    Just a quick one.

    If I get a TRUE and a Noctua fan, should I position the Noctua to push or pull from the TRUE?

    If in both scenarios, I suppose I should aim the fan towards the exhaust?

    Thanks. :D

    If you only get one fan I'd go with push, while the TRUE is facing the rear exhaust fans of the case.

    this is the tried & tested way to install a TRUE. unless your case is some really wierd configuration, do this.

    push, normally fans are better at blowing air than sucking. ;)

    if your Noctua fan is one of those with special fins, it creates a turbulence while blowing, it's designed to blow at heatsinks.

    Which cooler can "swat" the TRUE? As far as I'm concerned, the TRUE is still the best.

    I was going for a Noctua NH-U12P, but then I decided on a TRUE with a Noctua.

    This is because I'll be on an Antec P182, and it's worth paying about £20 extra for 5 degrees.

    True is beast. First I also try to buy NH-U12P, but decide to go with true after I got lot of recommendations. Now my I7 920 @ 4.0Hz stay below 80c.

    100C is maximum TDP

    Below 80c is OK
