I'm not sure which Noctua would be best. I will have to hit www.silentpcreview again and see what the differance is in CFM between the 2. It may be something that needs to be determined in in your case. You would certainly be safe with ordering the higher speed Noctua and using it for either the CPU fan or the case intake. That way if you needed more airflow more you could move the Tricool to the CPU cooler. Also let me double check with Vocal VooDoo and make sure he's running the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme in the 180.

Previously I had a Scythe Ninja REV2 which was quiet as hell, but didn't cool quite as well as the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme. It did keep my B2 stepping Q6600 within safe operating ranges though. But overclocking the CPU would heat things up pretty bad. The Thermalright seems to work better under the duress of OCing. |

Re: My Build and Questions
I see Josh stopped in I talked to him earlier and I got the inpression he would recommend the Scyth Ninja (RevB?) first over the Ultra 120 Extreme. I'm not sure that flipping the cooler 180 degrees is going to make much of a differance... No matter what way the coolers positioned its going to be X amount of weight hanging off 4 tiny screws. Unless your over clocking the Ninja's should be fine plus you should be getting the cooler running G0 stepping series processer at this point in time. As far as the sag goes the only thing that's going to cure that would be laying it down like a rack case.
Newegg has apparently discontinued the Ninja Cooler. You can find it here A review of 120mm fans and another here. Heres a review on the Antec 182P case The Ultra 120 Extreme cleared all of the stuff on my Mobo (heatsinks, caps etc), so does the Zalman CXPNS 9700. I can't say for sure that the Ninja will fit since I haven't tried one. It probably will and In a month or so I will probably try one. Also the last 25-30% of my rack case is made out of perforated steel and any CPU fan noise comes right out the top of the case. With the Antec being enclosed I'm willing to bet that you would find the Zalman to be very quiet.

Asumimg the build goes well I will add the case, cooler e and the fans to the Spec page as optional components. Drop me a email if you needs help with the build. Last thing pick up a tube of Arctic Silver thermal paste for the heat sink.

Re: My Build and Questions
Well, I'd probably but the Thermaltake again because I'm an overclock dork and can't stop. But for normal CPU clocking, I'd probably not get it again. Especially with the new G0 stepping as Sun mentioned. My Q6600 seems to run pretty hot though because it is a B2 stepping version.
The fans I'm running now are the Scythe NMB fans on both the back and top of the case and one of the 3 way switch fans that came with the case on the heatsink itself. When recording, I'll clock the case fans down with speedfan and switch the CPU fan to the lowest setting. I rarely use it anymore, but if you want specific temps, let me know and I'll fire it up. I will say this, I was much happier with my e6600. Ran much cooler, and I only ran the fan that came with the Ninja, no case fans, and things stayed more than cool enough. I could hardly hear the fan running. |
