None that I found
We know Noctua for some of the best air coolers out there, but normally their coolers are quite large and are made for full-size PC builds. It is much harder to shrink down an air cooler and still have the same type of performance. Well it looks like Noc...

Pricey, Might Interfere With RAM Modules, Limited 95W TDP (NH-L12)
People recognize Noctua products when they see one because of the color scheme that they use on their fans and that's what makes Noctua unique from different manufactures. Noctua has gained a lot of positive recognition in the cooling market because of th...
The Noctua NH-U9B SE2 CPU cooler performed well, especially if you keep in mind that it is a “compact” cooler, being only 4.9 inches (125 mm) tall. It is not aimed at super-hyper gaming computers built inside huge cases, but at computers mounted on small...
Abstract: The LNA and ULNA fan-slowing resistors are not worth bothering with if you have a motherboard or a rheobus that allows you to control the fans corectly...

Quiet fans, High quality "feel", 6 year warranty, Small footprint

Tall RAM Heatsinks will not clear the first DIMM slot of some motherboards, Editor's Choice
The Noctua U9B-SE2 is an excellent heatsink for those who have mATX cases that do not have enough height clearance to install larger tower heatsinks (like the Noctua U9B-SE2's bigger brother, the Noctua U12P-SE2) also because of the very effective and ...
After thermal testing, one could conclude that the Noctua NH-U9B SE2 made minimal if any thermal difference. However, it is important to note that the rate of temperature increase was a lot slower. So under standard operating or gaming conditions I di...
