I'm having a hard time choosing my CPU cooler , i have a m-atx motherboard 960GM-VGS3 FX and an AMD FX 4300 wich i'd like to overclock it to 4.5 ghz , the thing is the motherboard is really small and im afraid that a big cooler will get into other components , im wondering if http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233081 would be eligible for this motherboard without getting into ram or gpu card ... im open to any suggestion ,please help me !

Also no Ram installed in that pic. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo should work just fine though honestly. As long as you don't have tall ram sinks you'll be ok.
Noctua D14 is good for mITX so why is Thermalright too big?
