wevsspot Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I was really happy that Ivi decided to splurge on himself. He was way over due for an upgrade And he is getting a super sweet combo at a fair price. So it has really worked out great for both of us.

bp9801 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Don't hate on the beige man! Pfft, his case hasn't been beige for ages. It is now a shade of blue with no panels of any kind attached. I agree wev, it was high time IVI upgraded and it allowed you to get rid of some items and have more cash for your own upgrades.

IVIYTH0S Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Oh you guiz My 4870x2 isn't leaving until I run out of good DX9-DX10 only games that it can handle haha Certainly never leaving my case, we'll see how the D14 fits (hopefully I get the D14 for $50+Ship, otherwise I'll have to go for the Pro-Megas for $30+Ship, but I'll need to hunt for good fans again and I'm lazy lol) I'll be rocking it stock cooler until I get a fitting cooler for a good price.

No question the NH-D14 is better. But my Megahalems is pretty awesome! Im able to 4.2Ghz on it with 73c on the hottest core... and stable 4.4ghz with like 82 which is too hot for me to run all day, but still fantastic for 4.4Ghz on air. Its benchmark stable at 4.5 which is awesome too, i just wont put it under prime95 to see max temps as im worried what they will look like, haha. If you need fans, i have a pair of Cooler Master R4's that run 90CFM @ 2000rpm that work great on my Megahalems, they arent even that loud!! I think the Cooler Master Sickleflow 69CFM fans would work perfectly, since most of the time i dont run the R4's at 2000 rpm's anyways. So id recommend either of them as a easy/lazy option for ya.

El_Capitan Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 In my experience, having used both the NH-D14 and Megahalems Rev. B with two NF-D12's in push/pull with the same CPU, the difference in CPU temps are minimal during CPU load on an i7 920 d0 at 4.0GHz in Prime95. The Noctua NH-D14 wins by 1C. http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.php?showtopic=180624&st=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
