Just realised how hot the air inside my casing is with just the FM82 as intake..Damn, cant wait to get my hands on the S12-1200..lol..Will get the FM121 next week as a safety measure first.Cant stand the heat inside the casing..

Bro irangan,

Just to inform you that i had just deposited RM50 into your maybank account as the deposit for my order.Please clarify my payment with me ok and let me know when full payment is needed..Thanks..

Actually you measure yourself already can know it will crash with the GC and Ram for sure if wanna put as push to rear... your mobo...even with HR-01, TT BTVX also will have problem with your GC... as for the Ram slot, the total ram high + Ram slot should be more than 30mm isn't it...the height from the HSF base to the bottom of fan is about 27.5mm according to Noctua box description...so adding in the socket height also is just around 30mm+ only, so it is true that the ram slot will unuseable...

from the photo you show, it is impossible to put the fan as push, but pull also will do about the same lor I think...not much different as your is put as 90 degree... may I know what fan is that at the rear? how much is the CFM? If high CFM, then don't need to worry as the rear fan will be have enough power to suck out all the hot air, if low CFM, then maybe will have a little bit problem, where there might have some hot air trap between HSF and PSU... the PSU fan normally is low rpm isn't it (correct me if I am wrong...), so it can't help much in suck out the hot air...

Besides, try arrange a bit your cable there, abit messy, which might disturb a bit your air flow...

Bro irangan,

Just read about the NH-U12F description you have on the first page and saw this :

Using the supplied Ultra-Low-Noise adaptor, the noise level can be lowered to only 8dB(A)!

What is that Ultra-Low-Noise adaptor and what does it do?Is it available for sale?

I remember last time read from a review somewhere about it, it is a cable which have a resistor inside which will make the fan to spin slower, that is, lower rpm, so the noise will lower too...but of course the CFM will lower too... but it will still work great...but I think that require you have a great air flow casing and you are really look into very very silent setup... correct me if I am wrong...

Oh..if thats the case, then not good for me..lol..I thought it was able to do the same CFM at much lower noise level.lol..Anyway 17dB should be fine with me.If i wanted something slower, i could get a fan controller..THe S12-1200 doesnt come with a fan controller isit?

Bro irangan, do u have 90mm noctua fan?

so slow low noise still wana control?

lol..if it can still go lower until no voice but retain the actual speed/CFM, why not ..lol..

Using a fan controller to slow it down mean it will have lower CFM lor...it is same with using the adapter except one is permanent and the other can change... and yes, the S12-1200 does not come with fan controller, they use the adapter instead of fan controller... and you need to purchase it separately, it not come together...

How much you think it will cost if purchased seperately and how low will the CFM become if use with the adapter?

Yeah.. Sure you still can join the bulk

I will post your name

Correct

Thanks ya

Noted that. Thanks ya

Ya lo... I was waiting for ppl to resell the fan to me but noone did. I need to order few for myself too.

Recieved

I will ask my supplier about this. Actually even the fan running at full speed, you wont even hear any sound from it unless you put your ear beside the casing. haha..

So are you sure those adapter worth that money


I not sure about that. Need to ask my supplier

to me, 8 dba and 17 dba not much difference to me. Haha... Too much bass music to me. My ear cant hear that well. Hehe

Errr..... No... Anyway, I will ask for you

Yup, there was no other position possible.

The back fan is spinning at 42 CFM, it's just a generic cooler master type. I don't think the psu fan is anything special either, very likely it's low rpm. I don't know if the cables can be arranged more neatly, as two ends are pulled a long way below for the gc and hdd but I'll try.

Here's another closer look of the ram slots being overwhelmed lol,



Attached thumbnail(s)

lol..I guess you dont need to worry too much. Even my Zalman Fatal1ty is blocking 2 of my ram slots and i am not able to use them last time..

ASUS A8N-VM CSM


Pls Help me to solve my doubt.

1) How will the NH-U12F install in this ASUS A8N-VM CSM MOBO??

Vertical or horizontal??? Will it block my RAM or Vga Slot??

2) Can I have 2 Noctua NF-S12-1200 & NC-U6 with this ASUS A8N-VM CSM MOBO??

Thx for helping bcoz i found out that the this MOBO is no on the Noctua NH-U12f Compatibility List

I don't know how much is it. Maybe can wait for irangan to ask his supplier...but I think it is not worth lor...

so you getting yourself few more fan too ya... wanna create super silent super cool rig...

The rear fan do not have enough power to suck out the hot air... get something higher, maybe a 60+CFM or 80+CFM or if can get something more than 100CFM will be better, but the noise level will be higher for high CFM... just choose something your can bear with... if you want some suggestion, I would say buy the Silverstone FM-121...have 110CFM+ at full speed, have fan controller which you can adjust the fan speed to meet your noise level...

Added on April 22, 2007, 9:35 pm1) As your mobo is using K8 (939) socket, so no choice, can only install vertical, that is push to PSU... becoz the back plate given only enable you to install vertical... I am sorry for previous user who using K8 socket if I make some mistake in given the wrong info on how the NH-U12F can be install...

You can try to measure the length from middle of the socket screw to th ram slot, if it have more than 63mm, then should be no problem...besides, from the info I get from the FAQ in Noctua website, NH-U12F design to be higher a bit so that it will not crash with ram, but from Polaris experience, it seem will be crash by the fan...

2)Noctua fan should be no problem to install as push & NC-U6 can be install, as for Noctua fan as pull, you need to make sure there will be have about 20mm space between your mobo edge to PSU... or it will crash for sure... if your casing is capalang one, then no hope for fan as pull, if otherwise, then can...

Above statement is just my estimation, you should try to measure it yourself, use the information given in Noctua website to measure it before purchase...

Sorry... May i know NH-U12F be able to fix in my DFI Infinity UltraII-m2??

Thanks

Ouch.. now I'm wondering if the cooler could fit into my TF550...

Looks like the FM122 and FM121 is both selling for rm 60 just like this noctua fan, so which do you recommend?

UGPM...bro Irangan

irangan, ugpm.
