Overheating problems

[tkin]

While gaming temps are at 65-67

Isn't Tj relative to ambient temps ?

I too plan to buy an aftermarket cooler by the end of this month. How much you are getting Noctua for ?



Toned down for now, will get a good cooler first.

I'm going to buy it from itwares ebay store @ 4k all, itwares has complete monopoly over them, while gaming(crysis) my temps are 75c, thanks to the HT .

Tjmax is maximum junction temp, the cpu shuts down @ that, intel proccys report the distance to tjmax only, by guessing the tjmax(intel do not disclose them) monitoring softwares report proccy temps.

TJmax is not relative to the ambient. It is usually 100C for Intel processors. It can be tweaked on RealTEMP.

Why not this one ?

was reading its' review on Guru3d.


@asingh and tkin
Suggest me a good cooler for 1155 socket

Also, I have high profile Vengeance RAM.

That is a darn good cooler.

Also the NH-D12 is nice.

You sure it will clear the vengeance rams on your board? I have the same board and most coolers won't fit thanks to the vengeance modules, U12P will fit as noctua rep send me an image, but that one might not.

BTW: Push pull works best right?

I'd say U12P, as you have vengeance rams which will block most coolers(v6GT etc), corsair hydro series is nice but if it leaks you are gone, also the best bang for buck is 212+, most 2500k/2600k buyers get this, but since we are in India its better to get more headroom.

yeah, added the high profile RAM in the scenario

Have you checked with Noctua rep about NH C12 P ?

But if i dont intend to OC much and just want to replace the sucky AMD stock cooler that came with my 955 BE, will the Hyper 212+ be a good long term choice? I am getting tired of comparing the noise level of my stock cooler and my 20+ year old ceiling fan... >.<

PS: my cpu idling temps are always 50.. nothing lower.. and under any kind of load, that increases to a minimum of 55 and a max of 65.. 65 is under Orthos..

No, you do that: support@noctua.at they will reply asap, you let me know about it here(ask them for P8P67 cause its same as Z68 but older, so they have info on those).

Have checked about U12P, added a pic here(have to search), want the pic?

Hyper 212+ will serve you well @ stock and mild oc, try to add one more fan to it in push pull, use the special method described here to apply thermal paste to the cooler as its HDT and needs different application techniques.

Those lists are useless, they do not have compatibility between asus Z68 and vengeance combined, here's what notua rep mailed me, its P67 deluxe but ram spacing is same as Z68.

When installing 2 rams, we do it in the second and fourth slot(blue), so no issue here, even if any issue occurs the fans can be raised like this:

As long as the heatsink does not block rams, the cooler will fit, in this case it does not.

After a couple of months the Hyper 212+ will start to look bad, and go kind of corrosive. Noctual plating/quality is stellar.

 

[Souro_Ray]

Thanks a bunch Tkin.. Mario said the same about Hyper 212+.. Anymore thought into cpu coolers and i'm gonna lose my head!

Going for the Hyper 212+ for sure, once i get the necessary moolah for it..

PS: The stock cooler has the fan blowing air ONTO the heatsink or blowing air AWAY from the heatsink? Can anyone help me out with this?

Noctua build quality is just damn good, some guy in a forum said the plastic fans are built like metallic parts.

I believe air is blown towards base from top, but I may be wrong.

Fans are quite good. Naa..not metallic. Have 2x of them on my NHD14. But awesome build. They are quite though. Very.

 

[Faun]

Thanks for the pics, it seems there are not many choices left for coolers to choose from. Mailed the support too.

But I really liked that C shaped design :/

I'm getting the U12P, hope its good, the D14 is a beast for sure.

This just in

Dear Dr. Mukherjee,

thank you for contacting Noctua.

I've attached you an illustration of a Asus P8P67 deluxe with the NH-U12P SE2 installed.
As far as I can tell you will have no troubles fitting the CPU cooler if you are using only two sticks of corsair vengeance memory, but it might be necessary to remove one of the fans if you will like to use all 4 slots.
In my opinion you should be able to move the fan as the coolermaster case is quoted at 190mm width, so if you substract 15mm for the mainboard & standoffs this will leave you 175mm for the CPU cooler, while a NH-U12P SE2 is only 158mm high.

All our CPU coolers come with a 6 year warranty, which covers all sorts of manufacturing errors.

Please take a look at our retailer list over here: *www.noctua.at/main.php?show=bezugsquellen&lng=en

Kind regards,
Alexander Dyszewski

I am going Noctua U12P SE2 !

The P8P67 image that tkin put up is what they sent me....

Imho its blowing air onto the heatsink

With everything out of stock and the TX3 not an option, i guess Hyper 212+ is all thats available to us...

Wish the price was a bit lower though... that price would have justified if they sold it with 2 fans...

This is just my opinion.. Everyone is free to argue with me..

Yes, tx3 is cr@p, hyper 212+ comes with one fan, a similar specced(but has LED) PWM 4 pin blademaster(xtraflow) fan can be bought @ 600/-(I'll post pics when I receive mine), so the price of the package becomes 2.5k, its same is N620 and provides comparable if not better cooling, if someone's budget is less than 3k, get the 212+ or the N620, upto 5k get the U12PSE2 or TRUE, above that get the D14(if it fits), do not buy cm V6GT or V10 and avoid corsair H coolers due to possibility of leaking.

 

[Souro_Ray]

N620 has vanished pretty much... Unless a miracle or maybe extra stock can bring it back..
