bro,

today back from work, reach home and spotted a big box on the table ---> Noctua D14, bought from Cex.

the whole process took about 45min to install the cooler and assembly back the system into casing. And i can say, this cooler can fit with A-data XPG v2.0 ram without any problem, either horizontally or vertically

lawl. Why 45min? that's pretty long.

just wondering, you mount it vertical or horizontal? I've changed mine to horizontal, cause I want to keep one PCI-E x16 slot free.

bro wanna ask...
can i put NF-P14 premium fan into 120mm hole?wanna change current cpu cooler fan...

because from the pic...NF-P14 premium fan may be using 120mm but the only differences is that is has bigger diameter(14cm)..
nvm them...found the answer

umm, actually they give darn alot of goodies, seriously
they even provide those kind of fan vibration silencer like this,

for that 120mm fan you mentioned to be mount onto any casing.

gooding right?

haha...as long as can get it done should be ok right?

I mount it vertically, in fact if horizontal could block my 1st PCI-E slot but no problem to fit ram in both direction

i am having this cooler in my rig, running i7 930 stock which give me good temps when load..better then my previous cooler the TRUE by lowering my temp 2-3c when load...for idle they both are nearly the same with differences of 1c

actually..i wanna replace 120mm cm fan in the cpu cooler..

How does this perform against venomous ?

Uhmm, I would say NH-D14. The only HSF that can keep up to NH-D14 is Mega Shadow, provided that you have the right pair of fans

p/s: was contemplating to buy either Mega Shadow or NH-D14 before I finally bought this cooler.

Added on July 10, 2011, 4:22 pmimho, this cooler is good for load, not that good on idle. Total opposite of Scythe Ninja3
now my i7-870 is clocked at 3.5Ghz, idle temp(w/o aircond) is around 42c, when playing games, it doesn't hit 50c, true story

Wao,awesome stuff!
thx for the review!looks like i have to put this in my list

yea this cooler is certainly good for load temp and load temp is more important imho

guys... anyone can tell me how to take out the fan clip from the fan.. wanna change the 120mm fan to exhaust instead of sucking air cos of casing restriction..

thanks..

problem solved..

wow.. nice

is it heavy? coz it's looks like can break the mobo

Yes it's heavy...
But the stand is very stable, so no worries
True.. looks like it can break the mobo though... hahaha..

Will try OC my i7 2600k soon!

It won't, because there is a backplate
don't worry, it won't damage your mobo.

Hi
heres my pictures for NH D14

how did u get the 3rd fan mounting kit??...interested in getting one too..

anyway..just got my noctua few days ago..and perform extremely well...

not at idle since..idle temp is 43c avrge @4.25ghz...and 72c max at 4.25ghz full load..and normal room temperature..no aircond...

wah after reading this review felt my H70 like crap...
mayb need to shift...

Personally, I don't trust close loop water cooling either get the DIY or just get high end cooling. Corsair Hydro series gooding if put in HTPC, but if used it for overclocking, then confirm fail. but am not really sure about newer ones like H100 etc. cause IINM, it doesn't use Asetek OEM anymore.

is it recommended to use NH-D14 since i'm using Cosmos Pure?
my case not gud ventilation....
