Nothing worth to mention,
The NH-U12S TR4-SP3 cooler is an alternative to the NH-U9 TR4-SP3. If we have more space in the PC case then it can be a bit better option. It's quiet, performs well and is the top quality product so we don't have to worry about any compatibility issues o...
The Noctua NH-U12S is another Noctua cooler we cannot really fault, other than as an overclocker. It's up to the usual Noctua standards, and if you buy this product, it will feel like a premier purchase, but it's not going to allow for much room in overcl...
Abstract: Let's be honest, both some of the best heatsinks and fans are Noctua's, especially when you are looking for low noise output. The problem is they have been very stuck on their brown and tan color scheme. The benefit is that when you see them you know exac...

Abstract: While Austrian PC cooling manufacturer Noctua is mostly known for their high-end enthusiast/gamer oriented cooling products, they do offer a line-up of heatsinks for both AMD Ryzen Threadripper and EPYC server processors. In this article we are trying out...

When someone asks me about an air cooler Noctua is always at the top of my list, especially when it comes to performance. Noctua does air cooling right and has done it for a very long time. They don't need flashy designs or RGB's to sell their coolers, th...

Well, it's been a long time coming, but Noctua have finally realised that not everybody loves the plain aluminium aesthetic of their heat sinks, and the diarrhea brown coupled with prosthetic limb beige of their standard fans. yes it's taken a while, but...
It is shocking how well these three high-end heatsinks from Noctua handle AMD's TR4 and SP3 sockets for their latest Ryzen Threadripper (X399) and EPYC platforms. The new TR4-SP3 versions of the award-winning NH-U14S, NH-U12S and NH-U9 coolers perform so...

With the popularity of Ryzen there is a huge push to have plenty of cooling options on the market. What makes Ryzen so interesting is the 65w TDP making it one of the coolest performance CPUs on the market. This translates into systems that don't require...
