Noctua NH-D14 works great!

Just installed it, cranked my i2600k up to 4.5Ghz, running cooler than the stock cooler did at 3.4! The thing is absolutely MASSIVE but fit no problem on my Gigabyte GA-P67X-UD3-B3 in an Antec Full tower case. Very happy, quiet and cool..

I've actually been thinking of trying one of those out and upgrading my ancient I-7 920 chip but doubt I will at the moment.

I've always been a noctua fan fan, heh, myself and have several in my case from years back that are still running very well.

I think I used to get scoffed at a bit when everyone was pushing Scythes and Loons, nice to see they've become mainstream more or less

And congrats

Thanks Mongrel. If you have room for it I think it's a great product. Thing is the size of half a loaf of bread!!

They do make really good heatsinks, damn ugly looking fan colors though.

Yes, dogcrap brown doesn't do much for me either... Good thing is my Antec case has no side window so once she is buttoned up that's the last I have to see it!

Agreed, Noctua's build quality is stellar
