exactly!
The heatsink or CPU cooler includes high-quality thermal paste as well as mounting hardware for LGA 2011 and 1150 processors. The paste, however, must be applied on top of the processor. If you want to see exactly how it is applied on top of the CPU, there are many videos on YouTube that show you how to do it correctly. To answer your question, if I am not mistaken, it comes in a 50 ml tube.
Who has a spare fan that costs so much? In any case, you are free to use it. For this specific application, an extra bracket is included, as well as some thicker anti-slip material. Rubber pads that vibrate I'd mount the second fan in the same orientation as the first, so that it still pulls air from the right side of your case and pushes it out the left. I'm not a fan of air-flowing fans. Flows that are in opposition to one another. In my case, I make something akin to a wind tunnel. br>By simply adding this second fan to help 'pull' the air through being pushed through by the first noctua nf- You could set both fans to around 900 rpm with the f12 fan. Not that my case, even with just one fan spinning at 900 rpm, isn't cool enough. Is that extra fan an nf-series model? f12 or nf- are both valid options. s12a? I'd set up an nf- Since the nf-, s12a has been a second fan. f12 is designed to push air through congested areas, such as tight spaces. I wouldn't use the thicker rubber spacers provided in the box with the NH-II cpu heat sink, and I wouldn't use the thicker rubber spacers provided in the box with the NH-II cpu heat sink. I would use the thinner rubber spacers on your additional noctua fan instead of the U12S cooler. br>I'm not sure why noctua provides thicker rubber pads for the second optional fan; perhaps they assume you'll use another nf-series fan. I believe the f12 pressure optimized fan requires a little more breathing room because it is designed as a 'pushing' air type fan rather than a pulling air type fan, but I'm not sure. I'm still a fan of the nf- As a second fan, s12a is a good choice. According to some reviews, the cooler's second fan could only provide 1-degree of cooling. Temperatures have improved by 2 degrees Celsius. Run a benchmark with one and then two fans, keeping an eye on your temperatures. If you only see a small improvement like this, I'm not sure I'd waste such a good fan for those 1 or 2 better temps. If you want to use it as an intake fan, you should mount it that way. I sincerely hope that I was of assistance.
I thought about both the NH- and the NH- To keep an i7-based computer cool, use the U12S and the h100i. 4700k @ 4700k 7GHz. On paper, there was an eight-fold difference. Although the temperature was 10 degrees, the water rig cost an additional $40. Whether I'm gaming or doing digital forensic work on my PC, the CPU has never exceeded 40 degrees Celsius. Aside from the ability to say "it's water-related," cooled. "I don't see why I should spend the extra cash." The NH- Even with only one fan, the U12S does an excellent job of cooling and runs quietly.

If you've ever tried to mount a Coolermaster, you know how difficult and frustrating it can be, and how worried you are about whether it's seated properly and whether it's too tight on your CPU. It's also more efficient to work in pairs! This Noctua CPU cooler is the only one you'll ever need, the one I've used on my last three builds, and the only air cooler I'll ever use. If you know anyone who is a fan of Noctua, you know they are nothing short of incredible and engineered to perfection. Every other company in the air CPU cooling market should just get out because this CPU cooler is so well made, easy to install, and works so well! br>br>The bracket and installation are nearly identical to that of a stock Intel CPU fan, but it performs far better and is far quieter. I've used this cooler in two different sizes (NH- and NH-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX U12S) - (NH- U14S), and I can't say enough good things about it. br>br>If you enjoy air cooling as much as I do and want to keep things simple, look no further than the best and easiest-to-install air cooler on the planet.
"This is a lot quieter," I thought at first. " The processor appears to be cooler, but I didn't take any good measurements before changing the CPU cooler. My instinct is that it will be about 15 degrees cooler. What I've noticed is that (1) my computer appears to be faster; and (2) I've noticed that my computer appears to be more responsive. (2) I've noticed that the air coming out of the back of my case feels warmer, which supports my theory that the processor was throttling. These findings suggest that the stock cooler was providing very little cooling and that the processor was simply slowing itself down to avoid becoming too hot. I'm no longer using stock coolers and have switched to Noctua. (It wasn't meant to be a pun, but once I saw it, I couldn't help myself. ) )br>br>Installation was fairly simple, but I'm someone who reads instructions and takes his time; in my case, the backplane was being held on by the old stock cooler, so I had to remove my motherboard from the case. That was the most difficult part. br>br>But one last message before I leave. If you haven't used cooling paste before (and it's included), watch some videos on how to properly apply it; while I was fine, I've heard horror stories from people who used too much paste (and used a conductive kind). After that, things did not go well for their motherboard. So, either watch the videos or ask someone who knows how to apply paste for assistance. br>br>And yes, the pun is intended - Noctua has won me over. (Perhaps we ought to start a club. ) The Noctua Fan Club is a group of people who are passionate about Noctua.
It has been clocked to (4. 5ghz) by those who have worked on it. I also bought the same cooler for my AMD Fx Rig that consists of an Fx 8350 these are very power hungry, very hot CPUs but it clocked at (4. 6ghz) and only gets to 43c under heavy loadbr>I also bought the same cooler for my AMD Fx Rig that consists of an Fx 8350 these are very power hungry, very hot CPUs but it clocked at (4. 6ghz) and only gets to 43c under heavy loadbr 5ghz) keeps it around the 50 to 53c still quite great for an air cooled cooler not to mention that the fan is very quiet until you crank the speed of the fan% What's included in the cooler's package? Well, this set includes a screw driver specifically for the cooler, as well as an AMD and Intel mount, as well as a resistor for the fan header to the cpu fan to make it even quieter, and a metal badge with noctua and an owl face. I've had my cooler for more than a year and have had no problems with it.
