Noctua, not many people really know who they are, but I'm sure with time you will, as they make some of the best products I have seen. The quality of their products is exquisite, as is the performance of them all. I've reviewed quite a few Noctua fans, but today I have the NC-U6 Chipset Cooler, it is essentially a mini heatpipe tower cooling system for your chipset, one thing that makes it really special is that it cools with no fan.

Noctua NC-U6 Chipset-Cooler

The NC-U6 implements a miniature-version of the well proven design of Noctua's award winning NH-U coolers to cool mainboard chipsets.

Sporting 2 Dual-Heatpipes, 29 aluminum fins and soldered joints for optimal heat-transfer, the NC-U6 is the ultimate solution when it comes to silently cooling today's high-end chipsets

Features:

2 Dual-Heatpipes for optimal heat absorption

Using 2 u-shaped Dual-Heat-Pipes, the NC-U6 has sufficient capacity to reliably dissipate even the heat generated by overclocked high-end chipsets.

29 aluminum cooling fins for optimal heat dissipation

Thanks to a surface area of more than 500cm², the cooling fins dissipate the heat extremely fast - without the need of an additional fan!

Soldered joints for optimal heat-transfer

Unlike many other coolers, whose heatpipes are stuck to the base and the fins, the NC-U6 possesses high-grade soldered joints to ensure optimal heat transfer.

Easy installation on Intel and AMD mainboards

The NC-U6 comes with mounting parts for Intel and AMD mainboards and uses the existing fastening hooks or push-pin mounting holes.

Can be turned by up to 120° for maximum compatibility

In order to achieve maximum compatibility with mainboards, VGA cards and CPU coolers, the NC-U6 can be turned by up to 120°.
