Noctua NH-L9i good for overclocking/Any good or bad experiences with it?
Hi everyone, I wanted to come on the fourm today to get some input on the Noctua NH-l9i. From the title, I would like to know is it good with OC'ing? I'll be working in a Silverstone SG05BB-LITE, and my CPU is the Pentium G3258. I have heard reports of people getting 4.5GHz+ with the stock cooler, but I wouldn't like to kill my CPU with the heat spewing out of a stock heatsink, and if a stock cooler can get that, a Noctua will perform a lot better.
But I digress, is it a good enough cooler to use in such a small case and is it worth buying for 40$? What is your experience with it if you have it? Thanks if you have any answers in advance.
Well I think it is worth 40$. Is it good for overclocking? Well I'm sure you'd have some room for it, yes. Just don't be disappointed if there is a limit. Burn it in with Prime 95 to make sure you are not going over like 90c. I'm sure it'll do at least as good, if not better than stock with good thermal paste.
I can type big too.
