Noctua's NH-U12F CPU cooler is a high-performance heatsink that uses eight heatpipes to get the heat off your processor. The included fan is of the 120 mm variant and is fairly quiet. If you need to reduce the fan noise even more you can use the included Ultra Low Noise Adapter which makes the fan almost inaudible.

this is much cheaper than that tec cpu cooler and probably works better after reading this review i might just have to get one as my arctic cooler isnt keeping my temps where i want them

btw there is a typo i think on the 2400/1.6v chart the scythe infinity has load on there twice

Click to expand...

I have seen a comparison on these two.
It seems that the Thermalright Ultra 120 does better if you have a 120mm fan on it.
But if you dont then obv. the Noctua does better.

The 2 top air coolers are currently the Thermalright Ultra 120 and the Tuniq Tower(of course with one or two 120mm fan(s) on them)
