Noctua

Hello everyone, sorry for dumb question, recently i made a bit of a mistake, I accidently purchased two 5V noctua NF-A14 1500RPM, instead of normal 12V, i found out I can run them through molex splitter 2x5V black+red, but sadly i dont want them to make too much noise and be stuck at 1500RPM is...

Hello, I have a very lame question, but just to make sure everything goes well... Where exactly should I plug my noctua and my arctic fans on x670e steel legend mb? This is my planned configuration : - 3x Front arctic - daisy chain. - 2x Top arctic + 1 Back - these also in daisy chain if...

Can I rotate a Noctua NH-U9S 90 degrees? I rebuilt my pc in an htpc case and case fans are only oriented from left to right. The Noctua cooler blows towards the back. Can the mount or fan orientation be rotated 90 degrees and if so how?? i5 8600k EVGA 3070sc Asus z370-f 32 Gb Corsair Vengeance...

I currently have a standard 92MM 3 pin fan on my CPU heatsink that spins at full speed. Honestly, temps are great since I removed the front of my case to expose the 120MM fan that was behind it (cheap HP case). But, would a Noctua PWM fan work better? Is it worth swapping it out? Thanks!!

Hello, so I'm considering upgrading my several-years-old PC. What I have: What I may buy: Are the components fully compatible? What issues may I have? Is the upgrade good overall (don't pay attention to the GPU - it will get its upgrade sometime too)? And what concerns me is that Zen 4...

Hi, I've just gotten 6 sets of NF-F14 @ 3000RPM PWM but was wondering if I could use 3 fan splitter cable per motherboard header in my Gigabyte Auros Elite b550? I know 3000RPM is overboard but I got them second hand and they were really really cheap so I decided to get them (12 bucks each)...

Hi all, did a similar thread a couple weeks back but I recently swapped out my cooler as it wasn't keeping temps in check for the chonky noctua to d15 and idle temps have improved drastically around 35 degrees but in stress tests its shooting up to 97 to 100 degrees in under a minute. Tried...

I have both a spare L9i and a spare stock AMD Wraith Stealth, and one of them is going into an entry level gaming PC for a non-tech-literate friend. I've heard that stock coolers aren't really garbage these days (I havent been building PCs regularly for many years), and both of these things are...

Hi guys I am currently using a I7 13700K on my Lian Li 215 Case. Due to Ram clearance My CPU cooler NOCTUA NHD15 CROMAX is mounted up side down. Meaning Fans are pointing towards the Top of the case. When On idle My temps are 40C. When gaming temps are somewhere in the...

Hello guys, I am debating between the two air coolers below for my all black build. The price in my country are the same for both at about 120$. My question is if the temperatures are identical and if they can overclock the cpu. https://noctua.at/en/nh-u12a-chromax-black...

Wondering if any one has any ideas on how to add fans to the Hyte Revolt 3 case between the front panel and GPU I've thought about maybe picking up this magnetic screw set from Amazon, but wasn't sure if these would work or how I feel about sticking magnets in the PC...

I am currently using a I7 13700K with a Noctua NHD15. My Normal Temp while on idel stays at somewhere like 35 to 40 Degree Celsius. I usually Use Adobe PP To Render videos. But when I Do that Temp goes to like 95C. While gaming It stays around 45 to 60. Is that normal for this CPU? I have...

For my mITX i am planning to go with air cooler instead of aio(not convinced). First I was thinking about the noctua nh-u12a but this cooler doesnt fit with the tempered glass panel. I know there are other good options like scythe mugen 5, scythe fuma2 and some noctua coolers. So what is the...

Hey! I just ordered my 13900KF and I'm planning to use my Noctua NH-D15 to cool it but the reviews have me worried a bit as the CPU seems to get hot. Gaming is the heaviest workload I use my PC for. Thanks!

I've got a ryzen 3900X and I have a Noctua NH-La-AM4. is this good or good enough to keep this cpu cool?

Hi everyone, I recently updated my system and while testing my i9-10900 it's reaching 100 degrees on Cinebench. The thing is I have a beQuiet! Silent Loop 2 360, and 6 more fans in my case. It's a Lian Li o11 Dynamic, and the config is for the 3 rear and 3 bottom fans (12mm Noctua Chromax Black)...

Hello, this is my first build and I'm building it alone, so i don't know what's happening. After i finish build my pc, i turned it on, all parts seems works but motherboard on with orange light then monitor gives no display and keyboard's light off. And i directly turn the pc off then start...

Hello all. I have been using non brand (frisby it says on the plate) as rear exhaust fan. Recently saw real good deal for noctua nf-f12. I know it is best for radiators but still wanted to ask. Do you think it would be good for rear exhaust fan? I have Arctic P12 in front as intake.

I replaced my old low RPM OEM fans in my PC with new Noctua redux fans but now they don't spin up until my PC starts booting windows and when the computer is first turned on I get the error "CPU Fan Failure!" (even though all 3 don't spin up). I feel that it might be bad for my computer because...

I got a Fractal Design - Define 7 XL. In it there's a Nexus+ 2 Fan Hub. It supports 3x 4-pin PWM. Problem is I got 4x PWM fans (Noctua NF-A14) 140mm 3x Front Intake 1x Exhaust I intend to have the exhaust plugged in the hub. Leaving 2x PWM left on the hub. So I was thinking plugging 2 front...

Hello, I just purchased an used Noctua NH-D15s so it doesn't bring Noctua's stock thermal paste, which means I'll have to buy the paste separately. What is the best one I can get for this cooler hooked up to a 3700x? Thank you!

After using Arctic Silver 5 for my laptop, and reapplied it with the pea method many times carefully, I've noticed temperatures before a year start fluctuating so I think I should switch over to a new paste. I'm looking for a paste that will perform very well for many years without needing to...

I have the following setup: Case: Fractal Torrent Compact (two front fans 180mm, which I think are intakes) CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D15S with one fan (Noctua logo facing the rear side of the case) I have two questions about what I should do with my Noctua NF-A15 fan which I luckily got for a...

Just upgraded my system to a 5600X with new mobo and Noctua NH-12A cooler. Noctua's directions seemed to indicate which fan should go on which side of the cooler, but after install it seems to be blowing toward the front of the case. Here's a pic: View: https://imgur.com/a/3GeGA6u . The...

Hi, I built my PC about three years ago and have been struggling to get adequate noise levels and temperatures ever since with my 9700k. I started with two stock fans and a Cryorig H7 and have since upgraded a number of components which are the following: i7-9700k (stock/4.6ghz turbo)...

Hello, I have the AUSS ROG STRIX Z 490-F and is planning to upgrade my cooling a little, but I am wondering how (I am really new to this and there is probably a really simple solution how) how do I get 9 NF-P12s in a single case when the motherboard has only 2 headers? and also if there is...

What is the best Air flow setup for a Fractal Design Meshify 2, I am planning of buying a NH-D15 and 9 Noctua NF-P12 as case fans, I have never really cared/looked into air flow, so I dont really know anything about it, or does it even matter that much?

Hello everyone! Before I get to it a little intro on the background of my current, Ok-ish workstation with an threadripper 1900x on a MSI x399 SLI PLUS, cooled by a Noctua, with 64 of sloooow ram (got it to like 1400 with XMP) and a 1080 GPU. To be honest I intended to do an upgrade on or a...

Hey! Here's my updated list, I just got the 3080 so there's the point of no return. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QjN9fP Important is that it's a quiet build, I initially wanted to give it a nice look with distinct RGB, but then realized the updated CPU 5900x needs as much cooling as it...

Hi so i wanted to know if the NH-L9x65 would giving about the same cooling performance as my Deepcool Gammaxx 400s because right now i am using the Cooler Master NR400 ODD case with a triple slow EVGA GTX 1660 in my system and was thinking when i would replace my GPU for a double slot GPU that i...

I'm looking into possibly doing a Mini ITX build in the DAN A4-SFX, and I've seen a lot of people recommend the Noctua NH-L9i as a great cooler, but I'm not sure if it will fit with the RAM I have in a Mini ITX system. I'm going to use an older CPU and RAM I have, so the RAM is the Corsair...
