So like I mentioned in the performance section, at the end of the day there is no way to pick any one cooler as the winner here. There are just too many variables with the amount of room you have in your build being the biggest one. Obviously, if you...
The conclusion leaves me with the same thoughts that I have when I review any Noctua cooler and those are the thoughts of reviewing an excellently crafted product. Noctua coolers are known across the board for outstanding quality and it's shown even furth...

Abstract: If you're a regular visitor to the pages of OC3D you'll no have noticed a bit of dearth of cooler reviews. The reason for this is simple, we've retired the old 2011 rig and have been busy specking up and putting together a new test rig. Not that the 2011...

Midrange performance, Fans may have a strange resonance at full speed
The Noctua NH-D9L is a great product, designed for those who need a front to back airflow without compromising on aural performance. Dual fan mode on our 65w test system wasn't spectacular, but at higher wattages, I expect the cost to benefit ratio of the...

Price (For Some),
When i took the NH-D9L out of the box i was quite impressed to see that Noctua managed to manufacture such a compact D-Type dual heatsink tower and of course i was quite interested to see how it would perform. As a matter of fact i liked the dua...
The Noctua NH-D9L and NH-U9S CPU coolers provide an interesting comparison to the normal super high-end air coolers we've seen from the vendor. Both feature the standard stunning aesthetics common to Noctua coolers - chromed bodies with tan and brown fans...
