You did some testing between the TRUE Copper vs Noctua NH-D14?

Yes, i did some testind with "ultra extreme TDP" (1.66vcore, 1.65vqpi and large FFT). Coper was convex lapped for max heat transfer from nehalem die.

Here you can see previous Copper vs Nh-D14 test.

Interesting tests.

Have you tested the Noctua NH-D14 with 2x 6000 RPM to better compare the Noctua and the TRUE 120 Copper, or just did the test with 2x 6000 + 1x 4000 RPM?

I say this because I just change my Noctua NH-D14 for a TRUE 120 Copper and did not know if the exchange right. But the TRUE 120 Copper has not yet come to me, will be used 2x Scythe S-Flex 75CFM.

Will I regret it with this exchange?

Almost no diference between 2x6000+4000 and 2x6000.

Not a good choice to replace NH-D14 with Copper because Cooper have very bad base and need convex lapping and retention sistem modding for best results on nehalem. Even with lapping is not better than Noctua cooler at low rpm.

Copper thermic behavior and TRUE arhitecture make him very good for extreme tdp/cfm.
