Noctua NH-D14 Cooler (best Air Cooler!)

[LarsMarkelson]

No.
NH-D14 in E-W config is much wider than all the heatsinks mentioned above.

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.

Silent PC Review has a review of the NH-D14, very thorough as always

[XRogerX]

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

[dh41400]

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.

[XRogerX]

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



Thanks Roger

Wahoo! I'm famous!

The 120mm fan sitting on the front there sits right over the X58 heatsink. It doesn't intrude on the first PCIe slot, but I move the 4870x2 down to the third slot to give it some room to breath.

[XRogerX]

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

[mastrdrver]

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.

[XRogerX]

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 occupancy

[dh41400]

That's why I'm using Venomous-X

[XRogerX]

ok a few days ago i ordered mine ( Noctua NH-D14 )and i was told that MX-2 was the best for this HS, what do you all think, i rather ask the forum then the retailer

cause you all have done alot of testing with this HS on diffrent types of thermal

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 . 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.

Liquid Metal can corrode copper

Pretty sure it can only corrode aluminium, copper is fine, it might leave a dark "print" (easy to get rid of, though), but that's it. I'd ran a mount for over 2 years and it didn't corrode...

LOL, sorry for that. Liquid metal only corrode aluminium, not copper . My bad

[LarsMarkelson]

According to Vapor's tests, MX-3 > IC Diamond. Shin-Etsu X23 is better than both too. And Indigo Xtreme is the tops. [brag]NH-D14 + Indigo Xtreme is on the way for my i7 [/brag]

[XRogerX]

sweet, i was just searching for one for a chart for AMD with NH-D14 + Indigo Xtreme but nothing unless i dont know how to search lol
