to maintain positive air pressure within the case. I use the front fans, added a...

The front fans are intake, in Stock setup they pull air in from the front left of the case pushing toward the cable management area across the drive bays. It is a simple task to flip the drive cages around so that they pull toward the exhaust fan at the back, though. Stock fans are the 140mm...

Check your trusted sources for the storm trooper case, too. The stryker is identical in every way apart from the color, and released earlier, too. If they reviewed the trooper,they wouldn't review is clone in white, too.
