The Noctua NF P12 is made for CPU coolers, more pressure.
I haven't check their site lately, they may have newer models available.

If your fans are quiet, I'd be happy with those temps.

This is the one I am talking about, specially designed for Rads n junk. Noctua NF-F12

I'd like to try one out anyway.......they are probably the best fans on the market for a reason.

The NF-F12 is supposed to be best for radiators, it is a 'focused flow' fan and blows straight through instead of what most fans do and spread the air out.

That's the one, must be the upgrade of mine.

If you're looking for decent radiator fans and don't like the Nocs colour. The Cougar vortex are a good alternative and they do come in black n orange aswell as orange and black :P

I think it is a newer version they came out with not long ago. The P12 should be a better case fan but the F12 is made for radiators, as I understand. They put out a focused flow, a little more air and are not quite as silent as the P12's, but 20db can't be considered loud by any standards.

I think the orange would clash with the red on my ROG.

5ghz Not Stable , Crash as soon as i run Prime.

Stable o/c when burnt with prime. But temp are going in the low 80s with my h100.
(here in Australia it's summer. 45C outside about 30/35 inside in the afternoon.)
Would probably hit mid 70s if i tried in winter.

i hit the low 70s now with my constant oc @4.4ghz 1.2V burnt with prime95. other wise low 40s idle . . . mid-high 50s when gaming.

I thought the same but in the end they looked sound. I prefer the orange to the blacks and although the Nocs are really good fans i just couldn't get around the colour. Everyone to their own though enit.
The Corsair Air series of fans are another choice now too which are apparantly on par with Noctua's aswell.
I think a lot more makers have started making fans specificaly for radiators now as more and more folks choose to go the liquid route aren't they.

Nice OC d4ph0d, the daily 4.4GHz 1.2v temps are great.

Did you try to lower the Vcore on the 4.8GHz 1.4v run?
Or is that on top of the wall?

Still have to push mine to find the wall.
