Noctua NH-U14S was about time

[Espinetenbolas]

I ordered it last week and today this piece of beast arrived which is really cool.

The problem is that I haven't had time to start assembling it because I've been working with the team and well tomorrow I will put my results vs my current Thermalright XP-90C lapped and with a PWM controlled fan that can reach 4800rpm :ugly:

It arrived along with an Arctic Cooling Accelero L2 Plus for my FirePro v4900 :troll:

It's that between the two I have the constant feeling that the tower is about to take off... especially if I'm working.

The thing is that I'm still going with a Phenom II x4 @ 3.6ghz but that will be for a short time :troll:

Aaaahh cheater, what luck you have!

I've been dreaming for a couple of years of having enough money to buy an NH-D14

This summer with luck I'll get it, enjoy it!

Best regards

If you have a wide case and low profile memory, get an HR-02 on Amazon.

That update should be celebrated with 200MHz more in micro ;D

[whoololon]

A good piece of equipment, yes sir. Perfect if you have memories "with a comb" and also it is not noisy for what it relieves the micro. It is an "all-terrain" of the dissipators.
And regarding the NH D14 that Sylver wants… what can I say, it is my little one. It is not a Phanteks but I love it just the same. :ugly:
Besides, I am seeing that they have raised the prices of the Noctua in two or three places... mine came out for 72 € and now it is at 83 €, it is noticeable that summer is approaching.

It's just that it's very good… :love:

Be careful because the same thing has happened with the memory, I remember buying my 8Gb at 40€ G.I. on Hard2Mano like new ones, when in the store they were worth about €50€, now they have skyrocketed to €70 new :facepalm:

@Sylver:

Aaaahh truhán, qué suerte tienes!

Llevo un par de años soñando con tener dinero de sobra para comprar un NH-D14

Era mi primera opción porque sabía que era un buen bicho pero viendo reviews me di cuenta que este tira igual o mejor (según quien lo haya analizado) y es menos aparatoso.

Además todavía no se si me voy a pasar a LGA1156 o a 2011 porque quiero un equipo decente para trabajar ya que mi actual CPU hace cuello de botella con el software de CAD y la gráfica apenas llega al 30-40% de uso mientras muevo modelos muy complejos que van a patadas (bajo FPS) y la CPU está a tope… bueno a tope en un solo núcleo porque Unigraphics no es multitarea :wall:

Lo curioso es que al pasar el SPECviewperf 12 la mayoría de test sí que ponen la GPU a tope pero claro no tienen en cuenta la ejecución del software de CAD ni la cantidad de memoria que este traga.

Por eso no me decido ya que no sé si pillar 32Gb que es el límite del 1156 o salirme por la tangente con 64Gb de RAM para poder ir sobrado... pero claro ahí entramos en problemas de presupuesto y en el hecho de que las placas de LGA2011 tienen el X79 que es un poco viejuno... y entonces entramos en el eterno dilema de la informática de "bueno mejor me espero porque van a sacar..."

@Obione:

Esa actualización hay que celebrarla con 200MHz más en micro ;D

No sé si podrá pillar bien los 3,8Ghz además necesito estabilidad en mi vida

@Whoololon:

Un buen trasto, sí señor. Perfecto si tienes memorias "con peineta" y además no es ruidoso para lo que le alivia al micro. Es un "todo-terreno" de los disipadores.
Y con respecto al NH D14 que quiere Sylver… que queréis que os diga, es mi chiquitín. No es un Phanteks pero lo quiero igual. :ugly:
Aparte, que estoy viendo que han subido los precios de los Noctua en dos o tres sitios... el mío me salió por72 € y ahora va por 83 €, se nota que se acerca el verano.

Yo lo he pillado por 65.95€ porque lo tenían en Coolmod a ese precio pero el disipador para VGA no me lo podían conseguir de modo que lo pedí en Xtremmedia y le indiqué que estaba más barato ahí y como me lo rebajaron me pillé los dos… vamos que un chollo hoyga.

---

Por cierto una pasada de media unos 6º menos en Idle y un deltaT de 8º (CAJA 24º-||-CPU 32º)… OCCT a full la CPU no pasa de los 48º cuando antes creo recordar que se plantaba en los 60º o más.

En cuanto a la VGA también 6º menos en Idle (antes en reposo siempre rondaba los 38-40º) y con el OCCT para GPU una gran diferencia ya que antes llegaba a los 100º y ahora no pasa de 52º... brutal.

Sinceramente lo de la bajada de temperaturas está bien pero lo mejor para mi definitivamente es la reducción de ruido.

Así, y lo que es el NOCTUA muy muy fácil de instalar y unos acabados buenísimos... lo recomiendo.

[Obione]

I got mine for 60€ and the disipadpr on h2m for 50 GI, the Silver Arrow even got up to 60€ new.

Este verano con suerte me haré con él, disfrútalo!

Yo llevo como 1 año con un NH-D14 en el cajón… xD Creo que lo puse a la venta no se si aquí o en h2m y no lo compró nadie. Ahora le faltan 2 gomas de esas para amortiguar el ventilador (de un lado, del otro sí las tienes) y sólo tiene el ventilador central, el otro se lo tengo puesto al Hydro.

Edit: Efectiviwonder, hace 1 año exacto y ya entonces te lo estabas mirando xDDD

@krampak:

I've had an NH-D14 in the drawer for about a year now… xD I think I listed it for sale, I'm not sure if here or on h2m, and no one bought it. Now it's missing 2 of those rubber dampeners for the fan (on one side, you still have them on the other) and it only has the center fan, the other one I have on the Hydro

Without the fan and without the rubber bands, how much are you asking for?… it would be for my brother, as long as it has all the mounts.

The thing is, he had a "Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme Rev.C" which is a beast but it's flawed in that the mounts for AMD are a real piece of junk… consequently the motherboard would bend too much and depending on how I screwed it in, sometimes you'd be browsing and it would hang or it just wouldn't boot or the clamp would break and the board would go back to the previous BIOS :wall:

http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1128-page7.html

In the end, the solution was to put the stock cooler on it and the Thermalright in the case… plus it has a corrosion problem because it was a Black Edition (black chrome) that over time and because of dust+humidity have caused part of the chrome to flake off, which makes it hard to sell (although if anyone is interested :fumeta:).

I'll put up some photos later, although I'm warning you that they might be disturbing to the viewer :ffu:

[Mystique]

You put the photo, we can always have a laugh

[Espinetenbolas]

As you can see, the side that was facing down is perfect, but the other side has the airflow mark not only on the fins but also on the tubes and everywhere where dust was deposited.

And this is after cleaning it a lot and sanding the edge to leave the heatsink half decent.

With all this, do you think anyone would buy it?... it also doesn't have LGA115x and needs an adapter (Thermalright VX Bolt Through Kit II) that costs 12€ + shipping... that would make it compatible with all sockets.

[Mystique]

Man, it's not pretty but when you remove paint the heat exchange is more effective with the material in the air, which the paint always insulates a little

The bad thing is the mounts. It will depend on the sockets that can be used without buying anything extra...

Man the black chrome is not as conductive as raw aluminum but well there is a lot of remilgado.

@Mystique:

It supports with the mounts that come with Intel 1366 / 775 and AM2 / AM2+ / AM3... if not with the universal adapter it is compatible with all current Intel LGA 775/1156/1366/1155/2011/1150 and AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2 sockets
