Noctua NC-U6 Dual Heatpipe Northbridge Cooler

yeah. but i read somewhere if u have a set of long nose pliers u can grip the pins then turn and pull slowly and they will come off no problem... but i couldnt find my long nosed pliers..
 
Ah right, I'm going to be fitting mine next week but I think I'm going to remove my CPU cooler anyway cause at its current orientation it isn't going to fit I don't think! Blue heatsink is my NB!

id leave the cpu fan where it is... will pass air through the nb cooler as u can fit it in any direction mines on an X shpe over the nb
 
Very nice Paul_64, cheers for the pic, may have to consider that now then, as always nice to have a slightly cooler NB.

Just need money now.
 
just thought id post this pic...

I have a similar setup with my Ultra-120/HR-05, 80mm fires through the HR-05, then the 120mm fires through the Ultra-120. Tried it the other way around, but the NB didnt like the hot air comming from the CPU HSF much, dropped my temps a bit doing it this way around.

Deed to get some pics up, i reversed the back and top fans on my PC-A10, so the back fan fires cool air into the Ultra-120, the fan on the lutra-120 fires the air up to the exhust fan, which pushes it out of the case.

All are Sharkoon 2000's, 80mm and 120mm, noisy on stock volts, but with my Zalman fan controler they are dead quiet when undervolted. Got my extra bay mounted 120mm and the rear blower attatched to the 12V/5V/OFF switches, though i cant actualy hear any diff with my rig between 5V and off.

You have your U120 facing same as mine? or is it vertical? I think I'm going to get the Noctua positioned vertical and slap another fan on that other side of it to push the air out into the rear case fan. It should also allow me to fit that U6 in there.
 
just so u all know the nb chip is not paralel with the cpu.. its on a diagnal hence my cooler been the way it is
 
For anyone who has fitted one of these coolers (or similar ie, Thermalright HR-05) have you noticed an improvement with your cpu overclocks?
 
my RD600 has quite a hot NB, due to badly applied stock TIM, and a reportedly warped NB HS. So i replaced it, and it runs nice and cool, normaly about 50C odd, and thats with noticable voltage increase (running at FSB 450, so i need a bit of a boost).

Ultra-120 it facing up, except instead of a PSU above it, it has an exhaust fan.
 
3.6.. 3.8 is 3 hours orthos stable but then it crashes so more playing yet... also my pci -e is 125 (dunno if that makes a diffrence to stabilty tbh)
