Thermalright TRUE 120... 51 degrees!!??

nVidia chipsets do tend to get hotter, it's normal for them, we can't do much about that.
For the CPU, your motherboard fan header is 4 PIN right? Then you should have in BIOS a setting for the installed fan type, where you can set it to PWM for 4 pins and to DC for 3 pin. See that it is on DC.
Fan controllers should be on Disabled for max speed, or Turbo for quiet when cold, but fast when hot.
If you ran OCCT for a long time now, then temperatures aren't so bad at full load, so to me it seems that the fan is running at a very low speed when in idle, to be silent. Right now, it seems OK to me, you might just have the Noctua that only gets to 600-800rpm? There should be one with 800-1200 rpm. So higher temps then you would get with a 1500-2000 rpm fan should be expected. The actual rpm should be in BIOS and should be accurate.

Humm... I'll have a look tomorrow when it's cooled off. I'll put the fan on max speed on idle.
And yes, I used 3 out of 4 pins on the motherboard but it was running about 1200rpm most of the time because the warning was on 600rpm.
Full load was steady at 60 degrees, I'm just doing to see what it's like in idle.
Thanks for your help, speak tomorrow
