Don't forget the noctua fans. They may be one of the worst fans ever made but the colours are there.

Oh, and the stock case fans are are really freaking loud. I thought my Ultra Kaze was loud, but it turns out that was the case fans making all of the noise. I finally got around to hooking them up to my rheobus and just wow...

The stock Xigmatec fan could just barely keep my e5200 under 60C load at 34GHz, but aside from the engine noise my Ultra Kaze is quieter and keeps my e8400 at 3.75GHz below 50C!

what do you mean the worst fan ever made I enjoy the luxury of having them an their tower cooler and it keeps my Ath x2 6000+ @ 3.4/3.5 at only 52 degrees celcius under full load @ 20 degrees celcius ambient and it's a hotter package than your e8400 and thats at an inaudable 19 Db and the 6000+ 125w and last i heard the e8400 only uses 34w at full load so your saying that this cooler and fan does it at 10 degrees celcius and under 19 Db plus overclocked @ 4Ghz bull , I'm calling your bluff

Umm... with the NH-P12-1300 and my e5200 @ 3.4Ghz/1.34V I idled at 44 and went to 65 load.

The HDT-S1283 has denser fins than the NH-U12P, so its harder to get air through. Everything Noctua says about static pressure is an absolute lie. My slightly less crappy Artic 12 PWM, which doesn't even have side walls has more static pressure.



It may be quiet, but its pathetically weak, by far the weakest fan I've ever used. If it wasn't for the engine buzz I would say that my Ultra Kaze isn't noticeably louder.

Its not such a bad fan, but the fact that they are charging $20 for it is absolutely ridiculous.

and the noctua pushes a mere 54.31CFM compaired to 44 CFM its a quiet fan not a blow me a tornado fan and it has good static preasure
so how do you explain my results using noctua gear a AMD ath x2 6000+ 125w package oc at 3.5 ghz at 52-54 degrees celcius under 100% load not 60% gaming so putting all the evidence together = great performance @ 19 DB

I probably should have gotten it over the 3000. The added static pressure is all I really needed. My 3000 is probably around that range if you factor out the clearly audible engine noise

Also here's a comparison:

E5200 idle temps using the NH-P12-1300:



vs

E8400 load temps (its actually in the range of 49-52) using an Ultra Kaze at a bit less than 7V (can't tell with my rheobus)





Edit: I just turned off my case fans, and it seems like they make a terrible engine noise as well, which I mistook for my Kaze. With the case fans off all I hear is my PSU and if I strain my ears I'll be able to hear the clicking noise from my Kaze. I don't think my computer has ever been this quiet.
