NC-U6
It is evident that the class of the camp is the Noctua NC-U6 as it held the chipset temp a solid 5C lower than the HR-05 SLI and almost a whole 10C lower than the stock active cooling at 3000RPM. Keep in mind that I have upped the voltage on this chipset far past what it needs. Stock is 1.2v and I have it pegged at the BIOS max of 1.5v. This helps simulate a higher heatload and it is clear that the Noctua heatsink can handle quite the load.
"The Noctua NC-U6 cools incredibly well without the use of a fan, mounts extremely securely to the chipset, has a relatively small footprint for the its abilities, and is very well priced to boot. Anyone looking to improve cooling and/or eliminate noise from their system should keep the Noctua NC-U6 near the top of their shopping list." (Jody Bailey, OverclockersOnline.net)
