No, generally it won't, but it would depend on the design of the motherboard. Model no?

Opt for nh-u12p, good vfm cooler & you can overclock upto 4.2-4.5GHz.

nah not liking the design and it got only 1 fan

how about Noctua NH-D14 (will it fit with my rams)

Overclocking depends on motherboard but while oc'ing your processor, you need to maintain normal temperature there. So, you need good cooler, otherwise processor might be damaged.

D-14 will easily fit into acts 840.

D14 is one of the best air coolers

if ur in doubts why no go for H60 or H70

^^ There are few people who generally try to avoid water cooling. May be he is one of them.
