I have the AsRock 890GX Extreme 3 motherboard with passive pipeline bound Northbridge and graphics transistors cooler. Since these were too hot for the overclocking and another cooler, I thought I'll get the Titan here and it gets better. But it was not. Because the new motherboards have loose brackets and this then wobbles back and forth here. Say is the contact between the cooler and the Norhbridge 0. But anyway, this cooler has good spotted with me, as it is almost 5 thousand revolutions creates the minute and remains silent. Power has the part really! I recommend it but only for weak motherboards with non poplin coolers or for very old computers.
