that nordwand looks quite good, i wonder how it performs.

shadowscotland · 18 Sep 2009 at 17:37

First link is broken / no results Ace Modder
And that nb cooler is good as well - some good additions to the shop

Never heard of them but they look interesting.

Are they realated to tuniq? Infact they seem to have design trates from lots of stuff.

Brackish · 18 Sep 2009 at 17:56

Yeah the Norwand does look good!

Is there anything more these companies could do to an air cooler thats new apart from fine tuning them?

gurusan · 18 Sep 2009 at 20:05

Found this on the Nordwand..... I wonder how it would do with a Noctua NF-P12?

Gutted the Nordwand isn't available for 1156.

Ace Modder · 18 Sep 2009 at 22:22

The GFX card cooler looks really beefy.

Slightly odd name though

DavyBoy · 18 Sep 2009 at 22:24

Those HSF's look really good, and they are nicely priced as well.

gurusan · 19 Sep 2009 at 11:33

Found out the Nordwand is also sold as the 3R System BOSS 2 cooler. Performance seems quite good:

Was planning to get a Noctua for my X4 955, but after seeing these and reading the reviews, I think I'll opt for the Nordwand instead when it's released.

Pickett · 24 Sep 2009 at 16:36

Any idea when the Nordwand will be available? Initially it said 22/09/09 but now just pre-order.

Thanks!

Yeah, that is weird... Why would you release a cooler that doesn't support socket 1156 now? :mad:

Helios1234 · 25 Sep 2009 at 01:54

I received one to test and initial results shows the Nordwand being better than the noctua nh-u12p. Tomorrow I'm gonna test it with a pair of Noctua fans. Funnily the mounting bracket is exactly the same as the new Tuniq 120 Extreme.

AMG · 25 Sep 2009 at 03:24

they look nice, I may get the thours hammer next that thing looks stunning, if it will fit i5 :mad:

They will come with 1156 support and those who already bought them can ask for the 1156 kit for free!

AlexTrickle · 28 Sep 2009 at 14:30

If the brocken performs as well for 1156 as it does for 1366 (according to gurusan's graph) there may be a good 1156 air cooler at last - one of the things that was holding me back from ordering a new i5 setup.

Any eta on these, before/after Windows 7?

Ace Modder · 28 Sep 2009 at 23:05

This week they should be here. They are on a lorry somewhere between OcUK and Germany.

zAndy1 · 30 Sep 2009 at 12:29

Am I correct in saying the Norwand is now in stock? And does it come with an 1156 bracket? What's the difference between the Norwand and the Brocken (which does state support for 1156). I'm looking to order an i5 750, some RAM and a cooler today but it's the cooler that I'm stumped on at the moment (currently got an AC Freezer Pro 7 Rev 2 sat in my basket)!

Cheers
Andy
