We took, tested and reviewed three Noctua CPU coolers for testing, designed specifically for Ryzen Threadripper for X399 motherboards with Socket TR4 / SP3. All three tested coolers were recently introduced to the channel with kick performance and versus really good airflow, PWM controlled fan. Noctua reuses the old NH-U9-NH-U12S NH-U14S model, however, overhauling the base cooling base plate and mounting mechanism to fully cover the Threadripper heat spreader. This cooler is a drop-in, that means you apply a little thermal paste, install and hold the cooler. There is no backplate or a wise installation of complications. This cooler is very easy to install.
For each segment and budget, you can find something you need. The market is stable and within the overall range and coverage of heatpipe based heaters, there are certain comfort zones with suitable products available. As a result, most of the coolers available on the market are sufficient. There are always exceptions to this, there are some manufacturers out there who offer very interesting stuff, equipment and equipment that really stands out from the cooling crowd, the hardware you and I desire and need so badly ... that is at game game hardware enthusiast domain. And that's where we have to stop at Noctua when they tick all the boxes. In a long CPU cooling circuit, Noctua recently introduced three new models, Noctua NH-U9 TR4-SP3 / NH-U12S TR4-SP3 and NH-U14S TR4-SP3. Three musketeers were recently introduced to the channel to offer a great performance made with the help of some very nice PWM fan fans who turned it off. So this product is bound to keep every CPU Threadripper released until recently with both cooled and cooled, even the most high-end 16-core and 32-threaded Ryzen Threadripper 1950X SKU (which we'll use now). The cooler has roughly the same heat pipe arrangement used by its predecessor. The mounting kit as stated is a mere advantage because the CPU cooler is positioned and then screwed tight.
Armed with a 6-year warranty, TR3-SP3 and NH-U14S TR4-SP3 SKUs are currently being sold today, NH-U9 TR4-SP3 and NH-U12S TR4-SP3 at 69 EUR / USD, NH-U14S TR4-SP3 at 79 EUR / USD. Well, let's find out and go ahead to review the product where we will test its basic performance but also increase CPU voltage to overclock to see how well this creature behaves in a wise temperature.
