    Pro-tip: Make the move to imgur.com. Much better hosting site for images.

    So I downgraded back to the GTX 560ti. Mostly because of the slight difference in power consumption. I'll look into some things as things go on, I'm sure.

    Though it might be a moot attempt. We'll see.

    Hmm looks nice, beat NH-D14. If the price is good i just may buy this

    That's interesting. Might be the out-of-the-box added fan?

  6. #2826
    I wonder how long it will take before stores here have it in stock. That cooler comes with 2 fans instead of the 3 in the picture, right?

  7. #2827
    Yeah, I didn't think to double-check the packaging contents before after previous post. =.=

  8. #2828
    oh lol.
    With the two standard fans it beats the NH-D14 already, if I read the tables right :P

    If anything it simply looks like a D14 v2.
    D14's earliest reviews date back to Dec 2009. I'm failing to see what's so spectacular about a dual radiator cooler (based almost exactly on the D14's design) that beats it by 1-2C. If it's about setting a new record for air cooling performance, then sure we'll welcome it...but something like this was long overdue :P

    Also got a question for Cyanotical regarding GPU waterblocks - you said that reference cards are usually used, but from what I understand most reference PCB's don't allow voltage tuning...so how do people get around overclocking these watercooled beasts?

    oh damn. O.o

    To update the firmware though... isn't that kind of a complicated process? Especially if I have Windows installed on it?

    I notice you updated your firmware for a bigger boost in read speed, and I wonder how to do that or if thats possible for me^^

    I compare with my Vertex 3 max iops against your Crucial M4, and you have better read spead then me =/

    firmware for the Vertex 3 max iops can be found here...... but it looks like you can`t update the vertex 3 drives if windows is on it. but maybe someone else with a vertex 3 drive can say something about that?

    To install firmware updates for OCZ SSD's use: http://www.mediafire.com/?6guc3fikcpv8i7c
    It's Toolbox 2.35 instead of 2.37, this allows you to update the firmware while Windows is loaded. Don't accidentally wipe your disk though :P

    If it doesn't work, try this

    Eh, beats it where? At low overclocks? A toad might beat it at low overclocks. Crank the 920 up to 4.2-4.4 and see if it's the same story. Or in the second test, put the vCore on higher than 1.3 for the Sandy Bridge.
    Conclusion: The Phanteks' is better at low voltage and on low overclocks. That's all it really says. If they want to compare it to the NH-D14, do it proper. I'm not saying NH-D14 won't ever be surpassed, or that it's necessarily better than this heatsink. I'm just saying they didn't test if it was.
