The Noctua NC - U6 Chipset Cooler performed extremely well. By showing a 3 degree difference, the chipset cooler proved to have excellent passive cooling properties which in turn also contribute to overall system noise reduction. If your stock cooler ...
Very good Performance, Two very efficient heatpipes, Large aluminum surface area, Compatible with many motherboards
Poor performance at stock settings, The copper base is a bit rough, An optional silent fan would have been ideal
Overall I was very satisfied with the Noctua NC-U6. The silent design, without a fan is very effective. The Noctua NC-U6 was able to cool down the chipset much better than the original stock cooler, although proper air circulation inside the case is cr...
Abstract: The Noctua NC-U6 is an example of trickle-down technology. The tower design is a proven method of reducing temps on CPUs, so there is no reason why it could not work for chipsets as well. And like the CPU versions, the chipset version may run into cl...
Great Appearance, Fantastic cooling performance, Solid copper base, High quality construction, Flexible mounting options
May Not Fit All Configurations or Motherboards, No included fan or hardware to mount a fan
Noctua was founded on the premise of making products with outstanding quality and they surely come through with this chipset cooler. There is nothing more that I can really say here about that cooler that hasnt already been mentioned previously in thi...
Completely silent design, Multiplatform compatibility, Aluminum fins and heatpipes are designed and installed for maximum heat dissipation
Slightly more expensive than some chipset coolers, but, you do get what you pay for
Overall, the Noctua NC-U6 makes a great chipset cooler. It's design allows it to work on almost any system with ease. Noctua's attention to detail and manufacturing quality also assures it will perform extremely well for the money. If you're l...
Abstract: Many computer motherboards still cool their chipsets with a standard aluminum heatsink and a small fan. While these may work fine at first, the fans tend to break down or become noisy, or just arent sufficient when overclocking. Motherboard chipsets ...
Abstract: When we talk about building quiet, cool systems, our focus naturally tends to remain on the big hitters with regard to noise and heat output such as GPU and CPU coolers, and beyond that power supplies and chassis fans. One item that weve never real...
Flexible design, Compatible with all Northbridge chipsets, Good performance, Silent operations, Good documentation
None so far
The Noctua NC-U6 chipset cooler is one of those rare components that has both solid performance and silent operations at the same time. The cooler also has a flexible design that offers improved performance over a stock chipset cooler. The design takes...
I can highly recommend this product for anyone that is looking to replace their noisy, stock chipset cooling. If you have a motherboard based on either an Intel or Nvidia chipset, you will definitely want to acquire this product. ATi chipsets may not ...
Whichever way you look at the Noctua NC-U6, there's not a lot to detract from its performance as a whole. Exceptional build quality, platform compatibility and proven performance all make the NC-U6 a worthy contender for your hard earned cash. Whilst I wo...
