First Class Kühltum

The new K-Intel processors can easily be overclocked up to 4500 MHz, and not as a temporary Turbo, but permanently.

Because of course creates a lot of waste heat.

That's why I went with the Noctua from the beginning on "the safe side".
It cools the CPU down to almost unbelievable 32 degrees in standby.

The system consists of the large heat sink and 2 fans.
A 12 inch and a 14-inch model.

Both, incidentally pole 3 with controller ports.
I had the two summed up with the enclosed Y-adapter, since the motherboards Asrock Z68 series do have 2 CPU fan connectors, the 4-pole but it refuses to control 3-pin fans via the BIOS.

Size problems during installation there was also the beginning, since I had first ordered Corsair memory with high passive coolers to.
But on the 2nd bank it went so just yet.

The processing of the fan and its accessories is top notch.

All in all, the fan part of a Dream Team, with the work on the PC enjoy. Also, because the fan can be configured pleasantly quiet until a temperature limit is exceeded and then everything. I've never experienced :-))
