June 19, 201312 yr That is not true, that why noctua build the sec firm mount bracket. You guys look at the spoiler? Please get a sense of humour... thx for the advice though. :Sigh: It wasn't advice...
June 19, 201312 yr Final moment budget problem forced me to go on the NHD14 instead of the Silver arrow... Its just costs me 80 $ less because If I will be going on the silver arrow I need to buy it from amazon and the taxes in my country makes it double price... I can pick the nh-d14 in a local store for 90 $.. so this is way I am going with the nhd14. What do you think ? It'll work great. I'm using one now for the last few years on my i7-860 and even in recent cpu cooler tests (including against newer closed loop all in one water cooling units) it scores near or at the top on Ivy Bridge chips. I plan to re-use it when I upgrade to either Haswell or Ivy-E later this year and Noctua will even provide a LGA2011 mounting kit for it for free if I show them my d14 invoice and one for a LGA2011 chip or motherboard.

June 20, 201312 yr Yes Noctua are a great company. I wonder what they have in development that we don't know about? Bet there's some good stuff. Changing the subject slightly... The Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo is a great cooler, sneaking up there towards the top coolers. Probably due to... "the heat pipes that are tightly packed into a flat array on the CPU Cooler base. This acts as a virtual vapour chamber that dissipates a large amount of heat." Quite amazing actually for a single tower, single fan design. Makes me wonder why they haven't developed a twin tower cooler based on the same technology. I'm sure if they did it would be a winner. They haven't, probably because they want enthusiasts to be swayed towards the new Eisberg closed loop water cooler.
