Whichever way you look at the Noctua NC-U6, there's not a lot to detract from its performance as a whole. Exceptional build quality, platform compatibility and proven performance all make the NC-U6 a worthy contender for your hard earned cash. Whilst I wo...
Good cooling performance, Excellent mounting solutions, Quality construction, Wide compatibility
Expensive, No fan mounting solution, Unimpressive base finish
A product that does what it says it will always impresses me. While the cooling performance of Noctuas NC-U6 is what the end user ultimately wants in a product like this, one cant ignore the other things that it brings to the table. The simple, cle...
Sammanfattning: Noctua made quite a splash with their high end NH-U series of heatsink, delivering high performance at low noise levels, this miniature tower version fits on your northbridge and is passively cooled for total silence. Can it keep a hot nForce4 SLI chip...
Excellent passive performance, Smaller than other heatpipe chipset coolers, Excellent price tag in US and acceptable price tag in Canada
Installation takes a bit of patience and coordination, Like all heatpipe chipset coolers, size will factor in on some motherboards
With silent operation becoming more and more of a factor in computer purchasing decisions, it is essential that every component in a computer can be cooled passively. This list of components includes motherboards because many chipsets come with active ...
Excellent passive cooling upgrade, Could be used with a fan (not included), (Relatively) universal installation, Slim design fits in tight places (like between SLI video cards), Reasonably priced
Limited orientation angles, Limited availability
The Noctua NC-U6 Heatpipe Chipset Cooler is an excellent choice for those looking for a significant upgrade in the chipset cooling department. It provides excellent performance that would make it appealing to overclockers and gamers, while offering abs...
Totally silent, Inexpensive retailing at approx £16, Would make a good upgrade over stock cooling, Could possibly mount a fan to it if you desired / space allowed.
Doesn’t seem to sit square on my motherboard, Finish on contact area could have been better in my opinion.
The NC-U6 isn’t expensive at approx £16 and would definitely make an excellent upgrade to the stock cooler on any motherboard it will fit. It’s performance it pretty much the same as the Nexus which I compared it too today and to be honest oth...
For ~£14 ($27.99) this is expensive. The cooler is damn good, and manages to cool while making no noise whatsoever, but you do pay a premium for this performance. Stock chipset coolers will be fine for the normal user, but will make noise; the NC-U6 w...
Sammanfattning: Can you hear it? Silence, thats one of the calling cards for the Noctua NC-U6 chipset cooler we will be looking at today. This chipset cooler features heatpipe cooling, 29 aluminum fins, soldered connections and you guessed it, no fans. With todays ...
sehr gute Verarbeitung, sehr gute Kühlleistung, hohe Leistungsreserven, geringes Gewicht, Einbau über die Hakenbefestigung sehr einfach, komplette Ausstattung, gutes PreisLeistungsverhältnis (ca. 25€).
Pushpin Montage nur bei ausgebautem Mainboard möglich, keine polierte Bodenplatte, Kompatibilität nicht zwangsläufig gegeben.
Der Noctua NC-U6 Chipsatzkühler erweist sich als ausgezeichneter Chipsatzkühler und das sowohl passiv als auch aktiv. Das Problem ist nur, das viele Mainboard Layouts einen Einsatz des Kühlers nicht gerade vereinfachen. Auf dem Redaktionsrechner wurde ...
Sammanfattning: Die Prozessorkühlung hat sich erst vor 15 Jahren in den Desktop-PCs eingebracht. Davor - und auch danach - waren viele Prozessoren noch gänzlich ohne einen Kühlkörper – geschweige den einen Lüfter – betriebsfähig. Eine Vorstellung, die heute absolut undenkbar erscheint. Selbst die besten Stromspar-Prozessoren können sich diesen Luxus nicht mehr erlauben. Der stetige Ko...
