Noctua NH-U12S Redux CPU cooler review: Noctua enters the budget market with coolers
This is the first cooler of the Redux series, to which Noctua transfers some models, making them cheaper for the mass market. It uses a familiar tower structure with 4 heat-conducting tubes, and you can get a second fan for an additional fee.

Bag test of Noctua NF-F12 and NF-A14 chromax.black.swap fans
We will test with the help of a garbage bag fans that are designed to emphasize the pronounced personality of your computer, especially if it is assembled in a snow-white case.
The management of Noctua constantly claims in their interviews that RGB in fans is nonsense, and it is better to spend time developing something really unique in terms of design than to succumb to the general red-blue-green madness. Of course, it sounds beautiful, but Noctua could not ignore the trends in the field of ...
A new look at server immersion cooling: news from the OCP consortium
We take a powerful server and immerse it in a tank of liquid, then apply voltage and hope that no sparks fly. But maybe we should be afraid of something else: continue to build data centers with a service life of more than 10 years, the cooling of which depends solely on air flows? How sustainable is an industry that spends more on providing electricity to rotating fans than it does on powering processors?
It's still hard to get used to this spectacle: we take a powerful server and immerse it ...
Comparison of three Noctua coolers for workstations based on AMD EPYC 7000
Due to the gigantic dimensions of the socket, coolers for TR4 / SP3, as a rule, are placed in a separate category and are not compatible with anything else (this does not apply to SVO). We'll compare the top three Noctua remote cooling systems and see how they differ from each other.
AMD EPYC processors have a multicrystal layout (so-called chiplets), which makes the CPU bulky in terms of size, and, apparently, the tendency to increase their CPU size will continue in the future. Since the ...
