hi i got a cooler master haf 922 and noctua nh-u12p with push and pull... Right now i am getting pretty stable at 4.0ghz with 200x20 (i7 860 with gigabyte p55a-ud4p) and 1.29v but temp is little higher than i would like..(hitting 86c on few occations)
Right now i am pushing air out of top fan which i thought it would give me better result since hot air moves upward.
Do you think i would get a better result if i set up the noctua more conventional way (pushing the air out of rear fan) than pushing the air to the top fan?
