I think that we need to teach everyone the dangers of not using the best kit when overclocking and cooling and what better way than to start by teaching children.
Here is a short bedtime story for you to tell your kids and also pass on an important message.
Once upon a time there were three CPU’s and the time came for them to leave home and seek their fortunes.
Before they left, their mother told them "Whatever you do , do it the best that you can because that's the way to get along in the world, find a nice case but watch out for heat as it will kill you.”
The first little cpu cooled himself with the stock fan because it was the easiest thing to do.
The second little cpu cooled himself with the stock fan and added a case fan too. This was a little bit cooler than just the stock fan.
The third little cpu cooled himself with a Noctua NH-D14 and also used a NF-P14, a NF-S12B and some NT-H1, all combined gave him brilliant cooling.
One night the big bad overclocker, who dearly loved maximum performance, came along and saw the first little cpu in his stock cooled case. He said "Let me clock you, Let me clock you, your speed I must multiply!"
"Do not clock me, do not clock me, for I will surely fry" said the little cpu.
But of course the overclocker had to try and the little cpu he did fry.
The overclocker then came to the case cooled by the stock fan and an extra case fan.
"Let me clock you, Let me clock you, your speed I must multiply!"
"Do not clock me, do not clock me, for I will surely fry" said the little cpu.
I have to try please don’t fry your speed I have to multiply. A speed increase “Wahey” he cried, until the cpu fried and died.
The overclocker then came to the third cpu who was cooled by Noctua fans and thermal paste.
"Let me clock you, Let me clock you, your speed I must multiply!"
"Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough!” cried the third cpu.
Well, he clocked and he tweaked and he saw his speeds rise. The temperature stayed low to the clockers surprise.
The cpu stayed cool, he never broke into a sweat, he said to the clocker “Noctua fans are the best you can get. Now enter me in a competition, I will serve you well, you will win all the prizes and your friends you can tell”
Moral of the story- Choose Noctua for ultimate cooling and performance, never use bacon as a fashion accessory!
No matter how good it tastes

same for me, know how you feel
Rune..... I cannot believe you can ACTUALLY sing, well done, and once again I apologise for my singing bit in Tiny Tom and Jim and more I was trying
May teh best "one win"
afternote, my video did not incluse any dodgy X factor auto tune dubie furkins, and neither did Runes ( I think) .

Lol I don't even know how I'd go about auto tuning my voice. Would love one day to re-write that song better, I just bodge rushed it for the compo. Singing would be better if I didn't have a cold as well. Oh well

Yeah and my singing would be better if I had a cold, mind you I am "The Karaoke limpet" you just can't get me off once I have had a few pints

Why should i win a prise(hopefully a NH-D14) in this Noctua Cooling competition contest?
Because of three reasons:
1.Because i know from where your brand name, "Noctua" cames and i can tell you what it means.
"Noctua" is the latin word for "owl". There also a specie of owl that is actually named "Noctua" : "Athene Noctua- european little owl" . This specie of owls while flying to haunt makes almost no noise, to surprise the pray. It makes less noise than other species of owls .
So this is resembling with Noctua fans which during cooling(working) makes almost no noise.
. And also the fans are very efficient like the owl too.
Also i found i picture of this Noctua owl and i see a resemblence between the colour of Noctua's fans and the colour of the spots on the feathers of the Noctua owl.
2. Because i made a subscription to an IT magazine just because they offered as a gift a Noctua NF-P12 fan. See here the subscription page:
My link.
3. Because on my new sistem i'm using the stock Intel cooler because buying a GTX 460 VGA left me short on money. I will buy a NH-D14 cooler but i will not have enough money to buy it until the end of september. The waiting it's booring because the stock cooler is very noisy ant hot.
At the final, i wish good luck to all participants to the contest and i want to thank you Noctua and OC3D team for this contest! It's pretty rich in prises.

These entries have been so fun to read and watch that I couldn't resist a try, even though I can't win.
Noctua has quite the selection
They have achieved cooling perfection
The D14
Beats all competition on scene
In fact it farts in their general direction.
or
Tom does reviews on OC3D
Noctua provides the samples we see
The D14 had such power
I nearly messed in my trousers
I wish they would give one to me
those or: I wish I could win cuz I've never won anything before

In a nice sunny saturday, my wife sent me to the market. She was about to cook something. In that night i dreamed about having a Noctua cooler. I felt powerfull and strong. I dreamed that on my way home, everybody was looking at me.
Well in that saturday i wanted to buy potateos, salad, onions, i had even a list from my wife with "what to buy". Just before arriving to the market i saw one guy who just bought a NH-D14. I remember it felt good with one of that. I went to him and almost i beat him cause that box...that Noctua was mine. I wanted to have it and to give him all the potateos and onions all around the world for it. He didn`t let go to that box. I punched him, but i didn`t managed to grab that Noctua, i told him how much i want it, that i don`t care what will happen if i go home without vegetables and guess what, he opened the box, he grabbed the cooler and hit me with the empty box in my head and said i could keep only that for now. I lost the money for vegetables in this fight, i`ll go home, i don`t know what will happen` and what i`ll eat but i don`t really care cause maybe next time i can grab that cooler on my way to the market. I have the Noctua box now and i don`t care. All i miss...is that wonderfull cooler...

Well as the competition ends tomorrow, i just wanna wish everyone good luck.
And try not to be too sad when i win (Crossing fingers, praying to god, etc. etc. etc)
No seriously good luck to everyone, there have been some very nice entries and i sadly see too many good entries. Good thing i am not the one who have to choose a winner.

I wanted to add a bit more to my entry, not least because I felt I should put a bit more effort into it and the standard seems quite high from some who have much greater image manipulation skills than myself!
As a total non artist who hasn't drawn a picture since my early school days (and I was bad then!), I thought I'd challenge myself to do something original. So here it is, don't laugh because although I spent a fair amount of time doing it (this was rev 3) I know it's still not great. I found an awesome shot of the NH-D14 on the net so I thought I'd give it a try. Rubbish picture, but I'm sure we all agree it's a damn awesome cooler!
