Before buying you should study the compatibility list for the mainboard on the manufacturer side once. There you can find information about RAM SIZE.
There is everything here you need for mounting, and one each own guidance for Intel and AMD. Unfortunately, the easy to understand instructions in English, a German version can also be downloaded from the manufacturer's site.
To install the motherboard has to be removed. Since the expansion and replacement of a fully equipped and wired motherboard is a bit tricky, this should only be done by users who know what they are doing. Everyone else should get expert help. Only the mounting of the fan with the brackets requires a little brain, but to cope :-).
Also, one should before !!! Installation of the heat sink above the be clear where you want to connect the fan because the heat sink covered after installing large parts of the motherboard.
I did not use the enclosed low-noise cable but the fan connected directly to the motherboard of a controllable three-pin connector. Now I can regulate the speed of the fan with the board software wonderfully in 10 different stages.
I have reached the following temperatures with my I7 930.
Boxedlüfter after 10 minutes Prime: Idle 46 C / 100% CPU load 75 C where the CPU has been automatically zurückgetacktet to 1600 MHz in order to keep the temperature / temperature of the motherboard; beyond the 45 C.
Noctua after 40 !!! Prime minutes: Idle 34 C / 100% CPU utilization with full 2800 Mhz and 900 rpm / 56 C, temperature of the motherboard 34 C.
Only the price of about 60, - Euro is greatly used to, but you also get a super quality.
Addendum:
Here's a quote from the manufacturer's website
Can I run connections and use the automatic fan control my mainboard Noctua fans on 4-pin PWM?
The 3-pin connector of our fans can be as shown below simply connected to the 4-pin PWM connectors current mainboards so that the fourth, used to transmit the PWM signal Pin is free (A corresponding catch on the connector thereby preventing a possible reverse polarity) , Some mainboards (eg current models of gigabyte) can control fan not only via PWM, but also by adjusting the supply voltage. If necessary, for the corresponding change BIOS options like "Fan Control Mode" from "PWM" on "Voltage" or "analog" required. Please consult in this regard the manual of your mainboard. Some motherboards also feature a factory-preset "Auto" setting is automatically selected depending on the ansteckten fan in between PWM and voltage based control. On motherboards that pulses lower the power supply instead of the voltage, it is possible that the automatic control of the fan speed does not work.
