As for the coolers themselves, the Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler is the winner in our testing. Either in its original single fan configuration or in its new SE1366 dual fan configuration it led the pack and did it quietly. With a little Googling the NH-U12P SE1366 can be found for as little as $63 +shipping. The original NH-U12P can be found for $50+shipping, but you would have to buy or wait for the LGA1366 mount to be sent to you. If you’re upgrading your current rig then I would suggest buying the original and waiting for the bracket, but if you’re building the whole new system then get the SE1366 version.

Legit Bottom Line: The Intel Core i7 CPUs can get very toasty so the need of a quality cooler is a must. The Noctua NH-U12P is just that and will continue to be our King of Cooling.

Newest test with a well picked set of coolers, noctua continues to impress in reviews.

Go Noctua!

Not bad at all but they should have ran it a 4.0ghz as well. That seems to be the goal that most want to reach.

not surprised
idk why nobody will acknowledge the u12p to be better than the TRUE

wow pretty hot.

while i understand that the SE1366 cool sbetter out of the box.. its just eh... most of them are using only one fan except for one other one.

i would've liked to see the comparison of the HSFs with only one fan each and straight out of the box. i don't know.. it just makes more sense to me that way..

I know and agree with you, but those are the excuses most TRUE owners post in these threads to call the review fail and false.

Dude 3 out of the 6 or half of the coolers reviewed came with dual push-pull fans out of the box. the Vigor + the triton + the noctua 1366.

nice to know someone agrees with me

i just don't know why thermalright doesnt make a TRUE with mods pre-done for an even higher price
that would be what i would figure they would do.

and, nice cooler you got there yourself :P
just saw one myself for the first time the other day, i would get one for sure if my 9700 didnt already keep me cool enough on low fan settings :P
