> 3 dayArguably one of the best air coolers out there for an SFF build. (5900x)

> 3 dayWorks great! Brought my cpu temperature (ryzen 3700) down from 82-83 C under stress test to 74-76 C.

> 3 dayFirst Noctua cooler and very easy to install. One recommendation would be to verify if there are any compatibility with motherboard, case and ram. During the installation in Fractal Design Torrent Nano, needed to rotate the cooler 180 degrees BUT cannot install an exhaust fan in the case due to the size of the cooler.

20-12-2024After switching to this Noctua cooler and Noctua NF-S12A case fans my PC is silent. Not hearing the shifting whine of the stock wraith prism cooler or the motor and bearings of the case fan I had before is worth the money. My temps are fantastic at idle and during a 100% CPU benchmark test. Ryzen 7 2700x.

> 3 dayIt is a giant cooler with low profile and compact height to fit in my corsair air 240. I use it to cool my r3 2200g, since its an entry level CPU, this cooler is able to run without fan and give me an ultra quiet result. R3 2200g with no fan usually run under 40 degree c, nice!

15-12-2024Got this with the NM-AM4 Mounting Kit for my R7 1700, the stock heat-sink wasnt able to cool my processor at stock clocks for some reason. Installing this heat-sink was a bit of a pain in the Corsair 100R Silent but is well worth it as with stock clocks my temps dropped to 1-2 degrees above ambient. I have been able to overclock my CPU with this to 3.9Ghz at 1.3625v but have settled with 3.8Ghz at 1.25v as the voltage jump was too much for me. Max temperature with the 3.8Ghz overclock is 75C with Prime 95 running for about 30 minutes and idling temperature is 30C.

> 3 dayGood size for medium to large case. I was putting it in a Kolink case which is on the smaller end of medium and it was a very tight squeeze. Works like a charm though so once its in it stays. Very efficient cooler. I highly recommend it.

> 3 dayVery expensive, but really great quality. it is quiet and keeps my processor cool. I switched from a closed loop liquid cooler which had lost its coolant due to permeation over around 8 years. Its really nice not having to worry about leaks with this air cooler. It may not be quite as cool as the liquid cooler, but air coolers have less to worry about. it is very heavy, so its recommended not to transport it with the heatsink on. If you do a lot of transporting, you may want to pick a lighter one if possible. I did transport mine over an hour and it was okay when I got back to my apartment. Definitely be careful and think about the orientation of the heatsink when you transport the computer. But overall really great cooler. It keeps my cpu cool without any noise.

> 3 dayIts keeping my AMD Ryzen 7 3700X cool! Its great for my HTPC case. I game with it pretty much daily and never have any throttling issues! The fact that it faces toward the io shield gives it an extra bonus for not mattering about ram height. Im adding a picture of it next to the L12S. This was a larger cooler but since it faces a different direction I have more room to work then I had with the Noctua L12S.
