to be covered in case of future purchase of pwm fans (although i could use the noctua's one, without psu molex). As said by Abula, it's not advisable to get rid of the molex, as you may burn the mobo header (without it, I mean). As i wrote above, after reading SPCR test, i will avoid 120mm True qui...

Anyway i'm buying this pwm splitter (http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/ ... d=63&tab=1), to be covered in case of future purchase of pwm fans (although i could use the noctua's one, without psu molex). This is also a good PWM fan splitter, not to easy to get for the US, but i seen used by a lo...

The heatsink is ~2.6 CM at the highest point. Both parts are the same. Have faith, the hr22 will not have any issue with this mobo. I'm on the latest bios, 2.30. Don't know how bios fan control was before as i allways use speedfan. You have seen from my pictures that three headers can have any 0-10...

1) Antec True Quiet 140 imo its the best 140mm fan tonally (but there are limited 140 options, on 120s is much easier to find good fans), and its range is pretty solid still for someone looking for quiet fan, but do remember we add fans for cooling and at 200rpm they don't move much air so kinda de...

Tzeb can you tell me the height of the 2 heatsink on vrm (if have ddifferent height)? Because i'm afraid of the heatpipe of hr 22 more than the heatsink body itself. Also measure of the socket area would be useful to check by my self the compatibility with hr22. I understand it isn't easy with noctu...

Thanks everybody: i read all your posts, i will give an extensive answer later: now i'm placing the 2 orders to the shops. I have the same mobo. Speedfan can control only three fan headers. The 3 and 4 pin cpu headers are linked so any speed change will impact both headers. Bios pics - http://postim...

Correct, tonally there are better fans, for example the Antec True Quiet 140 tonally are much better, but this are 3pin voltage controlled fans, on PWM there is very few options, specially on 140mm. Noctua excels into their design of PWM, they design them to be able to drop very low and still have ...

For your experience there are no fans that will allow to start spinning at 150/200 rpm? Talking about 140mm PWM fans, there are not lots of alternatives. With reference to 120mm fans, lots of Scythe Slipstream/Glidestrram, but I would consider the Antec TrueQuiet 140 also (if there's room for the l...

I like Noctua a lot (not tonally) but out of the range of control that their PWM line gives you. For the HR22 i would go with the Noctua NF-A15 PWM . The HR22 comes with a pair of fan clips, that are meant for the TY141, a fan that its very similar in the frame to the A15, so it should work fine. F...

Hi Abula, thanks for this and many other usefull post i have read here and over other forums (but expecially here on SPCR) in last weeks. These were very usefull to decide my new pc config. Looking at pictures of the motherboard, i see it has as all motherboards the cpu socket (with the square and s...

Hi, i'm planning to build a fanless/semifanless haswell pc (Seasonic x 460 platinum, i5 4570, 16 gb Corsair Vengeance low profile, Thermalright HR 22, Asrock z87 Extreme 6 AC, ssd Samsung 840 pro 256 gb). The idea is to control the fans from asrock bios, that expecially after ver. 2.2 seems to be gr...

Hi all: i'm new writing here, but it's years and years i follow this site (mostly the articles), so after reading a lot of interesting posts usefull to decide the configuration of my new silent pc, i decided to join the forum to ask some questions. I would like to know, in particular, if does anyone...

Hi, does anyone know if HR 22 will fit in an Asrock Z87 extreme 6 AC? I'm afraid by the 2 VRM heatsink size. But i saw some pictures were it was placed over a Z87 Extreme 4 mobo ( http://www.overclock.net/t/1437284/thermalright-thermalright-hr-22/20 ) I want to give it a try for a fanless semifanles...
