So I am going to be replacing my motherboard soon (finally updating to a board that has a pcie2.0 on it) AND I am going to be replacing my zalman throughout the process. So I figured I would make the most phenomenal cooling unit that has braced the face of this planet.

here goes my prototype:

Noctua NH-U12P 120mm with a Delta GFB1212VHW 120x76mm 3550/3200 RPM fan.

what is that, you say? a 120mm fan that operates at 3550 rpm? WHY IN THE HOLY FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT!??

Here is why: 220 CF/M.

yes, that is over two times as fast as normal 120mm fans, and almost three times as fast as the included one.

brace for epic, I am going to try for 4ghz on my quad-core.
