QX6700 cheap(ish) watercooling?

[charlie-j]

Er... sorry about that canon one It is a good piece and I play it on the piano, I was doing 2 things at once and pasted the wrong thing!

I see the Noctua NF-P12 is very quiet.

I won't be doing any extreme overclocking so thanks soapsupah that looks great so I'll get one of them wether I use water cooling or not.

So looking at what moogle said I think that for the compromise between noise and overclocking, I would be happier with low noise and slightly less overclocking - I just don't want to waste this CPU.

So, taking moogle's advice

Like above, either get a decent watercooling setup or just get some good aircooling.

and the information you have given me in the last few posts, maybe it would be a good idea to get some decent air cooling fans.

I like the idea of watercooling, but only high end systems would be quiet, and then I might have to use external mounting, and end up costing loads more - and might not even be able to overclock that much.

Now that I am probably going to get air cooling - are they any silent but effective fans?

That Noctua U12P thingy (Not exact name) is a CPU cooler that comes with 2 Noctua fans (Very silent fans with decent airflow) and is a high performer.

Here's a link

That would be the best cooler I think and it's only £50 including fans. Check the review.

Please keep in mind that the normal NH-U12P heatsink only comes with one fan. The SE1366 version comes with two. Not really a problem as the sink was tested with its bundled fan but just to save you the disappointment.

Or at least that's what I understood when reading the review

Wow that looks great, very quiet. So I could get a NH-U12P and 1 NF-P12 for the case rear.

Do they do any silent 80mm fans?

 

[monkey7]

I believe the NF-P12's are also available in 80mm size You should take a look at TTL's clearout in the FS section, I believe he has at least one for sale.

Forgot about that. Shame they can't provide one for S775 and the 2 fans.

 

[charlie-j]

Yeah I have 775

sadly they have only 90mm fans, but still pretty silent

"NF-R8 (80mm) x3 new £8 each" In TTL's clearout. Might want to take a look at some reviews, I haven't looked tbh.

ops i take that back, they have 80mm fans like monkey said, thougth they didnt :0wned:

 

[monkey7]

No problem I was wrong too, I thought they had the NH series in 80mm, which it seems they haven't.

 

[tinytomlogan]

Im selling noctua fans in the trade section

 

[charlie-j]

Can you post me a link ^^ ?

I have some case fans now 80mm, cheap but quiet and very effective actually. But I still need some case fans and some 2-3pin connectors
