Hi,
I'm using a Swiftech H220 to cool my 8350 at 4.8 and had the pump fail last night. Even though it's under warranty, I'm not satisfied with the fan configuration—it only offers PWM for the pump, so the fans on the block run at full speed unless I'm mistaken.
I'm looking into an air cooling solution that could keep the system quiet during idle, especially since noise is a concern in the living room.
Could a Noctua or similar air solution help me stay cool at 4.8?
Thanks in advance.
You achieved a solid 4.8ghz @ 1.3v? That’s definitely impressive, considering my own chip would likely fail at that voltage. I’ll have to push mine up to 1.48v if it holds. If everything checks out with prime95 and IBT, the Noctua should handle it well, though I’m surprised how low the voltage you can use is.
Hi jonnyapps,
here is an article discussing the overclocking of the 8350 with a nhd 14, hope it helps.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't notice any details about the temperatures during the overclock process.
From various benchmarks I've reviewed over time, the DH-14 performs exceptionally well as an air cooler and is commended for its quiet operation.
The challenge arises when considering that any air cooler may face difficulties at 4.8ghz on an 8350, depending on the specific chip.
What idle and load temperatures were you observing at 4.8ghz with the H220? What voltage configuration are you using?

During testing various FX chips, I've observed that some perform better in terms of heat dissipation than others under identical conditions. Regarding the NH-D14's cooling efficiency, I'm confident it can maintain temperatures below 55°C at around 4.7Ghz with approximately 1.46v. This seems to be a reasonable expectation.
