Noctua NH U12P SE2 vs. Corsair h 60 or 80? Which one is better ?
Click to expand...

Are you going to over-clock very high OR moderate ~4.5GHz -- 5GHz is tops.

If you are going to do moderate over-clocking the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 ~3900/- is a better buy as it is near silent in operation and very efficient. --> http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1196/1/ / http://www.overclockersonline.net/reviews/50003461/.

If you are going to clock the system higher, go for the Corsair H80. --> http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1661/1/ / http://www.anandtech.com/show/5054/corsair-hydro-series-h60-h80-and-h100-reviewed.

But be warned the H80 gets noisy as it tries to keep the temperatures down.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!

Happy Holi to all on this thread.
 
Will gtx 670 available by early may ?

Can I fix with these components for this build

Processor-Intel I5 2500k

Mobo-Asus p8z68-pro-v

RAM-Corpair vengeance 8gb 1600MHZ CL9

Hard disk-Seagate or WD 1TB 7200(mention the exact model)

Cabinet-NZXT Phantom 410

Psu-Corsair 750w

I have not yet decided with the monitor and GPU.I'll get mouse and keyboard few months later,so let's not talk about these now.

If there is any way to cut down prices then tell me where I can drop,so that I can get better GPU.(I might not mention all the components ).

My build date has extended to early may because of my exams(any recommendations for new releases).
 
Even a h100 can't easily manage 5.0 nor does every chip or mb manage that. To maintain good temps with a h100 you shouldn't go beyond 4.6-4.8 max. Anything more than 4.8 should be done using custom water cooling to have sub 60c temps

Maybe, maybe not cannot shoot anything also I expect it to be exorbitantly priced on the lines of the current GTX 680, so will be blunted by cards like HD 7870 2GB which can be over-clocked and made to perform just as well if not better.

Processor-Intel I5 2500k

Mobo-Asus p8z68-pro-v

RAM-Corsair vengeance 8gb 1600MHZ CL9
Instead of Corsair Vengeance, I will recommend G.Skill RIPJAWS 4GB x2 ~3400/-, they have a better heat-spreader design and over-clock better.

Hard disk-Seagate or WD 1TB 7200(mention the exact model)

Got for a standard Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB, no need to go for the Western Digital editions.

Cabinet-NZXT Phantom 410

Get the Corsair Carbide 400R ~5400/- a better cabinet in my views, also supports the entire Corsair water cooler line-up.

Psu-Corsair 750w

Instead of going for a Corsair H100 water cooler, go for the -->

1) Noctua NH-D14 ~5500/- http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/26613-noctua-nh-d14-cpu-cooler-review.html / http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/LGA-2011-i7-3960X-Air-Overclocking,3130.html / http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1212/1/.

2) Go for a HD 7870 2GB and over-clock it to the performance levels of a HD 7970 and run on those clocks.

Will a cooler master hyper 212+ keep the temperatures within the limit(50-60) if overclocked to 4.2 or should I look for a better one,because a Corsair h100 or h80 are too costly for my budget.

It will make the cut, but I would recommend the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 ~4000/- in its stead. The latter is near silent in operation and offers a compatibility list -- http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1196/1/ / http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?256984-Review-Noctua-NH-U12P-SE2-(Second-Edition)-test-in-the-aerodynamics-space [of all processor sockets since AM2 and LGA 775 era onwards] and a service support system that is peerless.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!
 
You can go for MSI Z68 GD65 instead, it costs about 11k and will easily achieve 4.3-4.5 Ghz overclocks. For all practical purposes it is nearly as good, has better warranty and support, generally better build than asus, and you can save a considerable amount of money for your GPU.

You should also stick to air cooling or at least get H100 but H100 will be too costly in this budget. If you will stick to a single GPU, no need to go higher than Corsair TX750 V2, at the very most.

A CM Hyper 212 Plus will easily manage 4-4.2 with temps of sub 60-65 or lower with a good amount of load. At 4.3 with 1.31V even my H100 gets 65C+ OCCT load within several minutes. Gaming load is usually 55C+ though, sub 60C. So a 212 Plus will give you 80-90% of the performance of a H100.

You will manage 4-4.2 and temps will be around 60C with real world load.

I too recommend G Skill RAM as it ocs better.

670 Ti won't launch before June/July in India, if you are very lucky then late May but that is very unlikely. The thing is that is probably will launch in May/June/late abroad, and assume a 1 month gap to India.

Besides, 670 Ti will easily cost around 23-27k if not more. And it will probably compete with a 7950 which is sub 30k in India already. The 670 Ti may even be 27k+. You never know.
 
Noctua NH-U12P SE2 would be ideal for me(I'll drop to CM Hyper 212+ if budget can't hold above mentioned one) .I'll go with Asus P8Z68 V PRO & regarding RAM G.Skill will be good.I'll wait for GPU

Is NZXT Phantom 410 a good case regarding airflow or should I choose any other with high airflow?

This is the best value / performance CPU cooler currently in the market, try to get this over the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO OR V6GT. Also they are super quiet while they are at it [cooling the components].

Go for the Corsair Carbide 400R ~5400/- http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/Carbide_400R/ / http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/corsair_carbide_400r/ OR NZXT Tempest EVO ~5500/- http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NZXT/Tempest_EVO/ / http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/nzxt_tempest_evo/.

Honestly the Asus mobo is good for a Pc where money is no object but in a 70k budget it doesn't justify spending 5k more over the msi. IMO the msi is a better deal even if it costed at least 2k higher than the current price

The ASUS P8Z68M-PRO ~9800/- is not super expensive and I have had a pretty good relationship with my ASUS motherboard [M4A785TD-V EVO], whilst my MSi HD 5770 conked of in 3 months due to manufacturing defects. I think that illustrates my issues with MSi.

Also the chipset on both the ASUS and MSi motherboard are same so the performance will also be similar across the board [maximum variation of ~1 --> 5% in exceptions and individual usage scenarios].
 
Just because your MSI GPU konked off, that too just a single GPU means zilch.

MSI and Asus are both comparable and at the same price point MSI > Asus. Period. If money is no object, yes, then Asus motherboards are faster but do have their issues which are far more common than MSI or Gigabyte, Your knowing this or not makes no difference whatsoever.

The most common problems are with Asus motherboards but that isn't the point. Even if I assume that both motherboards are perfect built quality, the Asus mobo for sub 10k can't compete with the MSI one for sub 10k. PERIOD

To beat a MSI GD65 by about 1-2% across the board you need a Asus V Pro which costs at least 50% as much.

The MSI GD55 or GD65 are both within his budget and beat the crap out of any other offering in that price. If he had enough money, he could have gone for a Asus V Pro but that makes no sense when he is on a limited budget.

Tell me one thing where a matx board will beat a full atx board when both atx boards are nearly at par with each other.

Just because you have personal problems with a brand doesn't mean you should misguide him.

If somebody wants the fastest motherboard in the world, I would myself recommend the Asus Z68 Deluxe for about 18-20k. But I would only recommend that in budgets of 2-3L for the system (including a 50k monitor).

Where money has some value, nobody spends 5k more to get 1% more performance. The MSI will get the job done just as nicely.

And whether you can face this or not, MSI has the fewest issues of all. But that is besides the point. One bad experience means ZERO. I am ashamed that a senior TE member counts one bad experience as the THE END of a brand.

a Matx board will make it difficult when it comes to the selection of your graphic card, CPU cooler, additional cooling, perhaps even overclocking to some extent though I am not sure of the oc thing. Besides, you won't be able to use 2 gpus no matter what the specs state because even full boards don't have enough space for 2 double/triple slot cards with ease, and the list goes on.

I see no reason how a matx board can help him.
 
if you want better cooling inside cabinet nzxt phantom 410 3 fans there but if you want better cable management and to fit large graphics card bigger than 12 inches corsair 400r upto 4.5 ghz cooler master hyper212 evo more than enough noctua 212 uip provides better cooling but might be difficult to fit in phantom but noctua v/s coolermaster is just 3-4 degree difference phantom has usb3 and usb 2 but corsair has only usb3 slots if your are going for amd 7000 series cards better to get ivy and z68 mb gen3 or z77 mbs to get pcie-3 performance.not for nothing is the coolermaster 212 evo still a best seller in newegg
 
I'll surely get a NZXT temptest EVO,it has got 6 fans all bright blue so it will offer high air flow and good looks too.

I'll stick stick with sandy bridge.
