Noctua presents NC-U6 dual-heatpipe chipset cooler
Vienna, November 20th 2006 - With the NC-U6, Noctua presents a premium class chipset-cooler designed to efficiently solve heat issues of current mainboard chipsets. The NC-U6 implements a miniature-version of the well proven design of Noctua's award winning NH-U coolers. Sporting 2 Dual-Heatpipes, 29 aluminium fins and soldered joints for optimal heat-transfer, the NC-U6 is the ultimate solution when it comes to silently cooling today's high-end chipsets.
"The increasing heat production of today's chipsets also increases the demand on the cooling solutions", explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO, "the NC-U6 is the first chipset cooler that employs 2 Dual-Heatpipes, enabling it to reliably cool even overclocked chips without the need of an additional fan."
The NC-U6 is shipped with mounting systems for Intel and AMD mainboards, using the existing fastening hooks or push-pin mounting holes. In order to achieve maximum compatibility with mainboards, VGA cards and CPU coolers, the NC-U6 can be turned by up to 120°.
"The different positioning of the chipset on different mainboards is a major problem", says Mag. Roland Mossig, "by designing the mounting mechanism of the NC-U6 so that it can be turned, we could evade a lot of compatibility issues."
Prices and availability
The NC-U6 is available with immediate effect at a price if EUR 24,90 / USD 27,90 via Noctua's official distribution partners.
About Noctua
Noctua arises from a cooperation between the Austrian Rascom Computerdistribution Ges.m.b.H and the Taiwanese Kolink International Corporation and entertains a development partnership with the Austrian Institute of Heat Transmission and Fan Technology (Österreichisches Institut für Wärmeübertragung und Ventilatorentechnik, ÖIWV). These connections form the key to the development of sound-optimised premium components "Designed in Austria": The partnership with the ÖIWV permits the application of scientific measurement instrumentation, methods of calculation and simulation technology in the R&D process. Rascom's long, customer-oriented experience in developing and distributing sound-optimised high-end products ensures a clear focus on the users' needs. The use of Kolink's advanced manufacturing technology and ultra-modern production plants allows Noctua to efficiently implement its technical edge and provide solutions of the highest standard in quality and performance.
