Noctua NH-U9, U12S, U14S TR4-SP3 Threadripper cooler review

We test and review we take three Noctua CPU coolers to the test, specifically design for Ryzen Threadripper for X399 motherboards with Socket TR4/SP3. All three coolers tested have recently been introduced into the channel with kicks performance and versus some really nice airflow PWM controlled fan, let's check out the review, shall we?

Nice review, but it is missing Noctua U14S two fan push-pull test.
My guess is that TR OC@4.0Ghz temps would be under 80 Degrees C.
Hilbert, is there any chance to add U14S push-pull performance results to review?
Tnx.

I was thinking the same thing, DaSick and Hilbert. I'm not sure about below 80 degrees, but they'd be close to that.

While these threadripper Noctua coolers aren't bad, what I don't understand is why they didn't just take the NH-D14 or NH-D15 CPU cooler & modify the contact plate for threadripper - those 2 coolers are a lot beefier than the ones in this article, and being twin tower are also more efficient. Considering threadripper can chew through a significant amount of Watts I really don't know why they didn't adapt the monstrous NH-D14/NH-D15!

I would agree there with adapting NH-D15 or NH-D14 for TR socket,maybe they'll release these coolers for TR but if its not needed, I would assume they're done few in house tests with NH-D15 or D14
I have run NH-D15 on 5820k with 4.5Ghz or 4.6Ghz and no issues,then tried NH-D15 on my 5960x with 4.5Ghz or 4.6Ghz OC and still temperatures are very good and very similar to the my custom water loop, temperatures are higher by 4-5°C on PKG in OCCT than on my custom water loop
Hope this helps
Thanks, Jura

Why do I see 1.440v core voltage on CPU-Z then?
Above the NH-U9, the Threadripper 1950X with its 16 cores @ 4.0 GHz / 1.38v.
Why do I see 1.440v core voltage on CPU-Z then?

Oh yeah, just checked what you were referring to - yep CPUz stating 1.44V instead of the 1.38V quoted in the article text & graphs. I wonder if the other coolers in the comparison graphs were tested at 1.44V too, because otherwise it would not be a fair test if the CPU was at different voltages for different coolers. Hopefully Hilbert can comment on your observation.

Nice review! Page 9 both images have title of idle when the second should say load
