NH-U12S TR4-SP3,NH-U14S TR4-SP3,NH-U9 TR4-SP3
The Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 proves the best of the Noctua based coolers which are expected. The higher performance NF-A15 PWM fan made all the difference and with more weight and a slightly bigger frame, for performance users, the U-14S proves the cream of the crop. For users looking for a lower profile option and don’t perhaps want to overclock a processor such as the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, the Noctua NH-U9 performs superbly in our testing, dropping around 5-6c from the U-14S which was surprising. The Noctua NH-U12S as expected sits middle of the road and competes pretty well with the bigger U-14S model.
"Noctua is famed for their CPU coolers and the NH-D14/D15 are some of the most recognisable on the market. With a more specialist and high-performing socket such as TR4, or the professional SP3 socket, a good quality product is needed." (Paul Davies, Play3r.net)
