Will thr NH-D14 fit roght out of the box or do i need anything else?
NH-D14 SE2011 has everything you would need.
You're welcome .Thanks Tony!R
Are you going to un-lid the processor, or leave the heatspreader on?
Doesn't change my question, this is [H] after all? Ivy-e uses fluxless solder. No need to de-lid.
That being the case, heatsinks using exposed heatpipe bases are also usable.No delidding here! Im a noob at that sort of thing and it looks like i wont need to.
Noctua NH-D14.
For better performance, use a fan on each tower blowing towards the center of the tower.
This will drop the temps by a few degrees over having the 120mm on one tower and the 140mm in the middle.
Eh, you CAN'T delid IVY-E, if you try you will kill the chip.Doesn't change my question, this is [H] after all
It's slightly cooler and slightly more quiet.what about the silver arrow, how does that compare to the noctua ?
Not true. People said the same thing about Sandybridge (which is also soldered together)Eh, you CAN'T delid IVY-E, if you try you will kill the chip.
What would the purpose of that be?Not true. People said the same thing about Sandybridge (which is also soldered together)
Turn out, it's not all that difficult, it's just time consuming. You can sand straight through the heat-spreader to expose the core safely.
You still have to use thermal paste somewhere. Removing additional layers generally doesn't hurt.What would the purpose of that be?
Fluxless solder transfer heat better than any thermal paste in the world.

If you're using a soldered IHS you end up with:
Core > solder > copper plate > thermal paste > copper plate > solder > heatpipes.
If you delid, you cut that down to:
Core > thermal paste > copper plate > solder > heatpipes
Assuming your heatsink doesn't have any issues dealing with the smaller surface area (exposed heatpipe coolers, as an example), should result in some small gains.
From what I understand you put the lid back on after you scrape ooff the crap TIM
