Noctua all-black NH-D15, NH-U12S, NH-L9i, NF-A20, NF-A9, NF-A9x14 and NF-A8 Announced
|
At this year's Computex Taipei trade show, Noctua displayed a wide range of upcoming products and prototypes, including its next-generation 140mm dual tower CPU coolers, a fanless heatsink and all-black versions of the NH-D15, NH-U12S and NH-L9i models. The NF-A12x25 was awarded best case fan of the year by the European Hardware Association and shown in an upcoming black variant. Among a broad range of exclusive products and prototypes, the next generation of Noctua's award-winning NH-D15 and NH-D15S CPU coolers took centre stage: with 7 instead of 6 heatpipes and 10 percent more surface area, the new models will provide further improved cooling performance at high heat loads while assuring excellent PCIe compatibility due to an asymmetrical design inherited from the NH-D15S. Noctua is preparing multi-socket AM4, LGA20xx, LGA115x and dedicated TR4 versions, both of which will come in single and dual fan variants. While the single fan units will provide full compatibility with RAM modules of up to 65mm height, the dual fan ones will further push the limits of air cooling performance. In on-site live demonstrations, the next-generation model outperformed the current NH-D15 by around 1.5°C on 280W heating elements and managed to cool an overclocked AMD Threadripper 2990WX CPU at a heat load of no less than 435W. Squarely aimed at the most demanding enthusiasts, who push their processors to the absolute maximum and for whom every degree counts, the new versions are currently scheduled for the first half of 2020.
