shows it to be significantly better than the TR-120UE

Good review Ali. Probably a modded TRUE would be a couple of degrees better but still D14 with a 2 fan combo is comfortably better and the difference actually grows with higher rpm.
I'm glad your tests is relevant and shows how hot an i7 cpu really is even with 1.15v.
Thankyou!Quote:

Lapping usually also requires a lapped cpu :) . The easiest way to improve a TRUE is a pressure mod.
i guess you are right. i had it on a E6400 which i think had a concave heat sink spreader.Quote:

Noctua really shines on very high TDP cpus like the i7. Megahalems, 10x Extreme, TRUE or even Mugen 2 will cope just fine with your Q6600. Here are some tests:

And just have a look at the price of the Noctua NH-D14 :eek:
So take the good old Ninja 2 :D
Any review comparing DH14 against Corsair H50 on a high TDP CPU (Core i7 @ 4GHz+)?
Hmm. 3K UK's are just a tad LOUD for most of our cases, but I'll bet a 1900RPM Kaze Maru in place of an NF-P14 would have most of its noise swallowed up by the fin arrays. Then you could slap some UK 2k fans on both ends for push-pull, or a couple 25mm fans. As best I can tell without laying my hands on one, the D14 really wants a fan in its middle.
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...-review-8.html
the third row of pics, notice the cooler over the second ram slot,
i need to know if reversed or rotated 180degrees, would it hamper reapers on an amd board, rig1?
edit::
http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=c...g=en#AM2+_Asus
watchin compatibility, how does it not cover some of the ram slots on m4a79 del?
It will cover slots all over the place. As long as they are standard height dimms, install them before mounting.
I just got this thing and let me just say I thought my TRU was huge. THIS THING IS MAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSIVE!
16°C drop over stock cooler, so I am not complaining :D
I tested it with a 955 C2 and the D14 was about 6C colder than the H50 both using the same fans but the D14 had the fan in the middle as well so it was two against 3 but I did run the H50 fans harder and still was not able to compete with the D14 and that was on a phenom.Quote:

Cogage Arrow 14 is arriving in shops on the 20th... very similar to the NH-D14 and the IFX-14. Only one review I've seen, but it shows the Arrow 14 outperforming the NH-D14:
http://i49.tinypic.com/k4xpja.jpg
http://translate.google.de/translate...n&hl=&ie=UTF-8
One big difference is that you can fit a 38mm fan in the middle of the Arrow 14. So the two towers are farther apart than the NH-D14.
Did they use the same fans on both?
1 C is within the margin of error though but still interesting that it fits a 38mm in the middle. :-)
Arrow has the same issues as old TR products: lousy base finish, poor mounting system not to mention its not nickel plated. Add to that the price of 50 euro and you're better off with an IFX-14.
Heres a few pictures of Arrow's base:

That doesn't look that bad to me... could this be showing how Thermalright likes to make their bases a little bit concave to match unlapped heat spreaders?Quote:

lol. I wonder what performance will be like.
That doesn't seem like much.
So far, the two coolers I know of that beat the NH-D14 and are available:
Titan Fenrir TTC-NK85TZ
Prolimatech Megahalem

I have a simple question for all you HDT fans out there: if HDTs are so great why none of the big cooling companies made one?
Ah, there we go again..
Yea, I really don't think the Fenrir beats the NH-D14. I also really don't think the Mega beats the D14 either. For reference, I read a lot about heatsinks and look at reviews and forum results.Quote:

Only thing would be getting the heatpipes flat as they are very delicate and are useless if their core is exposed.
The only decent HDT, construction wise, is this one. As you can see there is copper between heatpipes. The whole point of a solid copper base is to allow the heat to be transfered to all of the heatpipes. Thats where the HDT coolers fail because the cpu die will only come in contact with a couple of heatpipes.
Do you know how well it performs? Didn't see anything on that link.Quote:

That is only one piece of Arrow, and as we all know very well, TR base finish can be very much different from one piece to the other. God know TRUE had problems like this over and over again. However, the interesting part is how the Arrow will perform on i7, lapped and full package. Judging from Ramiro's latest IFX-14 experiences, that might be something very interesting ;)Quote:

Good for you son. I hope you have the same luck when buying an i7, ie you get one that doesn't go beyond 70 degrees with any crappy cooler on top at 1.45v.
You gotta love brainwashed kids believing every piece of crap hdt is on par with the top dogs.
Gotta love worthless people on the internet :rolleyes:Quote:

You might have a point, but it still reflects what 99% of what the users do. Assuming all coolers were given equal opportunity, I would assume after several remounts it would still produce the same ranking.
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/coo...ooler-review/3
Where you might have more of a point is with ambient temps. Those screw with results more than anything, especially air coolers.
If someone wants to send me a Titan Fenrir I'll do my own tests :)
You seem like a nice guy so I'm gonna give you some tips: whenever you see a test where the stock intel cooler doesn't have a FAIL next to it you can bet your house and car they are not pushing it hard enough. Secondly you ought to ask yourself: why would I buy a cooler costing over 50 bucks since there are similarly performing products way cheaper. The whole idea behind buying a high end product is to go beyond regular and stock.
Not my favorite site but he seems to have a better grip on reality:
http://www.overclockersclub.com/revi...ua_nhd14/4.htm
I saw almost all the noctua reviews, only 3 pitted it against the titan.
Thanks for your advise, but I think I will make my own conclusions on products and reviews :)
You already had your mind set buddy so whats new?Quote:

I mean, really? The flaming was going on for more than a month already..:shakes:
Well, I guess people have to take a break on Christmas, New Year's Eve, have a nice time with the family, enjoy their hollidays, and when they get back to work, poooof, all that anger goes out on the internet. :)
Wow whats wrong with people here? Did you read my post, I just bought a Noctua not too long ago... Its impressive and I love it, but!
I didn't make up my mind, I want to see reviews that compare all these coolers, is this hard to understand? I am finding much difficulty understanding this ignorant point of view that the Noctua is the greatest and anyone that says otherwise is retarded?
I want to prove to myself I own the best air cooler in the world, but I need proof, evidence, or whatever you call it in your native language.
Seriously, wtf.
If you want the ultimate proof buy the Fenrir and test it yourself, but the only way you'll see relevant differences is if you test them on an i7 with 1.4v+. Big coolers like the Noctua and IFX-14 love high TDP cpus.
My Q6600 , testing on high voltage .
Bios 1.593Vcore
Vdrop 1.568v
http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/7119/1593v.jpg
your ambient must be at most 10°C...
lol ^^ my ambient is 22c . recording to my aircondition remote control.
That sounds hard to believe.. a difference of 2°C between ambient temps and idle temps? That's ridiculous! If I had a delta like that in my watercooling setup I'd be more than happy.
I mean I hope its true, and I want to believe, but can I?!
Theres a 5 degree difference between the hottest and the coldest core in idle which is plausible. And the load results are also fair since the Noctua can do this fanless:
http://forum.lab501.ro/showpost.php?...&postcount=161
The fact is 775 chips with correct sensors are not very hot for these monsters.
Dude in that screenie , as i see the guy is using TJ Max of 100 ... thats wrong by intel its suppose to be TJ max 90 (well some say its 95) .Quote:

then decrease 10c from the screenie , its 77 77 76 76 c per core .
You should probably talk to the maker of Realtemp, Kevin aka unclewebb. :)
Thanks. Ended up getting the DH-14, and I'm pretty happy with it :up:Quote:

Weird fan mounting if thats what they used.
Wonder what the C.Arrow gets with a 38mm fan in it?
Heck, there are some 140x38mm fans listed in some manufacturer catalogs - not that I've seen any for sale.
San Ace 140L I know is 140x38mm. Very hard to find now since they are sold out at Newark :X
Our NH-D14 review is up.
Click me.
:clap: Very good review. I really want an NH-D14 with Indigo Xtreme. ARGH WHY DID I GET THE VENOMOUS X!!!!!??!?!?!?! lol, it's also very good but not as good as the NH-D14 especially since you can't use IX :( Curiosity killed the cat.Quote:

That was not the point though.
When you are going into high end air cooling and you want performance then who cares about size as long as it fits in your case?
I am on the performance comes first bandwagon.
Also, that dan777 is a troll always trolling with his megahalems love....I swear he sleeps with the megahalems next to him. lol
Well, it doesn't fit on a lot of motherboards and into a setups with tall ram heatsinks.Quote:

Can't use IX on Venomous X because the heatsink twists easily when max pressure is applied. The heatsink can't twist with IX or else you mess it up. My understanding from all accounts read is that the NH-D14 doesn't twist.Quote:
Originally Posted by dh41400

I tried it with Coollaboratory MetalPad (similar procedure) and it did "mind" the convex base but it stood there ... the only problem was that it wasn't thick enough (it didn't melted into the HS pores) and it didn't catch the cooler base (just IHS).
Maybe IX has a thicker layer which (when it melts) "catches" both IHS/base and melts evenly on both, serving as some sort of a binding/"glue" thing.
Weird. You're tried that on the D14? I only know of 1 person who has used Indigo Xtreme with the D14... so I'm basically going off of that.
Interesting, I just found this on youtube:

Absolutely did not work for me. Used both applications correctly with my Noctua D14. Had all fans off. Went and ran Prime95. Temps immediately went to 95C and stayed there, and didn't budge for 30 min. Finally gave up, and when I took off the heatsink, this crap hadn't even changed shape. I made sure that everything was perfect. I'm gonna try to get my money back.

The Noctua D14 has heat pipes you cant turn them off like a fan or a pump. I had no problems with the reflow procedure avg core temp drop of 5c.
I was using AS5 on my i7 940 w/ koolance CPU 345AT
DragRacingTV (2 weeks ago) 0 Reply | Spam
it failed to flow because the cpu cooler didn't get hot enough... i had something similar happen with my mugen 2, which has nearly as much cooling surface area as your d14... i had to turn off all of the case fans, and cut off all airflow, before it finally reflowed... cpu coolers with large mass are going to take longer to reflow, and it's harder to heat 'em up.
I was referring to Venomous and his convex base :)
But what you come up with ... that would be extreme and I think it would work very well (D14 with IX).
I was planing on installing IX on Venomous but I'll have to dig up some more pics and user impressions before doing that ... thickness in the liquid form is my main concern :/
No.Quote:

Yeah pretty much but on my TRUE if you put a fan on there it still covers a ram slot. If you put a bigger fan or a shrouded fan it'd cover more.Quote:

Can I thank you for your effort. :clap:
Hello i was thinknig about getting the HS , but i was wondering if anyone got a pic of there system with this on a MSI790FX-GD70
It would make my mind up to get this is i saw one
Thanks Roger
I found only this pic on the net:
http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/3...ny00171.th.jpg
Hope it helps :)
is that the same board (MSI 790-FX)
and thats the only way you can mount it?
wondering if it going to hit my GFX card
i Got 4890's in Tri-Fire
I just saw that it was a X58 board (sorry).
If you are using low profile RAM heatsinks it shouldn't be a problem, you could turn it any way you like :)
I think it should fit near that VGA if you reorganize fans on D14 ...
If you're really unsure I'd suggest getting something like Venomous-X, a very good cooler.
so i would beable to face that with it blowing out the bk of the tower like on an AMD board
this is what my system looks like now with the TRUE Ultra 120 Extreme
and i want to get a better HS

Oh I'm so lame today ... why didn't I thought of ... the Noctua site for ex :D
It's good to go.
ok sweet now i just got to find out what way is it gonig to face lol
ok it does the way i want it to go here the link to it incase someone needs to know thhis also

yes but i was asking about the MSI790fx Baord cause the PCIE is alot closer to the cpu look at my post back a few and you will see what i mean
No I saw that, I was just clearing up cause the angle of the pic kind of deceives and makes it look like it stretches down further than it does.
oh ok i misunderstood you, i will post the pics of mine when i get it in about 1week, so people can see how it looks like on an AMD socket

I think you should do fine. Just don't expect miracles. New coolers seem to enjoy higher tdp cpus like i7.
thats BIG space occupancyQuote:

cause you all have done alot of testing with this HS on diffrent types of thermal
Coollaboratory Liquid Metal (when lapped) > Indigo Xtreme > IC diamond > other stuff.
Liquid Metal can corrode copper, didn't try Indigo Xtreme yet, IC diamond is good although it's viscosity is very high - it sticks like hell lol :p:. If you want 1-2 degree difference, may be the IC diamond is your choice. Otherwise, I'd recommend MX-2 or MX-3 since these are very easy to apply and clean-up.Quote:
