WOWOWWOWOWOW! incredibl!

? cred ca voi citi acest articol in 3 zile! bravo pt. acest articol!

Impressive stuff, the NH14 seems to be awesome, one thing I dont get is that the True Cu is better with one kind of thermal paste compared to another, and the HUGE difference in temp

Multumesc domnilor

@ M.Beier
Thank you, if you look at Copper paste print(MX-3), the layer is too thick. At that TDP any problems with TIM layer afects temperature very much. Noctua TIM layer is very good (in core area) because of its perfect base and high pressure retention sistem.

Liquid Pro have superhigh thermal conductivity and maximize heat transfer from ihs to base (even in bad conditions such as low pressure or bad base), and the coolers can perform at full potential.

omg! amazing work!keep publishing!

Wow, un studiu demn de o lucrare de doctorat!

prea tare iti multumesc pentru acesc articol

Unbelievable,

This article should be publish in some kind of cooling Bible, men you really take things seriously, no kidding, i need 2 days to read it and 7 to comprehend all the information inside it.
Other “big” magazines around internet should take an example from you !

Jhon is right.
I saw the Thermalright “review” done by Bit-tech and it was nothing else but a disgrace. They wrote 3 pages about it and said it was crap. I didn’t saw info on the test systems, the case that was used for the testing, the methodology of testing. Simply put Bit-tech did an unprofessional job reviewing the cooler. They are doing a very unprofessional job with their case reviews.

Addendum: The Thermalright cooler in the Bit-tech “review” is the Venomous X.

Can we get a professional to translate this to english? This is just awesome!

Paramiro , cand mai faci review-s de genul nu ar fi rau daca ai avea posibilitatea sa bagi si un phenom2 sa testezi pe la 1.55-1.6 v !

Maybe we will get this article translated to English soon

what about arctic cooling extreme?
did you forgot about him?

Jos palaria domnule. Felicitari ! Un articol complet !!

Bravo si Felicitari! Se vede ca esti pasionat de aceste chestii si scrii cu mare drag.

Multumesc

@tonito
Freezer Extreme nu se afla printre coolerele foarte performante deci nu avea ce cauta in acest articol.

@alex
procesoarele amd au probleme majore la raportarea temperaturii si in al doilea rand nu se pot compara cu nehalem in privinta caldurii generate. Unul din motivele pentru care am inclus un Q6600 in test este acela de a observa diferenta dintre TDp-uri (in conditii de overclocking) si a putea trage o concluzie in privinta alrgerii celui mai bun cpu pentru testat coolere.

Pe viitor este posibil sa fac o comparatie intre precesoare, la voltaj fix (1.6v sa zicem,)sa vedem ce caldura genereaza fiecare, dar trebuie instalat si un senzor de temperatura tocmai pentru ca in snzorii procesorului nu putem avea 100% incredere.

multe laude din partea mea. Cand se pune suflet n-are ce iesi, decat ceva bun.

Sincer am crezut ca e ceva eroare pe site cand am vazut numarul de pagini in acest articol . Dar nu e . Problema e ca nu stiu ce sa mai zic Ma pun sa il citesc . Dar intai trebuie sa te felicit pentru munca depusa .

Inca odata felicitari pentru un review deosebit de complex. Bravo man!

Multumesc domnilor, sper sa va fie folositor articolul.

am si eu o intrebare! am o carcasa antec 1200 si memorii kingston ,modelul cu radiator inalt! daca cumpar NOCTUA NH-D14 ce sanse sunt sa nu-l pot monta?

salutare @ il vei putea monta dar trebuie sa pui invers ventilaroarele!

nu stiam de ce nu a mai aparut nici un articol de ceva vreme pe la voi pe site dar acum imi este foarte clar.
am luat si eu prin ian un nh 14 si eram uimit de diferentele de temperatura pe care le posta lumea pe net, 25c cand ambient este 20(I7 920) iar eu nu obtin mai putin de 35 idile nici daca stau in cap dar m-am linistit acum.
felicitari pt un articol deosebit

A quick translation. I was bored at work

Twin tower architecture, a case study:

Noctua NH-D14, Asus Triton 88, Prolimatech Megashadow and Thermalright IFX-14
I’ll begin this article with an euphemism.Things have been pretty stale in the air cooling arena for quite some time now and the newcomers haven’t really managed to shadow the regular performers in this area.In our previous case studies, among other things, we stated that air cooling had possibly reached a hard limit, mainly because the differences between our top performers were minimal at best. So we had to come up with a special methodology, meant to further differentiate the coolers, in order to establish a clear hierarchy that would help our readers make an informed decision, despite the lack of any strong new contenders in this otherwise quiet area.

We have a Megahalems that’s made quite an impression and set itself apart as being one of the most complete cooling solutions available out there, but didn’t really manage to take a decisive lead in the race against other coolers. Its cooling performance under the most extreme conditions (fanless and extreme tdp/cfm) is not really its speciality. We have a very strong performers in the Z600, fanless and low RPM. Unfortunately, once the TPM rises, its performance begins to falter.
We have a True Copper that’s been a dominant force in the “extreme tdp/cfm” ranking, but only in its supermodded state and in circumstances that the average user would find almost impossible to replicate. This makes it the perfect choice for the “excentric” crowd out there. We would love to see a cooler of True Copper’s caliber under more “humane” circumstances and without all the hardships of modding. I don’t think we’re gonna see such a thing in the near future, but I’ve done my job and expressed my wishes.
Then, we have a Mugen 2 that performs admirably both fanless/low rpm and high rpm as well, but could never achieve greatness, mainly due to its shoddy build quality.

I wish I had the time to do the whole article, but that’s kinda like translating a book

Wow, nice work!!! Indeed, it is like translating a book, because it is a book, the holly book of CPU cooler testing

prea tare multumesc din suflet

Super tare! Ar fi bine sa fie mai multi care sa scrie lucruri interesante pe blog, chiar daca postezi mai rar macar sa postezi chestii utile si interesante.. 10x again!

Felicitari, un articol complet, se vede ca te interesezi pana in cele mai mici amanunte si ca te fascineaza subiectul!

Multumesc si eu pentru aprecieri

Amazing. Good. Awesome. Fantastic. Better than any North American review I have ever seen. Google translate is awesome. I will now check your newest review because of this.

eu nu am mai vazut niciodata 64 de pagini despre un post nu stiu de unde puteti scrie atat numai despre un subiect si in limba romana daca era in engleza mai ziceam le mai luati de pe net dar in limba romana e clar ca e scris ce sa mai zic va urez succes incontinuare sper sa realizati un proiec mare.

Bravo. Excelent review,excelent site.

Oau ! Foarte interesant acest articol!
Mi-as dori sa il pot printa pentru a-l citi pe indelete de pe hartie

Artico pe 64 de “biti”
Și câte zac în vitrina aia.. ehee..

Super articol!!
Nu am gasit nici o referinta vis-a-vis de montajul coolerului pe Noctua. Eu le-am montat sa scoata aer dinspre radiator spre exhaust-ul carcasei. Pe default, coolerele sunt montate exact invers. Oare gresesc?

[...] Eu iti recomand Enermax UCMA12 Magma daca nu ai probleme cu zgomotul, am avut si eu 2 in push-pull si aveau performante foarte bune dar zgomot pe masura, daca vrei ceva mai silent ia Noctua NF-P12. Deasemenea daca nu ai probleme cu zgomotul si vrei doar performanta poti sa te uiti pe site-urile externe la San Ace, Delta, etc. Prin articolul acesta gasesti ceva modele de ventilatoare foarte performante dar si zgomotoase: http://lab501.ro/racire/studiu-privi…right-ifx-14/4 [...]
