| Owterspace | I didn’t bother milling mine down like I was going to. I did just rotate it and made sure I had enough paste, also when I tested last, 2 out of my 3 exhausts on my R4 were not running. @ stock clocks on my x5690 I am seeing the same temps again as I was seeing with LGMRT. For fifty bucks you really can’t go wrong with this cooler. |

| UnexplodedCow | Yes, I know this. My entire point is that the RPM (and noise) was lower, and using single fan, than dual fans at 100% on the D15. Even without stating the RPM, that it has one less fan, and is not 100% points toward a conclusion. |

It also takes up less room, and the fan clips are far easier to work with. I'll probably clip on a second fan and see how it does. Good heatsink when it makes good contact.

Also note that Noctua has released NT-H2 which has replaced NT-H1. |

  DAMN, the BIGGEST Thermalright Cooler sitting on what looks like, an Asrock X470 iTX Motherboard model (or similar)? NICE one there. You really showed them what this cooler can do for the tiniest motherboard's  .

Be sure you change it back after testing to 'Normal' or 'Below Normal' if you encode while doing other things on computer. Encodes will take longer, but at least computer can be used. |
