After Market CPU cooler for GA-EX38-DQ6
Hello,
I'm looking for a good quiet CPU heatsink for the above motherboard, I have the Intel E8500 CPU. I have seen some heatsinks such as Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme but they want me to remove the crazy cooling heatpipes to fit it in. Does anyone know of another heatsink that is at least as efficient as the stock Intel one, but is quieter, does not require me to remove anything else from the motherboard, and does not interfere with the memory sockets. Thank You |

Thank You Noctua NH-U12p. It comes with a very quiet fan providing good cooling at low rpm. Performance may not be quite on a par with the Ultra 120 but the U120 noise levels depend on choice of fan. The Noctua includes a fan that Noctua claim is compliments the heatsink design. According to http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=c...nh_u12p&lng=en it is fully compatible with your board. The only issue I had fitting it (to ga-p35-ds3p rev 1.1) was the height of the HS. It makes it quite awkward mainboard with HS attached into a midi case. Having said that, it's no taller than the thermalright IIRC. The mounting is very secure too. HTH |

Thank You I have massively impressed with PWM CPU and system fans from Arctic Cooling. Over the years I have had many different makes of fans, but a recent build using these fans is the first one where I have been really happy with the noise - or rather lack of noise. As your motherboard supports 4-pin CPU and sytem PWM fans, they are the logical choice. And because you can leave the motherboard to control the fan speeds, based on the temperature, they would be ideal in a gaming PC. http://www.arctic-cooling.com/cpu2.p...79&data=3&disc http://www.arctic-cooling.com/cpu2.php?idx=162&disc http://www.arctic-cooling.com/fans2....11&data=1&disc |
