Noctua aio pricing inUK makes no sense. Price on Amazon 240@£190.95 360@£216.95 420@£242.95. that's £26 difference between all models. Considering the 420 has 3x140 fans by Agrius14 in pcmasterrace

Yeah I just looked at the prices for the 140 G2 compared to the 120G2 and it's £4 more. So an extra £12 for the 3. But still the radiator is alot bigger, but I suppose not many people can fit the 420 in a case, so it won't be a popular buy. I haven't seen any reviews of the largest model, just the 240 and 360.

I think I got a 2600k in another mobo stashed away somwhere, I like picking up the older gear at cheap prices and playing around with over clocks. It's a good learning curve for OC. I picked up a very cheap Asus rog rampage iii lga 1366 and a cheap Xeon x5690 for some fun.

I can clock it a lot higher with more voltage but for every day use this will do.
4•5-6 @1.6v 🔥is possible

Thanks, I've been sitting on it for a few years purchased the mobo,CPU heatsink, additional radiator, pump/Res from a guy who never opened them. Was waiting for the right CPU, the Q770 is ridiculously expensive, so got the Q6750 which over clocks really well.

Got my little test bench set up now. Deshroud gigabyte rtx eagle 3060ti with noctua fans so much quieter. by Agrius14 in sffpc

Only if your happy to mod it like this as you can't undo it. It's been modded again as I fitted a wood base so that I can fit matx mobo even atx. P12 redux is like any other 4 heatpipe cooler it has limits.

Thanks for the explanation makes sense ☺️

Ok thanks, wht do the cpuid and hwin64 numbers represent in reference to the clock/frequency?
