Comment:
My CPU in no way gets more than 44C with this setup even when gaming. I use it with myAMD 1090T Black. Functions great. Nearly silent. So quiet that I have removd all the noise reducers and run the fans complete speed all the time. It could use to be about 5mm much less wide. I had to manually bend one particular of the fan clips in order to get clearance for the heatsinks on my memory modules.

-Easy to install. (On a fresh create.)-Powerful.-Temps are cool when my i7 930 is maxed at 3.6 (I'm confident I could get it greater, but just don't care to.)-Would purchase once again. I had small to no dilemma installing this factor. Read the directions, follow them. Go to go. (Make certain you have some Arctic Silver five [or such] on your CPU before you seat it. =p) Would obtain once again in a heartbeat.

Quiet! And very innovative style, for the AMD side anyway, clips for the fans and rubber padding for the contact amongst the fan and heatsink. Easy installation as effectively. So far, temps run at 50 tops quietly, vs my AMD stock which ran close to 60 sounding like a jet engine. So far a fantastic HS/F No LEDs on the fans? Hope the paste it comes with is fantastic... :\ Noctua NH-U9B SE2 92mm SSO CPU CoolerASUS Evo BoardAMD Phenom II X4 955Nvidia 9800GTX+four GB GSkill RAM850W PSU4 120mm and two 230mm Blue LED fans

I'm not confident yet, don't have it up and running Doesn't come with AMD back plate and was not compatible with my board's (GA-MA790X) stock backplate. In most circumstances possibly demands un-mounting motherboard to set up. On an pricey cooler like this they shouldn't be so low cost. They should contain the backplate. I purchased one on auction for ů.50 including shipping but will take a week to get right here. Meanwhile my Computer is in pieces. Don't waste men and women's time over a ů.50 backplate - at least warn prospects they could have to get a single.

Noctua NH-U9B SE2 92mm SSO CPU Cooler
Cons:Cooling performance could be better, rubs on ram with heatsinks

Pros:Tight install, Quiet, Solid,
Comment:
CPU: AMD Phenom II 965 BEI have a computer for gaming and watching movies. This means the most important factors in my cooling components is that they are both quiet and have good performance. This means a sacrifice some where; such as price.This cooler is less expensive than other Noctua components but there is little in terms of draw backs for those with similar needs. As far as cooling of the CPU goes it does much better at idle and maintains a lower max temp when compared to my previous cooler (Zalman CNPS9700). More importantly, when watching a film or television show, my computer is quiet enough to hear even the most subtle audio. Quiet and Cool? CheckNoctua quality? CheckReasonable Price? Check

Comment:
High top quality, appealing, properly-developed item operates properly. The fans are amazingly quiet and possibly worth the cost just by themselves. Fits in cases that 120mm fan based heatsinks won't. Mounting program is initial-class and outcomes in solid, secure make contact with with CPU. It requires replacement of mounting frame, so you will need to have access to each sides of mobo. You can download their installation manual to see for your self. Straightforward job. I'm employing it on an Asus M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 with AMD Phenom II X6 1090T at three.2GHz in a Lian Li desktop case. I'm utilizing just a single of the two fans, and the ultra low noise resistor (᝺dBA according to mfr, but of course there's no spot that quiet outside of an anechoic chamber), keeps the CPU beneath 30 deg. no matter what i do. It keeps the CPU substantially cooler than the AMD stock cooler and WAY WAY quieter. Utilizing an Antec TP-550 power provide, which has a large, speed-controlled fan, also keeps noise at a minimum. None. This is a significant, nicely-engineered product, not just a toy for gamers wanting to see pretty lights in their instances, so yeah it costs a tiny more. A big improvement.

I've got this on my Phenom II X6 1090t. I have the CPU o/c'd to 4 ghz and this issue keeps it cool all the time. Idle at 25C and load at 45C. Not undesirable for a push-pull air technique! This issue is hefty and significant. Because of the clips that hold the fans on, I was unable to access two of my 4 memory slots. Be aware of this.

Comment:
I got this for my home theater Pc. It's cooling an E8400 intel clocked to three ghz and even at max rpm's, it's entirely silent and the temps seldom go over 45*C It's large but I knew that going into this. It's mounted to my Abit IP35 Pro motherboard and the chipset cooler on the mobo just barely clears 1 of the fans. If the heat sink on the motherboard were any larger, I would have had to come up with yet another way to mount the 2nd fan. RAM clearance wasn't an situation.Base plate could have been lapped or at least polished a lot more. Most zalman coolers now come with mirror polished contact surfaces and pass the razor blade flat surface test with flying colors. they're becoming the significant player they the moment were and Noctua requirements to step their game up.Designing a much better fan mounting sytem would be nice also. The thin metal clips are old and need to just die currently. It doesn't pretend to dish out the cooling performance of it's larger brothers so don't expect it to. For the cash and for being a 92mm unit even though, it's incredibly quiet (nearly entirely inaudible) and handles my OC'd intel quite properly.

Comment:
This heatsink is superbly designed compared to my old heatstink (Rev.two) Have it on a 1090t @ three.6 GHZ.Temperatures wont break 46C though gaming on highest settings in any game. On P95 anxiety test it wont go past 56C. Idle temperature varies with area temperature but its around 30C. This is with the ultra low noise adapter installed which keeps the fans at 1000 RPM.Very quiet with the ultra low noise adapter and cooling efficiency isn't substantially decreased compared to the low noise adapter and with no adapter at all. Cut my finger but didnt notice till i started cleaning the old thermal grease with isopropyl alcohol.Some people may possibly find the noise to be a small loud with both fans operating at MAX speed. This kit comes with high excellent anything... thermal paste, fans, heatsink, anti vibration strips, installation kit, situation badge.. the list goes onInstalled in an Antec 300 with fans pushing air upwards.Use the noise adapters.. they are there for a reason.

Comment:
* The fans are really quiet with the Ultra-Low Voltage regulator connected* Fans are extremely quiet, except for the airflow itself, without the regulators on* Flexible (you can install , 1, or 2 fans)* Includes clear, rubber strips to lower fan vibrations against the cooler* Really sturdy building* Quite solid mounting bracket -- takes a little assembly, but it's effortless, and very worth it No cons really. If I had to list anything, I'd say that the fan mounting brackets are a tiny weird, but honestly, they're not that bad. It just took me a little bit to figure out how to use them. Acquire it, if you're seeking for a cooler. My experience with this a single, so far, has been considerably much better than an older Zalman that I had.

Suprising top quality.Duel (push/Pull) FansDropped CPU TEMP on overclocked i5-760 at 3.6ghz from 75c to ឬC with prime95 banging away.Not as tall as I expected. i5-760 ʇ.6GHzMSI P55A-GD65G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB ƒ x 4GB) Fan can get in the way of tall memory on the MSI P55A-GD65 when all 4 slots are used, but it seems that the fans can be slid up the heatsink more than the memory. This thing came wonderfuly packaged with everything in person packages for the unique chip sets. 1 for AMD and Intel. Incredibly clear and specialist instructions. This is appears to be a best of the line item.

Pros:QuietWorks greatAwesome Temperatures for i7 and 8 Core AMD Processors
Comment:
As I mentioned above it's got awesome temperatures for i7 and 8 Core AMD Processors. Great price I got it fro around 45$ price matched. This edition isn't as big as the other ones but it works great. Let me tell you guys who are deciding whether to get this or liquid cooling that doesn't need maintenance, go for this. It works way better. I have built many computers and this one is just way quieter and better.

Extremely nice machine function on cooler it self, BUT. See Cons With all the gadgets and wire connectors no matter how I configured this cooler I could not get a Q9550 to run beneath 55C, No fan control. So I re-engninered it and got two coolmaster 92mm fans with PWM and a Y adaptor, Plugged it in the CPU connector on MOMBO Let SYS control fan speed , Now I have 35C and a incredibly really Box. Noctua wants to go back to the drawing board and give this sys some control. The Cooler is really nice loved the mounting hardware, They just want to repair their fan style.

Very quiet, actually inaudible. Keeps corei5 incredibly cool. Yes ist's incredibly major. Check the dimensions before you obtain. Had a small trouble finding the fans on, would have liked much more detailed pics with installation instructions. stated it currently but it's worth repeating - Yes ist's quite massive. Check the dimensions just before you purchase. I don't overclock.

Comment:
Quiet and moves tons of air. Idle CPU temp with a phenom x6 2.8(overclocked to 3.four all six cores operating) has but to exceed 35c also brought MB temp down also. Noctua will cool any case I construct in from this day on. Only trouble is RAM installation. Making use of high-finish RAM with heat seperators may possibly not be able to fit in the very first DIMM on some boards. I only installed 4GB ƒGBx2) so I applied the second the 3ǚ DIMM's. But the quantity of Air that it moves is worth it and appropriate now 4GB's of the suitable stuff will get most stuff achieved. Excellent excellent excellent cooler.

Comment:
This is the earlier NH-U9B model plus an added fan and mounting parts for 1156 and other Intel and AMD cpus. Even with two fans in push/pull config, the cooler is virtually silent at full speed. Did not need speed reduction leads. Very productive; operating i7-860 at three.6 GHz at affordable temps.This is the smallest of Noctua's cpu coolers. Fits (barely) in HT case, exactly where couple of other vertical coolers will 鲽mm tall.) But does the job one of those large tower numbers. Has backplate, so you have to remove mobo to assemble mounting bracket. Surprisingly quiet.

Practically silent with the LNA. Combined with a new Scythe 120mm intake fan, idle temps by dropped 6c and load temps by 8c. Comes with adequate thermal paste for this and your next five Pc builds. AM3 set up was extremely effortless when the mobo is removed from the case. Fans mount leading to bottom not left to suitable which seemed a small odd to me.

Fantastic product. Uncomplicated to install and keeps I7 870 at 20C or lessat idle. Fits nicely in Lian Li V354. Covers 4th memory slot on micro atx boards. Had to trim fan housing a bit to preserve it from touching the memory heat sink None Fans in all probability couldn't be ugglier!

Comment:
Have always wanted to give one of these coolers a try but balked at the price up until now. Finally said "what the hell" and went for it. Glad I did! Now that I've had been using it for a while I can honestly say It is definitely worth the extra dough. Noticeably cooler and quieter than anything else I've used in the past, even with both fans spinning at max RPM you can hardly even tell it's running.

If you read this, and if you havent already been convinced to purchase this, then I will convince you correct now mmmkay? Pros-Keeps my Phenom ii x3 740 be (unlocked 4th) ᤕC idle and usually under 40C during games (w/ noise minimizing adapters on) -Its DEAD silent (again, noise reducers applied)- It looks great.- Ideal size. - Superb Develop high quality.- Truly effortless install (actually fun to put together)- RADICAL metal case badge :)Every thing about this cooler is incredible. Thats all I can say... Nope. Sorry. If your not the kind who requirements THE Greatest MOST High priced stuff on the industry, then this is for you. Dont let marketing and advertising swindle you, its getting you. This item is more affordable then Most high end Coolers, and I presume it can dominate the lot of em.
