I may want to order both the U12F and U6 too, mate. But one problem rose while I was thinking of the dimensions. If I install the U12F in a position where it is blowing air towards my rear exhaust fan, its fins should already collide with my original Northbridge heatsink on my Asus mobo. The current heatsink is around 2.5 - 3cm height from my mobo, so will it be able to fit under the fins of the U12F?

Also, if so happens that it DOES collide and won't fit, will changing it to the U6 solve the problem? And as I heard but am not sure of, is it true that the new units of the U12F now have the cool Noctua logo on them?

Here's a photo of the situation. The northbridge looks puny from the pic, but it does measure up to 2 - 3cm height from the mobo



Thanks

i think the NH-U12F cooler will fit into your mobo because i already done the calculation. it's about 35mm to 40mm.
155mm (original height) - 120mm (fan height or fins height) + 5 mm (socket height) = approximately 40mm clearance. Do correct me if i'm wrong.

Samanoske Akechi,

the U12F should jus go over ur stock nb cooler if u position the cooler blowing to exchaust..hav high clearance..

put it in a simple way..if the stock asus nb cooler height is not higher than ur ram den no problem at all..even if higher in something like 1 to 5mm it would still clear

judging by the look u wont hav problem at all..the nb cooler is not tall plus campsol2k have give u good measurement

so go ahead n order one now!

edit : aikz good to see ur name already in the list

Okay guys, thanks for the advice. Though, I think my pic may have played some tricks on your eyes Here's a real diagram of my situation now. I measured my northbridge with a ruler already and the height is exactly 3cm. So, can anyone here who already owns the NH-U12F but hasn't assembled it, HELP ME MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE FINS AND THE PART WHICH TOUCHES THE PROC? Please refer below for a better understanding, and HELP ME get a Noctua today!!



The calculations I need are marked as question marks up there ^^^

Thanks to everyone who helps me out

??=3.3cm just enough space.

ur mobo is P5LD2 Deluxe?

if yes sure can..listed as compatible mobo to use U12F

but of course u cant use U6 on ur nb anymore..the U12F will go over ur nb in position blowing to exchaust fan

oops..jus saw in ur siggy ur mobo is P5LD2-SE..i think which is jus the same as the deluxe..the placement of the nb cooler aso similar position..if deluxe is compatible urs should as well

lol.. last time i request the promotions items from noctua.. after 1-2 weeks not even receive confirmation email... so i apply once more... today i got two parcel of them.. great...

Thanks a million for the rapid report, mate Really appreciate the assistance.

Hmm.....well that's both good news and bad news then. Good news, I can finally get myself the U12F with peace of mind. But, at the same time the bad news is northbridge-related. In short.....IT'S ON FIRE!!!

I don't mean to offend irangan's sales here by posting on another brand, please don't misunderstand. Since an NH-U6 wouldn't fit on my mobo around a U12F anymore, I guess I need to find something which won't be in the way of the fins, right? Can anyone here give me some opinions on whether getting a Thermalright HR-05 SLi version will solve this problem?

EDIT : Oh wait, on second thought, it wouldn't hlp much because what I'm actually trying to do for my northbridge now is to turn it into active cooling with a fan. But I already have a graphics card under my northbridge, so even if I DO manage to fit a HR-05 SLi snuggly above the card, I won't be able to add the fan, thus no point going through the hassle

Thanks again, guys.

Dear irangan, if you'd be so kind as to read this , I'd like to make you 1 more order closer to completing this bulk by ordering an NH-U12F Beep me when RM50 deposit time comes up, okay?

Thanks

h5-05 sli gona b a hard fit bro..lack of space on ur mobo..

easier n cheaper way is stick a 40mm fan on it n done..

LOLZ... You are the tauke.. Me just a small trader


Thanks for the promotion

100% no clearance problem. Order with peace at mind

That's the beauty of Noctua. Good customer support.

Ok.. Will add you name Thanks ya.

actually, even is put fan clip one time, also is a big problem...need to adjust it many bit... I change it as that day I want to do the test for the Noctua fan push & pull and the FM-121 push & pull...

if the fins r gonna collide with ur nb heatsink then i suggest u can change the cooler orientation

And let it blow hot air from the bottom directly towards my power supply? Nah, having it blow to the rear exhaust should be the only way for me, since my casing doesn't have a top fan either Thanks anyways

I don't wanna do that as it will make the temp go higher as I use FM-121 at the rear, I think my PSU 120mm fan not strong enough to get rid the hot air out of my casing...

I think he point to me, not you...

by the way, your mobo should have no problem with NH-U12F, the high between fin and base of hs is 27.5mm, so including processor, should be more than 30mm already...but you will not able to put NC-U6 if you put it to push air to rear as the NC-U6 is higher than your mobo stock nb cooler... anyway, good to hear that you already order NH-U12F from irangan...should work very well in your rig...

hi irangan interested in the NC-u6 can it fit into my casing using tt btvx and board using is asus p5n32-e sli plus

Oh I see. You did alot of testing.. SO much work. haha

I dont think that is possible.. Your BTVX will knock on the U6 because of its shape

Ya, I do lot of testing...and I find out something...the Noctua fan will run at 1600rpm++ if I put it on rear casing... now already change back to NH-U12F coz I afraid it will die fast if continue running out of it spec...

can go that fast ar... why is that?
