Wow..you guys are lucky.I might have skip work just to take that fan..lol..jz joking.Any nice review of those fans before i get my hands on them?Really THAT silent?

Edited: irangan, just to inform you that i had received my fans already. Apparently, pos laju was really efficient and they make a 2nd send this evening and i got it.Will test it out during the weekends and let you know the result..Thanks..Anyway, please do clarify with me whether my interbank transfer had passed ok.

i ans for bro irangan

yes it include extra thermal paste

He went for business trip la.... Ya, the NH-U12 does come with extra thermal paste.

Hey, irangan. I've got my NH-U12F!!!

Thx a lot for bringing it in. Fan is excellent! Now on to core temp test......

Haha..
Thanks emilz and kmarc..
Bought myself 2 120mm fans liao.
Now it's time for a heatsink for my rig..
Hahahaha..
come back faster la....irangan...

irangan, jst gt my stuff tis pm. great packagin... of coz great content as wel.

Luckily I go to Pos Office to check it out, if not the Posman will only send to me tomorrow...

Yeah, the fan is very silent, especially when using the push screws... no vibration at all... can only hear the huming sound when I put my ear really near to it... not done review on it... dunno how to... but I have thinking to try several combination after getting my cdrom bay acrylic fan holder from Bombman... wanna know how does the air flow affect the temp inside... will update here if I get any result...

Just curious, look at the picture below, there is such a nice space below all the fins. And the base is flat.

Do you think sticking another heatsink down there will improve cooling? You know, let's say we stick a chipset heatsink or heatsink fan.......

Attached thumbnail(s)

I think it might...but i also think the effect is insignificant. I tried it on my G-power bl once, and i dont see any difference. Just my opinion

The day finally come....gonna go home and assemble my noctua today...wohoooo...can't wait...

But some of the top end HSF do have a large heat sink attached to the base. Surely it would have an effect. Anybody else tried this?

Eh? How come you haven't received you Noctua?

No..no...i have received mine, just haven't assemble it yet. Working days...12hours of work, go home sleep only . Never got a chance to put it in. Today my off day starts, after i finish in 1 and half our more, gonna go pick up my AS5 from zamree7 at serdang. Go home and start my project...bwahahaha

About that heatsink thing, i see your point. my nt06 also got a small heatsink at that spot. But from my experiment on my g-power, i didn't see any effect. Maybe i didn't put it correctly. Maybe soon i'll try it on my NH-U12F....

No wonder la you're up so early. Cool, tell me about the results ok? Make sure you test the CPU temp before and after you applied the heat sink ok?

Yeah, I'm the Batman, as well anyman that comes out at night. Sure thing, just wait for my result k. Might take longer than you think...

Just got my hands on the fans..But how does the rubber thing is used for?I cant seem to fit them into the fans..lol..any picture will be perfect..

Just finish "noctuaing" my PC. Damn my back hurts...It worth it i guess. Currently stressing with orthos to compare with my NT06. My fan speed is 1329RPM. Higher than rated, but still sound-less. Will post my result once done.

If compare to TTBTVX, Noctua lose to TTBTVX by around 1-2 degree.

Pro: Silent, great performance at low rpm
Con: More hotter than TTBTVX

The rubber is fitted just inside the outer most fin notch. Look at the manual, it is clearly shown there.

Now orthosing my 4200+ at 2.6 Ghz. In aircon room at 27'c, the core temp is 47/51'c.

If I switch off aircon, will jump up to 52/56'c......

What would you all say is a safe max CPU temp. My TDP max is 65'c, so should I push to almost that temperature or lower e.g. 60 'c.....

The fan use in TTBTVX is Noctua too? If not, the comparison is not fair... should use same fan to see which will give better performance... anyway, that is just my opinion...correct me if I am wrong...

@akachester

In case you mean how to fit it in to the casing, just push it in, then use player to pull it from the other side, then should be in liao... hope you get what I mean...sorry, no photo to show...

Yea i know...I just compare the original noctua and the original TTBTVX

TTBTVX is running at 2000 rpm +-
Noctua is running at 1200 rpm +-

Noctua really impressive

Yeah... very impressive... it is really suitable for silent rig...
