Irangan, you got a 100% satisfy buyer here...

Finally got some news on the fan... I have been waiting high and low keep on checking this thread today...untill now finally you post a little info of it... (yeah, you guys...I already got the news earlier before you all...hahaha... )

RM65 is very cheap liao...you can't get this price elsewhere...don't need to think liao...just get it...

no problem...delay a bit never mind, as long as we can get it in bulk 4...

Yeah...just get it for a very very silent pc... I will get 2 for my intake...

Review of NH-U12 & NH-U9 by X-bit Lab

Yeah, you are right...I want 2 units too...irangan...how can you left me out from the list... just joking... I did not post about it again as I did not see any info of the fan in the first page yet, so I thought you haven want to take order for it...

Do we need to make deposit for the fan as well? If yes, please PM me when the deposit needed... Thanks...

According to Noctua website, then 1200rpm Noctua fan is 1.44W whic is using 0.12A...

If you use AS5 or Arctic Silver Ceramique, use the rice grain method is better, but you can apply it the whole IHS too...as for normal ceramique thermal paste, apply it to the whole IHS will be better...as for the thermal paste given by Noctua, I am not sure...

Sure irangan will still be around... what proc you using? I am using Pentium D 820, the Idle temp is around 44C to 48C depend on weather... so your below 44C should be ok de...

ic. No choice lor since your mobo is design like that... maybe put a higher CFM fan at rear there could help a bit...like those FM-121 (have ) or delta fan (if noise not the matter to you...) and getting Noctua fan as intake, should be have better air flow after that...

never mind...haha...how is your new mobo...should be great...

btw...this afternoon I ask uncle ianho whether he still want the Noctua fan...he say now dun want liao coz he getting the Evercool aluminium fan liao wor... from the pc fair... at very cheap price...IIRC is RM30 each...

You mean it is not stable enough while you OC right? or it is not stable no matter OC or not OC...

You can install any fan of your liking...not necessary to install Noctua fan...but Noctua fan will be better as it is quite and have great performance...if you like, you can put those high CFM fan too...but the noise level will be an issue too...

ic...maybe some setting problem...

I think he will as the last few bulk also he order it before the MOQ meet because he don't want us to wait too long... I can only say he is the best bulker I ever meet...

I think there are so many times that people say that don't post the transaction info in the thread for some security reason...just PM him will do, do not need to let all know you have paid, irangan will update it on the buyer list there...

Edited to add: account info in the quote being replace with x for security reason...nearly forget...

of course..the bulk is still on, irangan will order it next week...

@irangan...I will make full payment to you including postage maybe tomorrow or Sunday... postage is RM10 to my location right? btw, I am live in Sungai Mati, Muar, Johor...in case you forget liao... hehe...

I think now nobody want to sell their fan as the fan is so great... the only option now ispay RM65 for the fan...and this is the cheapest price you can get no where but irangan's bulk...

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...

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...

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...

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...
