ic, where is your location? maybe pos office at my area nobody working, no one call me de...or maybe the item haven reach my area yet...

ic...haha...you didn't measure the size before purchase? or you shock by the size when see the actual thing...?

Help irangan to promote a bit lor so that the 2nd bulk can move on then you can get it fast...hehe...

Received my NH-12F and NC-U6 this afternoon. Finally, just finish install at around 11.15pm...

See my result here. This is before AS5 sink in...

The NH-12F is huge but when I take it, I can't imagine that it is not that heavy...

Thanks irangan for such nice cooler...anyway, the temp I get now not very impresive me...I will wait for AS5 to sink...not sure is my casing air flow problem or not...54C Idle... 56-57C while emule downloading movie... but at least not like Intel stock cooler will jump to 65C above when emule do it job...

Yalor...the temp is very high...I am not sure whether the contact got problem...maybe I will check it again when I free...so tired came back home from work...then installing all the hardware again after taking out...and do some cable management, but my casing too small, not much space...and I found that not much air go thru the NH-12F, but it tendang back to the PSU area...wonder why...if I have camera i can take photo and ask for help...but too bad..I dun have one...

Edited to add: I just measure again my stock NB cooler high with NH-12F, it will fix very well if I put NH-12F orientation B, then I will have no problem with the cap, then the NH-12F can be more center...like that maybe can solve the high temp problem...hopefully...will try when free...

huhu...can earn extra RM20 from that....even if minus postage RM10 also will earn RM10...nice idea there...

anyway, RM50 for the the fan is very cheap liao...if buy the fan alone from retail, adding the shipping fee should be more than RM70++ liao...

sorry...sorry...yeah...win win situation...

@espidiyana
Accept PowerSlide offer lar...RM50 is very cheap liao for the fan and you save a lot trouble to buy the fan yourself...

btw...then fan cable is well sleeved in black...quite nice...

Edited to add: Just found that espidiyana already order NH-12F...so you wanna make it dual fan...

The screwdriver is very useful, can use for the NC-U6 too...and it is L shape, so more easy to tighten...

But the fan is white color...easy dirty and will leave stain and scratch when clean it as I read somewhere in the forum...

For me I dun mind too...but for those people who want bling bling and want to pimp their PC, that could be a problem...just my 2 cents...

I just reinstall my Noctua NH-12F & NC-U6...now NH-12F install in orientation B (180 degree)...there are some improvement in the temp...now idle at 44-47C while emuling...

Please visit here for the result...

The NC-U6 is very flexible...before that think of changing back to stock cooler as there will be clearance problem if install NH-12F in 180 degree...but just now I try to re-arrange it...and tada...the problem solve...

Did anyone try it? I straight away using the AS5, so I not sure how the given thermal paste working...

that is a bad news...btw...hey, who say you're not a good bulker...you are great bulker...you bear the transport fee and tax fee for us until yourself loss and not making money...I feel very paiseh with this ler...

Blame to the stupid custom, causing irangan to loss money aka cause irangan not to do bulk anymore... when will those custom officer start to learn more about computer thing, always simply charge tax like that...

ic. anyway, from your experience, I also learn something...actually before that I also thinking of do bulk, but now I know that there are so hassle to do bulk as need to deal with custom... I need to learn more about custom thing first and need to have time too if wanna do bulk...

Glad to hear that there will be a bulk on March...wish you all the best for your 2nd bulk and your 3rd bulk...

Wow, how come the heatsink so long...is it SB & NB together there? If there is two chip set under the heatsink, then I think NC-06 is not an option for you as NC-06 base will not able to cover two chipset...Have you measure the length between the two hole? If I not mistake, the total length of the push-pin mounting bracket can reach is around 90mm, if the mounting hole lenth is between that, then maybe can lor but with the condition it is only 1 chipset there...anyway, this is just my guess, I am not too sure about it...try measure it first...

If I not mistake, you have ask which HSF can fit in your mobo in Cooling and Hard-modding there right? If you dun want to remove the ram cooler, I think you can take the NH-12, that is without fan one... NH-12F will not fit either vertical or horizontal but NH-12 will fit if fix it horizontal, that is, the fin face to the rear...hope you can understand what I say... PC standing is ok. The warranty is for the fan, not the heatsink.

Hope this help.

Thanks for your praise... no lar, not pro lar...just try to measure it using ruler and from the spec given only lar...I also not sure whether what I tell is correct or not, just hope can help lor...



Ya, better double confirm than buying the wrong thing... if you dun want to remove the RAM cooler, then the only option is NH-12, of course the temp will be higher, but if your case have great air flow, there will be no problem, only few C higher I think...if you remove the RAM cooler, then you need to measure the length too...you try to measure from the center of the mounting hole till the first ram slot near to CPU, if more than 60mm, then I think is fit lor...

anyway, you might want to see what others will say about it as I might wrong...

You are welcome...forum is to share and help people mah...

@PowerSlide

Your mobo is this?



If yes, then it should be able to fit in 90 degree lor... have enough space... and the NC-U6 also will be fit nicely there as it can rotate 120 degree...

You can try to measure it from the middle of the hole, that is the center there where screw residue (hope you understand what I mean ), the width is 126mm, so half of it is 63mm...I think gc there should be ok, but ram there will not fit unless you sacrifice the orange ram slot...will you? but I not sure whether from center to ram there will be less or more than 63mm lar...try figure it out...

I would like to take photo too, but unfortunately I do not have any old camera, digital camera, handphone camera... but evenif I have camera, I am shy to show it too as my casing inside got many cacing going around...already try my very best to arrange, but still got cacing...sigh...

The spec for NH-12F:

Height (without fan) = 155 mm
Width (without fan) = 126 mm
Depth (without fan) = 70 mm
Height (with fan) = 155 mm
Width (with fan) = 126 mm
Depth (with fan) = 95 mm

As you can see, the depth is 70mm, so half of it is 35mm, adding the fan to it, it will be 60mm, which mean 45mm from ram cooler to middle HS is not enough... unless you put the fan at the other side...you write there from back fan to HS is only 2.5cm, are you sure? from the photo it seem to have at least 50mm...so put the fan at here to pull the hot air still consider ok...

HS center to PSU = 40mm (AMD HS) + 35mm = 75mm
HS center to NB HS = 40mm (AMD HS) + 30mm = 70mm
so, the HS (NH-12F) is fit nicely

The height from mobo to side panel have 155mm is same as the height of the HS, but you need to consider the height of the proc socket too...I just measure from my top HS to the mobo, more than 155mm, around 160mm or more...

So, the conclusion is everything seem fit, only the height from mobo to side panel will be the problem... you might want to measure again whether your mobo to side panel height can fit...if you want to put the fan to push the air, then you need to remove the ram cooler, or finely adjust it until fit which I think is impossible...

Hope this help... anyway, above statement is just my estimation, the actual situation might not be the same...just take it as reference lar...
