    If my V8 is anything to go by, the D14 is massive!

    The H50 I think performs slightly better or worse, can't remember, either way it's cheaper (last I checked).

    I have the same motherboard and got myself a Noctua NH-U12P SE2 cooler and had no problem with installation and it performs great too.

    the superior D14 is about €10 more on Amazon.

    The D14 is a better cooler but it's huge and I'm not certain if it will fit inside his case.

    Your V8 is an obese midi-tower cooler; by comparison the D14 is a maxi-tower cooler that makes your V8 look like Baby's First Heatsink :pac:

    im a true believe,r of if ya want to know if something will work with your build just google NH-D14 haf 922 , then you will see other people,s builds .then you will see if you have to cut the case or not .im still a noob and i always think with these guy,s that are mega builder,s i alway,s will be lol but serious,ly google is your friend hope this does,nt sound bad but i,m pist wrighting it and it,s worked 4 me in the past and i,v built a couple of nice pc,s now to know

    google is probably the greatest site ever created :) ive learned so much from it (probably more than i ever learned in school), anyway from what ive read it will fit in, also seen a few videos of it in the case anyway isnt the 922 meant to be actually wider than the 932? if so it would definitely fit it
