Heatsink for Intel Core i7 3770

[Fassou]

Valid for all 3 and 4 pin fan connectors, which allow regulation by BIOS.

Salu2!

Thanks again Fassou. I was not able to find the information in question.

Best regards.

@Obione:

It can also be voltage-controlled, most boards allow it on CPU_Fan and if it doesn't allow it, you always have the System fans regulated with SpeedFan.

If you want silence, go for a Hyper 412S.

I have a problem with this cooler Obione. I like it but I don't know if it fits in a CM Silencio 450. I think not, but I'm not sure.

Regards.

Tranqui, sí que cabe.

Well, PC Componentes just got back to me and they say no… enough is enough.

Do I insist?

Regards.

On the other hand, I found this Noctua with PWM control:
Noctua.at - sound-optimised premium components "Designed in Austria"!

Do you think it will be worth it?

Best regards.

I thought it would fit because I've seen some 12cm fans installed, but now that I see this review, things are very tight:

2mm difference between the Noctua and the CM. I think it fits, but maybe it touches the lid.

I thought it would fit because I've seen some 120mm dissipators mounted, but now that I see this review, things are very tight:

To be honest, I don't know. Maybe it touches the lid.

Well, I have 2 options then, out of everything I've looked at, either the Noctua L12 with a flat profile and PWM that I linked before, or the Noctua C12P SE14 with a flat profile as well but without PWM.

Which one of the two would you go for?

Regards.

[Obione]

None. If the Noctua 158 fits, I would look into the 212 EVO which is 159 VS the 160 of the 412S. Before those Noctua, I would go for a cheap RL kit that costs the same.

Editing: The Mugen 3 is as tall as the Noctua and is quite good in terms of performance/price. In terms of silence/price and without needing to adjust, the 412S with the voltage reducer is very good.

In this review they put an Enermax 160:

Have you already bought the tower or are you still in time to choose a wider one?.
With a slightly wider one you could put very interesting heatsinks without any problems.

Grandísima respuesta Obione.

Muchas gracias.
