[Stupid Question]
considering the size of this heatsink, and the size of the heatsink on the OCZ Reaper HPC, will it fit? (Tri-channel kit on a Rampage II Extreme)
[/Stupid Question]
Sidewinder has it a bit cheaper now:

Hardware Overclock review.. its on C0 i7.. temps are well.. same as I got with Megashadow. :D
Spire TherMax II? What the hell is that?
Edit: found it... http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/S...rmax_II/5.html It's semi-decent at best.
What do you mean? You cannot compare your system to theirs if that is what you are doing which I doubt but just in case.Quote:

Quite better than my Mugen 2...tempting....
Got a chance to test it as well! :)
Results look quite the same as with PT Megahelms, but here's comparison with TRUE 120C
MB: Asus P7P55D
CPU: Intel Core i5-750 @ 4.2Ghz (1.39V)
Coolers: TRUE 120 revC & Noctua NH-D14
Fans: standard NF-P12 un NF-P14 & 2x Scythe DFS123812H-3000
Thermal grease: Arctic Silver Ceramique
read software: RealTemp 3.00
Ambient temp: ~22C
Load: Prime95 v25.8 Blend & LinX 0.6.4
TRUE 120C with zalman ZM-F3 (1800rpm) vs Noctua with stock fans under Prime load:

And some Ultra Kaze (3000rpm/133.60Cfm) including @ push-pull :D fun under LinX load:

Hm bad graphs imo, but as far as i can recognize its about 3°C with 2x High RPM Fans. Can you test with 2x ~1200RPM (same fans on both setups) ?
€dit:
I edited the graph a bit (hope i didnt messed up the exact results, but sould be ok i guess)
http://www.abload.de/img/noctuavstrue2171l.jpg
Made it with Powerpoint, I used the max temps from youre graph
basically there's 4-5C difference under LinX load on my rig when using same fans on both coolers (single kaze and push-pull)
I guess 1200rpm push-pull config would give you a bit lower results as with single kaze but tendency between these coolers would be the same ;)
p.s. me ain't ms excel guru! :D but thanks for edit- looks OK ;) just checked powerpoint- graphs looks simple and I could use it on further testing :)
4-5 C sounds very nice to me. :-)
What is price tag of this cooler?
I see recomended pricepoint is 74€/85$ - which is nowhere near the same over here.
74€ equals to 540 units in my currency.
85$ equals to 425 units in my currency.
Now go figure :rolleyes:
When it hits retail here,price will be about 700,it is almost 150 bucks.Air cooler is not worth that much
unless made of gold.Although,these are some fine temps (for air cooler).I think they have reached a standstill.
They cannot advance much further.
Them retailer thieves here mugging us wherever they can.
damn, where do u live? i am pretty sure it will drop under 70€ when its available in ger.
my megahalems just arrived, i will install it tomorrow :) noctuas to big and not so so much better.. oh yeah and i got the mega for 35€
I live close enough to you :D
That was just my speculation,but knowing that H50 tickles 200$ price at some retailers,I learned to expect the worse. :D
Not that it bothers me since I finally went for custom built EK setup two weeks ago :)
Say,any german based online retailers which ship internationally?
Offer here is next to catastrophic,any enthusiast built PC has a few parts ordered from abroad and due to not being
EU member yet Customs rips our skin from our backs with them fees and taxes,but it's the only way since I refuse to
acknowledge UD6 as best mobo on the market,for example.
Not mean to offend,but only valid heatsink vs heatsink comparison should be the one done on the same
setup,using same compound and in the same ambiental conditions.Surely,your result as opposed to theirs
could vary by a degree or two,but then again,it is all about a degree or two when crossing from Megashadow to
this Noctua for example.
maybe u find something here:

i wonder if its compatible with the dfi in my sig?
Deltas with turned down RPM can be nearly damn silent.
They are in fact really good fans.
It will be very nice if the D14 can be bought without the fans. That way, it can bring down the cost by ~20 dollars.
