The Standard
This is a lower height CPU cooler that can cool even the hottest CPUs like the Intel LGA 2066 and AMD sockets. I am not a big fan of AIOs, as I have gotten equal, if not better, cooling from a solution like this Additionally, they are easier to install and have a longer life, since there is not coolant that evaporates or a pump to fail. Pros: Easy to install. Took me a short bit of time to install. Has mounting hardware for many common socket types. Can support push/pull fan configuration. Quality build. Black coating that looks great since most motherboards are black. Uses 92mm fans that have good static pressure and are not power hungry. Very quiet. Has everything you need to install it included. Cons: Can be considered costly Does not have the clearance for some SFF cases. My temps with this cooler have been great even when running benchmarks or testing the CPU hard. This is a standard in air cooling. It is smaller than the larger Noctua coolers, but performs very well. The older lines, with silver and the brown fan cooling, established this pedigree, but the update and total black coloring takes it to the next level. When looking for an air cooling solution, this is one to consider, especially for black builds that do not have the room for a full size cooling solution.

Great cpu cooler fan!
Really appreciate this product. It had connections to the motherboard that I had to finagle because of the fact I have an HP Omen that, for some reason, likes to be a hybrid of the connections between both options this gives you. It works great and installation was easy. It's very quiet for me, even without the quiet adapter on. Keeping my system cool. Would buy another of noctua when I need one.

Can confirm it does work withthe LGA 1700 socket
Got this for my NZXT gaming PC build which has an i5 12600K. Does fit the LGA 1700 socket and includes thermal paste & mounting brackets for both Intel & AMD sockets. It was a bit of a hassel getting the Intel adapter installed but it does fit. Instructions could have been better though. Seems like good quality & seems to work very well. Keeps my CPU running cool & is pretty quiet. I also like the black color better than the usual ugly beige & brown color scheme this brand usualy in an almost stubborn way colors their coolers. Just wish this brand made more color options & maybe one with RGB lighting. They just need more gaming PC friendly options. Other than that seems like a well made cooler for under $100 & gets the job done.

Absolutely phenomenal performance and super pleasing to the eye!
I had to build a super tiny mini-itx computer for a dedicated amateur radio SDR rig. This Noctua NH-U9S fit the bill perfectly and I don't think I could be happier. I have built so many computers in the last 25 years that I lost count of how many. Under normal circumstances, I would never use a 92mm fan version of a CPU cooler...never! Most of my builds would be triple or double 120mm's fans [AIO] or even 140mm fans. I did not have a choice on this mini-itx build because nothing else would fit. This Noctua NH-U9S keeps the CPU cool as a cucumber, is utterly silent and is actually appealing to the eye too! Couldn't ask for much more! A+++

Worked great in our Acer Predator gaming PC, dropped temps vs. stock CPU fan
My son's Acer Predator gaming PC was running way too hot in some of his games with the stock CPU fan, to the point of where the system was slowing down since it exceeded normal-range temps. The case of that PC does not have enough room to drop in an AIO, or water-cooler, so we decided to try this, based on some other positive reviews we read, since the dimensions show it would fit the existing case. High temps dropped 20-30 degrees after installing this, so it was more economical, and far less hassle than moving the motherboard and peripherals to a new case. Two notes: 1. You can optionally add a second fan to the tower, essentially a push-pull set up. I bought the second fan, but we didn't use it, and returned it. The temp dropped well enough with one fan, and we noticed there wasn't a second power drop for a second fan, so rather than wait and order a Y adapter, we found it cooled well enough with just one fan. 2. For the Acer Predator specifically, you'd need to remove the motherboard from the case, to get to the CPU cooler mounts from the underside (no removable panel on the case to get under the board), but a trick we found online was to use M3-0.5 12mm machine screws, availably at Home Depot and Lowes for literally like 50 cents, and then you can do everything from the top side of the motherboard, with no need to remove it. End result was even in the most intensive games, the CPU is not overheating anymore. Worth the money, for sure!

High quality fan and great performance.
Amazing quality CPU fan. Probably the best I've ever purchased up until this point. Was easy to install and came with various color accent pieces in the box for further customization. The ability to be able to add a 2nd fan was also very helpful. Works great with my recent Windows 11 Desktop build.

Super Kühler!!! Ich hatte bei meinem Acer Predator Orion 3000 beim zocken wie zb 7 Day to die, immer 90grad und er hat die Leistung reduziert, mit dem Kühler bin ich bei 66-67 grad, einfach der Wahnsinn!

Very good cooler. It lowered the CPU temperature by about 20 degrees (i7 14700 KF). It is a fairly quiet cooler. I had to buy extra screws to install it.

Excelente solución para enfriar el CPU y cabe perfectamente en casi cualquier gabinete (excepto gabinetes tipo "slim") Yo lo instalé con un CPU Ryzen 5 5600X y puedo decir que es mucho mas eficiente que un enfriamiento líquido de 120mm además de ser increíblemente silencioso

Al principio tenía algo de dudas sobre la funcionalidad tan maravillosa del disipador. Lo puse en un Acer predator orion 3000. Elegí este porque es de los pocos que caben en esta torre tan pequeña. El pc está muy bien en general pero venía flojo de refrigeración de fábrica, aunque con cooler máster. En cualquier cosa algo más exigente se ponía el procesador a 89-90°, eso es una barbaridad, rozando el límite ya. Después de poner noctua, desde el primer momento, los mismos programas y juegos de antes, mismas características, 25-30° menos que antes, de momento (3 días) ha llegado máximo a 65 °. Eso es la ostia de bajada de temperatura. Me sorprendí para bien, pero que vamos. Esperaba alguna mejora pero tanto ni imaginaba. Y luego el montaje super fácil. Ni siquiera fue necesario desmontar la placa de Acer. Fue desmontar el viejo, mirar las partes que venían para mí placa (1200lga en mi caso, pero ahí partes y para otros - 1700lx, amd, etc...) y probé 2-3 variantes de montaje sin quitar la placa y colocar el soporte que viene en la caja de atras. Total, en 5 min aprovechando el soporte de fábrica coloque las placas y tornillos necesarios para sujetar el disipador, un poco de pasta térmica después de limpiar el procesador de la vieja (ah, dentro de la caja viene una jeringuilla con pata térmica de la marca noctua, solo eso vale 10 euros, así que un detallazo!), apretar las dos tuercas con muelles para que reparten la pasta y se unan bien el radiador con el procesador, colocar el ventilador y enchufarlo y au. A funcionar. La verdad que una maravilla.
