Is this CPU cooler good?

I was thinking of buying Noctua NH-L9i i have an i5-3570k i was thinking of overcloking it

Noctua is considered the best brand and the most efficent choice when it comes to overclocking. However that model is a low profile one, and unless you don't have some smaller case, it would be safer to go for the bigger ones.
For example the Noctua NH-L12

Does it fit on Spire Sonex 6010 and my mobo is Z77-V LX?

It should. Thats a pretty common board and no way they would make incompatible. Also in size terms the NH-L12 is still smaller as the high-end Noctua fans

Never heard of that case, but looks like regularly sized gaming case. It should be fine.

I googled it and the first pic was with a Noctua cooler

If that huge one fits, the NH-L12 MUST fit.
