I have the noctua d14, absolutely love it. Wish I had gone for the h80i just to make the insides of my case a little nicer

Swiftech H220 / 4770K
Thermalright Archon / 2500K
Phanteks PH-TC14PE
large but quality cooler
no it doesn't snap motherboards, at least in my experience (people seem really paranoid about this - maybe it depends on how quality your motherboard, case and CPU cooler fitting is?? I've never had any issues with large CPU coolers)
performance:
i5-2500K OC'd @ 4.8GHz on Asrock Z68 Extreme4
temps: around 31/32 degrees celsius (idle) and fluctuates at 38 to 44 celsius (load)
I'm using Cooler Master's Hyper TX3 with dual fans (92mm).
A man must have code -Bunk
Thermalright HR-02 Macho.
Noctua NDH14
I'm using a H100 on a AMD-9370, I got both of them cheap, about £200 for both. The thermonuclear 9370 actually stays under 45 while gaming (OCed and with xfire running below it), and the H100 is working great, got it for £40 refurbished. Most people would say not to risk a referb on water cooling, the way I see it what ever was going to go wrong did, corsair got it back fixed it and double checked everything and I got it for less than half price, if it was new it'd only have been given a cursory check before leaving the factory, and what happened to BMAN61 might happen.
Phanteks TC14PE on two of my PC's and an old Corsair A-70 air cooler on another. Max temps are in the low 50C's. And only fans to fail. (No overclocks) All CPU's are AMD FX-8350's
