Modern CPUs need proper cooling and not everybody wants disco lighting or AIO coolers in their PC cases. Noctua is surely the best choice for those who want the best of traditional cooling. This video comes as a perfect introduction to the world of classic CPU coolers !
I used this cooler on a 7800x3d and getting about 80c 82c ( in a hotter climate ) R23 allcore The NH-U12A is a very good alternative to the d15 and is much smaller ..
On a 1440p config ? Cyberpunk, 7600x, 1080p best quality, 80-85°C I replace it with a peerless 120 and it goes 75-80°C. For this price, this cooler is not to recommended for me.
Yes, I didn't know that so I ordered it separately when I ordered the cooler. The separate brackets ended up getting lost so I said screw it and went ahead to install the cooler without the offset bracket as I had already been waiting a week for the offset brackets. Was very happy to see the offset bracket was included with the cooler. Should have checked the included brackets when I got the cooler, oh well.
@@DarylCrowi have a question if you are able to awnser which brackets are for amd because i got the same cpu cooler but mine has intel and amd 2 brackets have 2 holes on each side and 2 of them have 1 hole on each side
I heard that even for hot CPU'S as the one i have the I7-13700K it works very well. Next week i'll have it. At this moment i only have the Arctic neweer 34
All noctua am4 mounting (except the low profile L9 coolers) work on am5, the only difference is the introduction of the offset mounting. The L9 coolers have their own backplate which isn't supported because it's part of the socket now. Basically if your am4 cooler uses the stock backplate it'll work fine on am5.

Spent more on my Noctua kit than a ps5... and i love it!

Thank you so much for your instructions on installing this!
You're welcome! Hope you enjoyed enough to sub

I recently purchased this cooler and it came with the AMD offset brackets.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing
I just double checked the Noctua website and they started including the brackets in Q4 of last year.

Will the AM5 guide also work for AM4? A lot of people are still on that platform

Nice been looking at this cooler what temps did you get on the AMD and intel CPUs thanks
Decent temps tbh. I only tested with the i9 and stress tests got it to 90 degrees but general gaming was more like 50. Full review tomorrow.
It look so cool ,monster cooling😎.i will own it.Thank you sir 🙏
Enjoy
fits on standard atx card I think what about matx mb ?
Does the cooler come with daisy chain cables or did you get them separately?
I believe it comes with a single y splitter so you can connect both fans to one port.
matx cases are ok for this cooler ?
1 question what about the small bolt in the middle what do you do with that what is for?
speaking of CPU_OPT header, can case fans be plugged into them?
Can this be installed if one is using a contact frame?
greatly appreciated!
Glad to help!
Thanks man
Thanks for watching
@@TheProvokedPrawnHow Are the temps while Gaming ?
ty man !!
you're welcome!
Does the CPU thermal paste guard stay on?
Yes
How Are the temps?
Why do Amd CPUs have an unnecessarily complex design, why not just a rectangle?
Because they don't want to be like Intel ,clashing🤣
