www.ncix.com Been wanting to do this for a long time. In conclusion if you don’t feel like watching, the NH-D14 performs better, but it’s bulky.

Noctua NH-P14 FLX 140mm Silent Computer Cooling Fan Unboxing & First Look

This fan is silent AND deadly. It’s a 140mm fan that fits into a 120mm mounting spot. That means that you get to spin at even lower RPM than traditional 120mm fans, move a ton of air, and you don’t have to get a new case that supports 140mm fans!

Having a look at Noctua’s brand new CPU cooler. Well, it’s not really brand new, but the fan sitting on top of it is quite new. Basically this new cooler is the old NH-C12P, but now it’s got a 140mm fan!!

Having a quick look at the heatpipe cooler that’s dominating the charts right now. Still getting the hang of my new high def camera, but image quality seems better than the last one.

Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Core i5/i7 CPU Heatpipe Cooler Unboxing

I’m anticipating this will be one of the “must have” Core i5/i7 or LGA1156 (whatever you want to call it) upgrades. This new “special edition 2″ version of the popular NH-U12P includes 2 fans, much like the regular “SE” model, but it includes another important features: LGA775/1156/1366 compatibility. The mounting system is quite clever as you’ll see in the video, and I suspect that Noctua has a winner on their hands.

The world’s ugliest fans have no consistency

I think we can all agree that as far as good quality fan manufacturers go, Noctua is in a league of their own in terms of ugliness. I made a discovery when I was trying to equip a PC with some Noctua fans that I’ve accumulated over the last couple of years though… There are at least 3 different colour schemes for them! All hideous, mind you, but all different.

The crazy thing about this is that I only OWN three Noctua fans. They were purchased at least a few months apart each, but you can clearly see that one has a white frame while the others have beige frames, and one has maroon blades while the other two have brown blades.
