Updated your title to be more descriptive. Hopefully now you'll get the feedback you're looking for. 🙂
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

I do have a formula iv (not v) but the NH-D14 and I have trouble mounting normal sized RAMs. Someone has to confirm but I don't think that high heat spreaders wil fit.

Wont work with tall spreaders. That cooler is an overkill for anything you would mount on the CH5. Noctua has the NH-C12P SE14 which should allow the taller sticks.

Water cool the chip, and you can put ram with heatspreaders that stick out of the case, personally I water cool chip, and then get a active ram cooler, ZALMAN makes excelent cooling solutions for ram, also Corsair Dominator Cooler is a good option, dial speed down and you should have silent and cold rig. I like water because it doesn't put any stress on board and takes less space.
