Looks like another quality product from Noctua. Thanks for the review. How do you think it would fair with a 775 chipset? Are those hotter or cooler than an i3?

 

[tinytomlogan]

Id say its hotter but really depends on your clocks and vcore fella. The i3's are 32nm so run a good chunk cooler.

 

[Steve-O-]

Ok cool. I was just wondering because at the same vcore as an i7 920 or even a little higher I was running cooler with the NH-D14 with a Q6700. Maybe case airflow? Sorry if this is off topic. Just trying to judge performance on this new cooler based on my results with another. If that's even valid .

[tinytomlogan]

Its in the server now. The other day the fan cable had pulled out after moving some bits about. The CPU fan hadnt started yet the i3 stayed below 50c! There was other fans keeping the air moving but for the right cpu / clock this cooler is pukka!

 

[Goran]
