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:

Why is that so?Quote:

Do you feel is worth getting the indigo over the Gelid Extreme I got right now? I mean, should I expect a nice improvement?
ND14 way to big!!! get the VX or Mega
Yeah those are miniaturized coolers....give me a break dude...enough of your non stop trolling already..your antics are getting very old... :rolleyes: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:

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

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:
