    I love this compact, discreet Noctua, you can't hear it and it does its job very well (not suitable for OC).

    Ultra-easy to install

    Installed in the FRACTAL DESIGN RIDGE tower with an i7 12700K. Simply installs with 4 screws, no rear support required.
    Supplied with a large quantity of thermal paste. Very quiet. Clear, but needs to be tested over time.
