    Pros: Easy to install if you’ve installed an aftermarket cooler before. Noise? At load this is as loud as my stock Intel OEM CPU cooling fan at idle. Very quiet if you’re looking for as little sound as possible. Smaller than I imagined it would be. Includes additional bracket & noise isolation pieces for a second fan if you so choose. I don’t OC, and the cooling with the single included fan is sufficient for my needs (push configuration to the back of my case & it’s exhaust fan). Cons: Fan…

    Pros: I am a huge Noctua fan, there are others that are as good don’t get me wrong, but Noctua has been great for me over the years and I tend to be loyal to a company for as long as they keep doing the right thing You might be wondering why I selected the 120 MM cooler in 2015 when everyone is using 140mm fans and the reason is that coolers have started to get too big and my current case would be too tight a fit. The NH-U12s is only 148mm tall with the fan which give me plenty of clearance…

    Pros: When compared to Noctua’s larger twin tower coolers, such as the NH-D15 (of which I have running on a i7-4790K system), this is a breeze to install! About 15 minutes of work for one who has built (or upgraded) systems to Noctua CPU coolers, provided there’s an opening behind the MB to install the Noctua backplate (many AMD AM3/AM3+ owners won’t need this step). Perhaps best of all, no scraped knuckles from having to remove a center fan of a NH-D15 (or similar) to install! Clearance is…

    Pros: Purchased and it arrived so fast I wasn’t even able to build anticipation. The packaging was solid, simply foreshadowing the product within. So easy to install, haven’t modified a computer in years, take the stock cooler off, clean the thermal paste, glance the install guide for a few seconds to familiarize with the bracket placement directions. Once the brackets are on, place the thermal paste, seat the heat sink onto the brackets, evenly tightening all four fasteners. Give the two…

    Pros: Absolutely silent. Not even a hint of thermal issues on my i7-9700k (stock clocks for now). Cons: So good it has caused me to shell out even more money to Noctua for more of their fans and heatsinks. 🙁

    Overall Review: Keeps the Ryzen 5 3600 cool. 29°C at idle and 68°C at 100% load in my ancient Antec Nine Hundred case. I don’t think the 140mm or the 150mm version would fit in the case.

    Pros: With the fan in front, pushing air through fins toward the back, there’s room for literally any size ram. Running at 700rpm, I literally can’t hear it with the case open. Comes with literally everything you’d need. Very low profile for a serious HSF. Something else with the word “literally”. Cons: Included thermal paste is very thick. Adding a 120mm fan to the back will be impossible for most mobos with built in heat sinks, as the fans and fins sit very low. It’s so very, very ugly….

    Pros: I was dumb and bought a pre-built PC from Best-Buy. The tower it came with was only good at trapping hot air in the PC, causing it to overheat CONSTANTLY. I bought this along side one of the Fractal towers and already I’m seeing a HUGE dip in temps, from an average 50-75 c to 25-35 c while idle/using chrome. The kit comes with most of the things you need to assemble it, having thermal paste was also a nice touch. The only trouble I had with it had everything to do with the design of my…
