Been using Noctua coolers for many years but given the, let's face it, ridiculous prices, especially in the face of competition like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit SE, I can't see myself buying any Noctua cooler again until they can hit that price performance ratio.
Yeah, I swapped coolers to a Peerless Assassin as it cooled better, was in the running for quietest, and at a way lower price. Literally cost the same as a single Noctua 120mm fan. The Nexus table comparison was pretty solid.
Ive tried other coolers that says its better than noctuas but the reality is, its noisy. Then you buy other fans to quiet it down, now your paying almost the same amount as noctuas. For me, ill take no risk and just buy noctua coolers and be done with it.
I didnt understand the graphs. I must understand that you tested the same cooler about 10 times with a slightly different fan position? (Is that what you mean by "offset"?) I thought I would see a comparison with a stock cooler, or a liquid cooler ... maybe it's there in the tables, but I got lost.
I had a leftover 5900x so I put it in a Fractal terra but geez the thing gets hot. I have a Noctua NH-L9a because it's what was available at my local pc shop but it's too small for that cpu. I am recently running it on ECO mode but still need a better cooling solution. Thanks for the vid.
I dont know what the coat is made of. I have the same cooler just without the coating and noctuas standard color fan. To me coating is isolating. Thats logic. Its coated with powder paint. I would like to have a look at test of both. Something tells me that the non coated version have a good chance of running cooler.

Very helpful, thank-you!

thanks for the comment, i was thinking of pairing a 5950x with this cooler!
You would think these coolers would cool more that just 100 TDP
will this fit on i7 8700?
Can handle 12700k?
Wish the 40mm fans came in chromax hell chromax everything.
brat sa instara :D
Nekad bio... :P
