there's one better than the d15 tho, IIRC it's a thermalright one that's basically the same thing but with extremely loud and fast fans
Michael Collins
>extremely loud and fast fans
Then it's worse as far as I care.
Cameron Roberts
just bought thise one for my setup
didnt know these existed like 2 years ago
Carson Hill
Just got one of these and my idle temps are ambient, load temp is about 30 C higher
Luis Gutierrez
Enermax Liqtech TR4 is the only reasonable choice for SP3r2
Jackson Harris
*bends your skylake cpu*
Ian Campbell
noctua really should make a d15 for TR4
Grayson Long
Didn't they though? With a larger baseplate?
Parker Jenkins
I hate those chocolate shitstain fans
John Robinson
I returned that piece of shit because the revision with LGA2066 supported backplate wouldn't line up on my 990FX board.

MasterAir Pro is better now m8
Jordan Price
what the fuck
Evan Russell
Why get a noctua any more when you can get a non-poo coloured cpu with exact performance and for cheaper?
Adam Price
What the fuck? you'd burn out the VRM on that board with anything that needs that.

What happened to these manufacturers?

I own a 212 evo and it's not as great as everyone says, might as well be as good as a stock cooler, it's dissapointing to see so many people fall for this meme aswell, i recommend upgrading to a way better cooler ASAP wether it be a AIO , be quiet cooler, custom loop, noctua, don't skimp on the cooler, if your gonna buy one then get a good one, otherwise stick with stock (i have a 4790k and get around maybe 40c , but that's with expensive thermal paste i got from a friend)
Connor Wilson
Why spend more? This is my 212 EVO while encoding a video.
>barely hits 60C
>fan still at idle
Colton Turner
Better than the 212 and in the same price class
Angel Rodriguez
Scythe kotetsu have better performance and about the same price.
Austin Harris
ah the V10 meme back then. 200W of TEC power
Benjamin Davis
The non-slim version obviously
Austin Perry
After the last thread went window shopping and there is a new kid on the block price to performance wise, pic related. Not buying tho my shitbox's hottest core temp running P95 is 78c. Logical justification is the most difficult problem with computer hardware.
Charles Collins
NH-D15 is dual tower. NH-U14S TR4-SP3 is a single tower design and putting another fan on it won't help much. It runs 12c hotter than Enermax Liqtech TR4 360
Sebastian Butler
NH-D14 is quieter
Leo Smith

I have to agree, the 212 is p good fambly
Juan Parker
Why is your fan at 750RPM at idle temps?
And why the heck is your CPU at 1.33V?
David Rivera
At that price they're expecting user to populate with fans from his extensive personal collection. Get one 2$ fan plus handwaving by sellers.
Jason Wright
>@100% fan
Why do sites do this? It's a rather useless measure.
Eli Green
Despite the memes, FD R5's have good sound reduction. I don't notice the fans. Regarding voltage, EZ OC just does it like that I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Zachary Jenkins
Your CPU fan shouldn't be 750RPM at idle.
And the i5 6600k will normally turbo to 3.9GHz, so it doesn't even look like you're OC'd.
Mason Harris
212 kepps my [email protected] going for 7 years
Liam Ward
In the fan settings in the uefi I've set the speed higher than default for all temps. However if it shouldn't be at 750 at idle then what should it be, and why?
Luke Evans
It's a good metric to use here because threadrippers throttle at 83c, which means with an ambient temp of 24c, an NH-U14 will get you throttled at peak load even if the fan is spinning at fastest speed.
Kevin Nguyen
By what logic
Adam Gray
Not him but my case fans sit at 700rpm at idle. They don't need to spin much when not under CPU or GPU load, so may as well have them near silent.
My CPU spins at 900 at idle
Aiden Martinez
Yeah I'm right there with you, which is why I am confused why idling at 750RPM is bad or abnormal.

This is impossible

Wait, never mind, I read the axes wrong.

You're thinking of the Le Grand Macho m8

What the fuck are you on about?
Logan Jenkins
>delta increases vertically all around 38dB
I don't think that's right
Isaiah Martin
>no hyper 212
>no pure rock
What the fuck kind of comparison is this? And why doesn't it include any of the most popular coolers?
Jacob Cooper
Ambient is 37dB so that's when the fans would be at idle.
Landon Lopez
I forgot ambient noise existed, please ignore me
Adam Butler
>212
That cooler is a joke. It's small and the shitty cooler master fan is, like everything from them, noisy. Don't know why they insist on using pure garbage fans on everything be it cases or coolers.
Be Quiet's coolers are amazing for the price, the huge 150W TDP rated Pure Rock combined with a 65W TDP CPU is absolutely silent even if you stress the CPU for hours. I honestly hate those flimsy metal clips they use to fasten the fan, though.

And here's a 212 EVO doing the same thing on an undervolted 95W one:
Xavier Reyes
Because the be quiet is super hard to install while the motherboard is in my case.
Jordan Russell
Also I replaced my Be quiet dark rock 3 with the Noctua nh-15s, so much better temps, much easier to install.
Cooper Hill
you're not overclocking.
Mason Wood
no, it was the Silver Arrow IB-E Extreme

Path? That, my dear, blocks ram, gpu, airflow, and your case from closing.
