Noctua’s passive cooler listed by Newegg, priced at $ 100

A CPU heatsink referred to as NH-P1, the official launch of which shouldn’t be lengthy any longer.

Rather less than a month in the past, Noctua gave information on Twitter about its passive cooler first seen at Computex 2019. The message was comparatively succinct, because it merely said that the CPU cooler was going to land very quickly. It was briefly listed and subsequently withdrawn by retailer Newegg below the title NH-P1. Its value was $ 100.

Fortuitously, our colleagues from Tom’s Hardware FR took a screenshot of the web page earlier than it was deleted. Unsurprisingly, it encompasses a passive cooler providing 100% silent cooling, or semi-passive however inaudible with an NF-A12x25 LS-PWM 120 fan. When it comes to sockets, there are AM4, AM3 (+), AM2 ( +), FM2 (+) and FM1 on the AMD facet; the LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1200, LGA2066, LGA2011-0 and LGA2011-3 from Intel; observe that the NH-P1 makes use of the SecuFirm2 + mounting system. As well as, this cooler doesn’t encroach on the higher PCIe slot of most ATX and microATX motherboards in line with Noctua.

No exact TDP

Noctua doesn’t danger speaking a TDP; as a substitute, the corporate mentions an inventory of eligible processors, together with the Intel Core i9-9900K and Ryzen 3950X. Thus far, it was urged that this mannequin was able to passively cooling a processor with a TDP of 120 W. Nonetheless, if on the time of Computex 2019, Intel’s Okay chips had a TDP of 95 W, this now not the case for the reason that tenth technology, Comet Lake-S. Certainly, the Okay fashions now show a TDP of 125 W. With a turbine, the cooling capability is logically elevated; it was estimated at 180 W.

Both method, Noctua advises in opposition to utilizing your cooler to overclock processors with a excessive TDP. As well as, the cooling capacities in 100% passive mode being logically very impacted by the thermal situations contained in the case, the corporate ought to talk an inventory of beneficial instances on the time of the official launch.

The Specs web page is now not out there, however we all know that the load of this NH-P1 is round 1.5 kg; the outline on the backside of the web page mentions 6 warmth pipes. Lastly, the NH-P1 can be delivered with NT-H2 thermal paste.
