Noctua makes some of the best air CPU coolers out there. When it comes to Ryzen they were one of the only manufacturers to have a full line of AM4 coolers ready. We've already taken a look at the big boy NH-D15 SE-AM4, with its amazing cooling performance. While the NH-D15 SE-AM4 is one of the best coolers for Ryzen it can be overkill for many people, and its shear size might not make it for everyone. Well Noctua has a smaller cooler made for Ryzen in their NH-U12S SE-AM4, which of course is their very popular NH-U12S with an AM4 mounting bracket. This single tower cooler features 5 large heatpipes and a 120 mm cooling fan. On top of that it has 100% RAM compatibility, so you shouldn't run into any clearance issues.

In this episode of our weekly tech podcast we talk about our four awesome reviews this week, NVIDIA launching the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, AMD's new mobile processors that combine Zen and Vega, and much more!

Noctua. A name that should be familiar to anyone who has been around the PC building industry for any amount of time. Known for their high-quality products as much as they are for their "unique" fan color scheme that provokes a love/hate response from most users, Noctua is a leader in aftermarket PC accessories. And while Noctua provides many options with regards to standard fan sizes like 120mm x 25mm and 80mm x 25mm, they also offer quire a few fan size options for less common applications.

Noctua today presented two updates to its range of quiet low-profile CPU coolers. Successors to the award-winning NH-L9a and NH-L12, the new NH-L9a-AM4 and NH-L12S models now support the AM4 socket of AMD's Ryzen processors.

In this episode of our weekly tech podcast we talk about all of the new coming out of Computex 2017! Brace yourself it is a long one!

So far Noctua is the only company showing off CPU coolers for AMD's recently announced Ryzen ThreadRipper high-end desktop processors. AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper presents an interesting challenge to CPU cooler makers as the physical size of the processor is one of the largest that we've seen!

Typically when we think of Noctua we think of their massive CPU coolers, but at Computex they were showing a prototype of a super-compact, low-profile AM4 CPU cooler. This will be the AM4 version of the NH-L9, we reviewed the Intel version almost 4 years ago.

Noctua makes some of the best air CPU coolers out there. We know this because we've tested many of their coolers over the years. With AMD's Ryzen launch we were brought a new socket (AM4) so Noctua decided to release three Special Edition coolers just for it. These include the NH-D15 SE-AM4, NH-U12S SE-AM4, and NH-L9x65 SE-AM4. We actually have all three coolers on hand, but will be testing the NH-D15 SE-AM4 first. This cooler has a dual-tower, dual-fan design featuring six copper heatpipes, two NF-A15 140mm fans, and Noctua's SecuFirm2 mounting system so installation should be pretty easy. Let's see what this cooler is all about!

Noctua today presented three special-edition models of its award-winning quiet CPU coolers. The new SE-AM4 versions of the NH-D15, NH-U12S and NH-L9x65 are dedicated premium-quality solutions for the new AM4 socket of AMD's upcoming Ryzen architecture. Whereas the NH-L9x65 SE-AM4 is tailored for compact systems and the NH-U12S SE-AM4 offers an excellent balance of performance and compatibility, the NH-D15 SE-AM4 provides maximum cooling performance for overclockers and silent enthusiasts.

Noctua today celebrated its 10-year anniversary. Since the introduction of the first generation NH-U12 heatsink in October 2005, Noctua's products have received more than 6000 awards and recommendations from leading international hardware websites and magazines, making them a default choice for quiet cooling enthusiasts all over the world.
