yeah believe me, i was like this :twitch:

at first i put it at 1.3v just for fun cause i thought THAT was low!

then i downed it to 1.275 and it was stable with wankermark, 3dmark 06 and prime 95 for an hour
then i tried the 1.250 v for fun with same testing and the thing was stable :respect::respect:

i just love that setup, i think he got himself one of the better 920's

After:


Right now I'm seeing a 10C improvement. After the AS setups up, it looks like its heading toward 15C. I'm extremely happy with the D14.

1240g according to Noctua.

To tell you the truth, yes I could tell the difference between the V2 and D14, but it wasn't enough that I would get concerned about those who are concerned about board bending etc. If I were using it in a lan case, I wouldn't move it installed. The nice thing is that it's very easy to remove while keeping the bracket securely in place and could be quickly reinstalled.

Construction wise, there is a huge difference between the two. The V2 heatsink plates always seemed like thin tin plates to me. I could move the fins with the push of the finger on them. The D14 is different. It's fins felt solid and no concern came to me to make sure I don't bend them to close off an airflow path, unlike the V2. Add that with the quality of packaging it showed up in and with left me with only the impression that I bought a Ferrari to replace my Kia. It was really night and day difference. I can understand now why some people are fans of Noctua. Their quality isn't just focused on their product, but also the presentation of it as you take it out of the package and sort the parts. Very well labeled and very good instructions for installation. There is even a booklet that holds the two different instruction pamphlets for AMD and Intel processors.

Just switched the front fan to the rear and it is pulling air. Thought it might work better that way as I had to remove my top 120mm fan to fit this thing in my case!!!

I find that it is mediocre at best. I have two other i7 920's one with a Noctua NH-D14 and one with a Apogee GTZ water block. The V8 is about 10 C higher than the D14 and GTZ. However it is keeping the Rampage II Gene set-up running at 62 C and under @ 3.GHz 100% WCG~
But that is on the Tech Station with cool Alaskan air blowing over it:)

The Noctua NH-D14 is the true beast:
