yups NH-D14 much better. and can you explain why you need a ram cooler.? doesnt that ripjaws already have heat spreaders? are you going to overclock too heavily?

S_V can you tell me the place where i can order zalman coolers in India?

^ till how much? you don't really need a ram cooler. a good cabby with proper ventilation will offer appropriate cooling.

OC is not for normal and regular PC user like Internet,Movies and Music...

OC is meant for Media Encoders and decoders, Benchmarking and other enthusiastic user things..

@Bulldozer929
Regarding ZALMAN, i have no idea mate... usually ask your nearest or regular shop person to get it for you..... That's what I do... Maybe someone can help you regarding this matter...

Temp - 22 to 26 degree (Everest)

At present...its 3.48GHz...

Whenever I try to OC more (bios)...I get Overclock fail error...As I am beginner and trying it for the first time...May be I am not doing in right way :(

Upto what extent I can OC (using stock fan) ??

Other Reason of buying CPU Cooler: Stock Fan is very noisy.. :(

tell the cpu temp at load. if that 22-26 is load then its great. there are several reasons why its not going further. not to tell you since you are a beginner. keep it there if you just doing it for fun. buddy try to understand that overclock will benefit you if you use cpu intensive apps like S_V mentioned. if none of those then you wont notice visible performance improvements.

games usually benefit from gpu overclocking much more than cpu.

and read first online guides from tomshardware or anandtech forums and many more before playing with bios. be sure what you are doing.

Yes it is.
IMO add the second fan along with the stock fan in push-pull.
