Just a heads up!

iPPC fans have the potential to be quite loud! Not like a regular Noctua fan.. unless under 1200 rpm :laugh:

Mine actually get angry when my CPU has the nerve generate heat lol. :respect:

The 2000rpm PWM iPPC Industrial Noctua are brilliant at 750rpm to 1200rpm. Man, send back those 3000rpm crazy "high motor" fans tech brother.

@tabascosauz - told you so. wink ;)

This fan below is "the jam in Noctua's jelly roll." :laugh:

Ive got a case full of the ippc 2000s. Im of the school of thought that its better to have the extra rpms than not
Ive got to admit ive never needed to run them higher than 800rpm.

For daily stuff I could just run them on the "silent" profile which limits them to 2K, and that is totall fine, I could get away with less. But I will randomly run a bench out of the blue so its just easier if I set them to tinnitus mode :D

This is the gem among Noctua's royalty.

Ive been using the same ones in 120,mm for intake/exhaust for years. But I’ve never been concerned about noise just thermals.

They are awesome! I love them. I am trying to imagine 6 more for my case. The little guy revs just over 3K, and the big guy revs to bout 2800. My big Panaflos need to be retired soon, they are stiffening up a bit.. at least my 3 old ones are.. been together since 2006.. makes me sad to say goodbye. They never gave me any trouble.

:cry:


Edit:

What I should replace is my old G15. I see the grammar.. I will just let it be.. as I fight my OCD.

Another delivery arrived! My fittings! Of course they are from Bykski. Fittings are made of Brass.

This soft tube set runs for around $50 and comes in gray, red, black, white, silver, gold and blue. Purchasing them seperately costs a lot. I think I'd be spending $40 just for the 8 fittings alone.

Includes:

2 meter Soft tube
8 Fittings
1 water valve
2 Plugs
1 20mm Extender
1 7.5mm extender
2 90 degree rotary fitting

Exactly what I keep saying.

Mounted on top of the massive NH-P1 this iPPC 2000 can run up to 1200rpm still inaudible with noise-absorption pads at each corner, two silicon grommets at the rear.

I'm only running one, for this build. :)

As a regular user I would have no need for such a setup.. but I am not a regular user :)

Man that is a nice system, absolutely love it. You made the right choice regarding RAM and mobo ;) And man, those RAM timings you're pushing are awesome. Might just go 11th gen + that motherboard and RAM for my Streacom BC1 myself.

Okay. I just checked everything. They gave me the wrong set. I ordered 16mm fitting and tube set but the fittings I got is for 12mm. I already contacted the seller for possible refund or replacement.

It's Samsung B-die. And it's gloriously FAST!

Also, here's a bios you can use for 5066Mhz 17 17 37, not mine, but I'm getting ready to try it out. :)

Thanks for the link, unfortunately I live in The Netherlands so The Egg isn't an option for me, even with that price tag. Might pick 'em up later on (currently 367 euro over here) and I'll just buy the other parts in one go. Those b-die chips are nicely binned, wonder what they can achieve when paired with a nice DICE/LN2 pot. Too bad that it's nearly impossible to get some good pots over here, might need my buddy to mill me one. And thanks for the profile in advance! And I still can't stomach the fact that I let a Tachyon slip through my hands by waiting for the price to drop :mad:

The Tachyons are back on sale, but again, only place I've seen them is Newegg US

Of the (5) Z590 2dimm OC boards, only the Z590 Dark has not launched, EVGA always late to the party. :)

Lucky you, the Tachyon has some great EX OC features :p I haven't had the honor to try any of the boards made by the Gods called TiN and K|NGP|N (TiN sadly left 6-7 months ago) but I might give it a shot. ASRock had/has some nice boards too, might check out the Z590 Formula OC, they made some really solid boards a few years ago. Might wait for a Buildzoid rant to get a better impression. MSI is one to look out for. In my experience their boards recovered really nice from bad overclocks unlike some of the Asus boards though that changes with the generations of X and Y. Anyway, buying one of them is going to take few days of reading.

And to keep things OT: I bought an Apple Watch Series 6 a few days ago and it really made my day at work a bit easier. Just shouting at my wrist while it jots down things for me to remember helps a lot. And the additional health metrics are interesting, it gives you some nice and decently accurate results. I will have to spend a few more days with it to use it to it's full potential though.

Sense we are talking about watches. I want one of these

Watches are like PC hardware in a sense. There's always something better, prettier and more expensive out there. And THIS is one nice watch. I haven't clicked the link, and I don't want to know it's price, I know I can't pay it just by seeing it hahaha. I'll just stick to my pleb watch and the Apple watch.

Decided to replace my 4 year old Corsair Strafe for a Ducky One2 SF in white with Cherry Red as I'm a fan of red key caps.

Really nice keyboard, how are you liking it? And why the reds instead of silvers?

Gotten used to using the ones on my Strafe, they are just right balance for typing and gaming, the key travel is a little nicer than the Strafe and quieter as well which is a bonus since it should have newer key caps.

Anyone on the fence concerning the Noctua brown/beige aesthetic, just wait for these (2) black version components launching later this year.

My favorite Noctua aesthetic - monochrome black! :)


:roll:

a next gen noctu anh-d15 is slated for second quarter 2022... which probably means Fall 2022 and it probably will line up with AM5 socket launch I bet. interesting.

I wish they would do an all white aesthetic instead of black. I really like the clean look of all white heatsink/fans, etc.
