Woohoo!! i'm so so so chuffed right now!! Noctua NH-U12F just installed on my E6300 and i'm finally getting the temps i want!!!

MY AC7 must have had some kind of error, the pins all clicked in, then when removed only 2 clicked out, so god knows, but out with the old in with the new!!

My previous idle coretemps of 47-53 yesterday (cold day) are now at 32/33 (warmer day) and i'm so so relieved that its nothing more and its all good in the hood!!

Also thre one of my old silentx120's in the kama bay instead of the slooow scythe one!!

Oops, realised i forgot to plug the kama bay silentx in, yay might run even cooler!!

So chuffed, and BIG props to Mishima!!! Thankyou for the review & recommednation mate!!

It was easy actually

I was crapping it about if it'd be easy or not, but was realtively simple & painless

Note to you, its cheaper than WC and almost as quiet and efficient!

And no tubes to leak on your components

lol

Just a couple shots

Fitting the beastie!

Close fit, but its all good!!

The end result!

I've left it on fulll speed straight into the mobo right now, same as the 1200rpm noctuas on the front & back, slightly audible but i'll be prepared to go with the noise as summer's acomin'!!

GreenMint · 6 Apr 2007 at 22:08

Hmm, well i'm just assuming as they were the 1200rpm models and i thought into the board would run them at full!

All i know is temps are good

maybe need something blowing over the mobo a bit more though as the mobo aint getting the most amazing cooling the world has ever seen! hehe

Asus probe reports:

cpu fan: 1451
chassis fan 1318

I have a noctua 1200 front & back of case, noctua on the cooler, and a scythe kama bay in the 5 1/4" slots with a silentx120mm in it

GreenMint · 6 Apr 2007 at 22:57

2 fans, cause i bought 2 single ones for case fans

haven't tried orthos or anything yet, and no OC, i'm just happy to have normal, stock, idle temps for now

System is mainly used for work/dl's/music anyways!

GreenMint · 6 Apr 2007 at 23:20

Just pinged it through 20 mins of orthos, upto a max of 50, but mostly settling around 46-48

GreenMint · 7 Apr 2007 at 01:15

Actually not!

Was to clean the cpu and the AC7

pink tub is nail varnish remover dating back to i think 1980's! But it still has some sting to it!
