yeah...kinda like the noctua too..
so,my current cooler can be plugged out just like that...coz the cooler got pipes and
will it fitted on my board as i'm using scythe ninja..

Which board you're using anyway?

erm...abit ab9...

there might be a prob there, some1 had to bend his HR-05 pipes to fit it in

wow
looks like scythe cooler is not friendly...

not to say that its not friendly, but the fins are too low, so its hard to fit a northbridge after market HSF there

tuniq also not frenly as well,it block my all heatpipe nb chipset except jingting,ngam ngam can fit only

From the picture, I afraid Noctua U6 will hit your heatsink. it is better for you to measure first..


Off topic, anyone want to loan his Noctua U6 to me for a day since I even sold my sample unit ? Need it for LanParty

er....in that case i've to change my hsf in order to use chipset cooler....
i'll check back to this thread after i've change my hsf...
neway,thanx guys...

me oso using ab9 but juz add a 40mm fan to on ur nb can solve ur case... i did that to mine... if wanna go for more extreme then u might need 40 x 40 x 20~23 mm fan for ur nb lor but if fan too thick then u might need to mod it a bit as 1rd party hsf might touch them...

If you really want, I can lend to you...as now I am not using it... lend to you 1 day nvm de... if you want, pm me lar...

owh,will try to add the lil fan to my nb...

@sHawTY

He is using it

@Kataro

Thanks for your offer, bro... I dont think I need it anymore. I cant mount it anymore. Sigh...

Guys, I think I faced some problem here. I just mounted Noctua NH-U12F into my rig and after that, I noticed that I cant mount NC-U6 already

My rig picture


U12F blocking my NB


Do you guys think that TR HR 05 SLI will solve my problem?

Thanks

yes the HR-05 will indeed solve ur prob. however if u could mount the hsf the other way, that would help too.

, Mr. irangan, i think your problem might be same with me, having trouble to fit in 3rd party chipset cooler even though using different board ...damn, until now, i'm not sure whether it will fit or not on SLI-DR

Yes irangan.
You can still use the NC-U6 too.
Just turn your NH-U12F and make the exhaust of the heatsink to face directly to the psu.
This way, the heat from the heatsink will still be blown out from the casing.
As PSU takes the air from the casing, and blow it out from the casing too.

This way, you can still use the NC-U6

OK. Your chipset location is about the same with mine, also having problem to fit in NC-U6 if want the fan to blow to rear (actually still can fit in, just will have problem with fan clip... )

Ya, many mobo have the chipset near to the proc socket there make it hard to change to 3rd party chipset cooler if using 3rd party cpu cooler...

won't it disturb the air flow? for my case, I don't want to change it to blow to psu is due to the caps near the cpu socket will block a bit, I can still fit in but need to bend the cap a bit which I don't think is good...

I already tried HR 05 SLI (borrow from coolice). It will 'touch' my GC no matter what direction I mount it

Thinking to get a JingTin


Ya lo... Hard to find a cooler when it located so near to CPU. sigh sigh

I just tried HR 05 SLI, wont work too. Touch my GC


Ya I knew that I can mount U6 if i change the direction of my HSF. But I personally think that push all those hot air to PSU and release through there dont sounds like a great idea to me. Hehe..

Currently I am looking for JingTin

Wanna ask one quest. Did u guys use AS5 on NB and its chipset cooler?
Encourage to do tht ??
