I just assembled Q6600 + DFI 975X INF 2600K i7 + Z68A-GD80 (B3). This is my new motherboard with all its technologies after not updating my knowledge since 2006. I know nothing about and why DrMosfet sink opinion. However, I realized that the heat pipe and heat sink others (or not) be my problem after just press the "OC Genie" button on my plate. My 2600K i7 can run up to 4.1GHz with the click OC Genie. But then I realized that the action HSF, my processor temperature is 71C when Prime95 was running. In a resting state, its temperature is around 30C with 28-29 ยบ C ambient (non-AC). My box is Enlight (just do not know the series) that has side-flow fan air inlet at the top of Intel HSF file. I have two questions:
- Noctua NH-D14 It fits my motherboard? I'm affraid that the heat sink and heat pipes throughout the process block the installation. Note that vengeance Corsair passive heat sink and height 50 mm.
- What about Noctua NH-U12P? Performance based on a review of overclocker forum only differs by 1-2C above NH-D14.
