    Noctua NH-U12P SE2 w/ Core i7 860 Temps

    I'm wondering if there's a major problem with the heat transfer (but I can't imagine what) but the pipes at the base of the heatsink are not even warm after running it at full load for 45 minutes (73c). It has complete full contact with the CPU there's absolutely no way it doesn't. I've custom...

    Just cant make up my mind on a cooler!

    I've had some really bad results from my Noctua cooler. See my thread in here. Then again, I have heard from others that they love it. Personally I'm probably going to go over to water cooling after not having a lot of luck with the Noctua.

    Noctua NH-U12P SE2 w/ Core i7 860 Temps

    The heatsink being cool worries me. I know I don't have too much paste on there. I'm very careful and to be honest insanely anal about making sure the proper amount is on there.

    Noctua NH-U12P SE2 w/ Core i7 860 Temps

    I just can't imagine it being lack of airflow in the case. All of the case fans are running perfectly. I have full cable management so there really shouldn't be anything impeding airflow. LittlePud - how did you apply your thermal paste? Like I said earlier, I originally did their...

    Noctua NH-U12P SE2 w/ Core i7 860 Temps

    I'm wondering if I put some different fans on it if it'll make a difference. The Noctua fans on it are rated at 54CFM which is pretty nice.

    Noctua NH-U12P SE2 w/ Core i7 860 Temps

    I originally had only 1 fan and the temps were even higher. I would hit 80c on 100% cpu load. I'm ready to give up on this thing. I'm ready to eat the 20% restocking fee and wait for the H50, I'm pretty sure the Prolima Mega won't fit with all 4 sticks installed (Tridents have a large...

    Noctua NH-U12P SE2 w/ Core i7 860 Temps

    The room is about 78ish. I does get warm in there but not much higher than that

    Noctua NH-U12P SE2 w/ Core i7 860 Temps

    I'm wondering the same. I've not been real happy. I've had one fan on it, both fans, tried air flow in every direction known to man. Yes updated the bios, hooked up a vacuum cleaner to it (ok not really) but I'm baffled. Ready to try the H50 if/when Corsair releases the 1156 mount :confused:

    Noctua NH-U12P SE2 w/ Core i7 860 Temps

    Okay guys I need some input here. Using Prime95, I'm sitting at mid 40's idle and up to 70-75c with 100% load. I'm thinking this is way too hot for this chip (not OC). I would think these are the temps I would get with the standard Intel cooler. Fans are all working and aligned properly (2...
