        The best in its class.

        Mounted on a Ryzen 5900x, in a fairly compact RAIJINTEK METIS EVO case, German (Austrian) quality. Easy mounting on AM4 socket (adapter kit included).

        Perfect

        I chose this fan to cool a ryzen 5 1600AF. I wanted something small enough in case I switch to an ITX case, and slippery enough. So I'm very happy with it!
        One of the negative reviews here mentions the anti-vibration corners of the fan, so yes it's a very soft material, but I didn't particularly find mounting the fan difficult, and I don't think you need to remove the fan from the radiator very often, so for me it's not very annoying :)

        Ultra quiet and high performance

        Clear instructions even if English. The drawings are very explicit.
        Once mounted, this fan is very quiet.

        Easy to install, quiet and efficient

        Bought to cool my Ryzen 5600X efficiently and "silently", does the job expected. It fits into my Silverstone Lascala LC13-E case (HTPC) without any problem, it cools correctly despite the relative lack of air inlets in the case and above all, with the 2 other 80 mm fans at the back, it is almost forgotten.
        Compared to the horizontal Be Quiet! that I had for the previous processor, its mounting principle is well thought out and was done without any problems or sweating!

        Perfect

        As I know very little about it, and having chosen this component on the advice of a friend, I am fully satisfied!

        Super silent, everything runs perfectly!

        Silence has a price

        Fan used on an 1151 bracket. Installation in this frame is incredibly simple! And as always with Noctua, the results are there. Without any further modification of my machine, I gain more than 10° on the processor under load. In normal use, I have to look at the fan to see if it is running... it is so quiet. I recommend this product, even if it is expensive; it more than does the job!

        All in silence.

        A good quiet fan, my cpu is at 31°c out of the game.
        It takes up some space, I couldn't put the fan on the ram side but it's not too much of a problem. The version with two fans would not have fit.
        I took this one so that it would serve me for a long time, I don't know how I would modify my configuration afterwards, but without OC the cpu I don't think it's very useful to take such a big one.

        Assembly

        I couldn't get it to work. I've put the old one back in, now my pc turns on but doesn't boot anymore. If anyone has had this problem or if anyone can give me a hand or advice via here, I'm interested. Thanks

        Great!

        I had a big problem of overheating with an original Intel ventirad (thermal paste incorporated) which made my i5-8600K suffer ... Quite energy consuming.
        It's quite simple, under BF1 I was reaching the T°c Max (95-100) ... And it was unplayable. Even in idle I was around 70-80, that's to say.
        Now, it's night and day, 45°C in idle and 65-70 in Full.
        The product is beautiful, the finish perfect, very easy to install, and everything is supplied with it.
        Frankly I am really happy! Buy it with your eyes closed.
        Fits perfectly in a mini-ITX tower. Nothing touches, it's just perfect.
        A bit expensive but it does the job because of the perfect design.

        Expected results

        Bought to quietly cool a 4460 (the stock ventirad makes quite a bit of noise), in a stress test the CPU does not exceed 65 degrees, all being very quiet.

        The ventirad is very compact, so there should be no incompatibility problems with either the case or RAM.

        Noctua invents soft corners

        This is my third Noctua fan, so I bought it and an additional NOCTUA NF-A9 PWM fan with confidence. The mounting on the motherboard went well until it was time to mount the fans on the radiator. The thickness of the anti-vibration wedges is important for a correct mounting, otherwise there is some play. The quality of the anti-vibration wedges is the key to this: this is where it all goes wrong.
        The rubber corners are not permanently attached to the fans. Do not rely on the product pictures. They are separate elements, soft as gelatin. They are loosely fitted by two tabs into the holes provided. The corner itself then sits limply on the corner of the fan. It's so cheap, unstable and fragile that I still haven't come back from Noctua. I feel like I've bought a sub-brand at the price of a big brand.
        To cut a long story short, the corners wouldn't stay in place, so I eventually kicked them out and filled in the missing gaps with vertically engaged rubber screws. I was then able to clip the fans on. It certainly fits, but the DIY I had to resort to is unworthy of a brand like Noctua, which is wrong to botch the finishing of its products to the detriment of its customers. For my part, and with regret because the quality of the cooling remains remarkable, this was my last purchase of a product from this brand.

        small but strong

        I hesitated with its big brother (the NH_D15) for more airflow but I didn't know if it would fit with the low profiles and especially with my gtx strix 1080ti.

        I've been using it for a couple of days now and the processor (i7 7800X) has not gone up more than 55°.

        to see after overclocking...

        Excellent!

        Easy to install and above all incredibly quiet despite the "modest" size of the fan. With a Corsair RM550x 80PLUS Gold semi active PSU, I can't hear my PC when I turn it on...

        I had an Arctic Freezer 13 before and the difference is huge !

        Excellent

        Very good product, as is often the case with Noctua. The assembly is very simple and really within the reach of everyone.

        The less initiated will take the time to look at the assembly diagram and the explanations ;-)

        My I57600k does not exceed 40°C under full load.

        So cool

        Bought this to replace the base ventirad on an intel i5-3450 in a mid tower case.
        The quality of the product is exemplary and the accessories supplied allow for all types of mounting (key supplied).
        In the case it has a perfect size because it does not encroach on the slots for RAM memory.
        The performance is just exceptional! My CPU maxes out at 40°C in game with an extremely quiet fan.
        It's like night and day with my old fan, a must have for me!

        High quality product

        5 stars for the quality of the material.

        Easy assembly, easy installation.

        A second fan can be mounted on it to increase its efficiency.

        Be careful though, it is quite large and does not necessarily fit in all configurations. Check before you buy.

        Must have

        Surprisingly easy to install.
        Efficiency true to the brand.

        Overclocking an i5 6600k from 3.5 to 4.2 with an average benchmark temperature of 60°.

        As usual, LDLC delivery and packaging is top notch.

        Thanks LDLC!

        Impeccable

        I'm using it since yesterday as a spare spart and it's doing its job well with a 6900k behind it :)
        The temperature on the desk is 46° and in a game is 65°, it's not the best but it's more than enough for me until my watercooling is repaired

        At the top!

        Very happy with this fan which fits perfectly in my zalman t5 tower and on my msi H110m card.
        Very easy to install, quiet and cools well. Well worth the price.

        Simple to place and effective...

        The product is top notch, easy to install, does the job with an i5 6600k, but the package was a bit big in proportion to the contents, so the box was crushed, but fortunately the package was fine.

        Super performance

        It keeps my i7 6700K below 65°C easily, in game I am rather under 60°C.

        Noctua indicates on its website that it will rather be a light overclocking with this cooler.

        In any case excellent quality (which is why I bought a Noctua cooler in the first place) not disappointed at all!

        Does its work in silence

        In a Corsair Obsidian 250D case, it cools an i5 6600 with no problem.
        In my first fan arrangement, the processor rarely went above 40° in use and stayed at 25° at rest or light work.

        Since I changed the airflow arrangement to lower the temperature of the graphics card, the fan has less cool air and yet allows the processor to stay at 50° under the same conditions of heavy use as before, so nothing bad :).

        It remains efficient whatever happens and all in silence and that's nice!

        Perfect

        I bought it to cool my CPU. What can I say except that the result is excellent. Temperatures are 10 to 15° lower than with my old Ventirad (original Intel Ventirad).
        I recommend it.
        Be careful, it's a big ventirad, so you need a big enough case, and not too high RAM bars!

        Well-made product

        Very good product, very simple assembly, clear instructions. Mounted on an i5 6500 and a MSI B150m Pro VD motherboard, small footprint that does not interfere with the ram strips and graphics card, efficient cooling, absolute silence.

        Price too high.

        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to check it out and see if it's working properly.

        simpler you die

        Assembly done on an ASrock X99 extreme 4 + I7 5960X motherboard.
        For this socket 2011-3 there is just to aim the RAD on the motherboard (with some small addition to raise) but it is of a simplissime, no need to pass by the back of the motherboard.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same system as the other one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use the same system as the other one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to use the same system as the other one.

        What silence!

        Very efficient fan despite its modest size!
        It fits in my mini ITX case (in win 901)
        By setting the fan to the minimum (i.e. 20% and 400rpm) it is totally silent (even with the tower open and next to the screen)
        I5-6500 processor at 42° idle and 54 under load
        Of course by increasing the fan slightly you can lower the temperatures a lot more, but I prefer absolute silence :)
        Very satisfied with Noctua, it's my 2nd fan from this brand.
        Only slight defect, their famous ugly colour ^^

        Noctua always on top

        I've always had a soft spot for Noctua fans.
        So when I changed my configuration to an i7 5820k, I naturally turned to this brand.
        And as for my previous configurations, I am amazed by the reliability of this very important component.
        In any case, as soon as you receive the beast, the packaging is already reassuring in itself. It is clean, well designed and the little extra, the thermal paste is provided!

        So why deprive yourself?
