NH-P1
The silent performance is the best advantage with the Noctua NH-P1 as a cooling fan is not strictly required for operation. It is important to note Noctua provides special instruction for how to make the most out of the passive cooler, something we could not accommodate for in our comparison tests. Even though the NH-P1 had higher temperature readings than the compared coolers, it is still quite impressive that a cooler with no fan was able to keep an enthusiast CPU cool with no issues and even matching an all-in-one liquid unit with a fan attached. Other positives include the solid build quality Noctua is known for. Despite being a very large cooler, the NH-P1 is compatible with modern hardware. The installation process was just as easy as any Noctua cooler we have reviewed in the past, which is always nice.
"Overall, the Noctua NH-P1 is an achievement to be appreciated. This is a great product for those looking to start passive cooling with the goal of crafting a system that emits as little noise as possible." (Jonah Chow, APHNetworks.com)
