Tkin, I will dig up my NHD14 review. You can update it on the link...! I think it got purged from TDF. Will copy it over from TE. Hope that will help. It has detailed stuff about RAM deltas to the fans.

Will be moving to 25mm width fans and back to dual channel later.

PS: You need to buy fan and 1156 (compatible with 1155) socket bracket separately for it.

N620, if you can find it, very vfm cooler, I would've bought it if it was available at 2.5k(the actual market price)

Guys Should I use the spreading by hand method for Artcic Silver Matrix ??? Or Rice grain method is ok ???
Reason I think I`m getting Higher temps is maybe the TIM didn`t spread well ...
Is it a possibility ???

Rice grain method is what I use and it's proved to be very good so far ;-)
