Performance
Noctua is one of the best air cooling manufacturers in the world and that immediately shows in our stock clocks benchmarks, with some of the best results we’ve seen from any air cooler on the market. Low idle temperatures and amazingly low load temperatures that best many other products with ease; the numbers speak for themselves.
When overclocked, we’re obviously putting a lot of strain on the cooler, but it still puts up some impressive figures, beating out many other air coolers and performing well enough that I’d be comfortable running this overclock and cooler full time.
Another staggeringly good result here, with virtually silent performance from the cooler, although I wouldn’t have expected anything else from a Noctua fan, as you can see, they dominate the charts for super quiet performance.
Even when we put on the overclocks, the cooler still delivered some of the best results we’ve ever seen. You have to get so close that the fan blades are hitting your ears before you’re going to hear this thing, a truly stunning result overall.
