I purchased the Thermalright SI100 CPU cooler and decided to compare its cooling performance against the Noctua L12 Ghost Edition both fitted with a variety of 120x25mm fans. Without a fan mounted, the Thermalright SI-100 at 74.8mm, is 8.8mm taller than the Noctua L12 GE at 66mm. As a reminder...

I have the one TB version and it works without issue. I did reformat the SSD when I received it before use. It does get fairly warm when doing large file transfers.

I think you will find that Noctua mounting bars have slightly larger diameter mounting posts that the Thermalright mounting bars.

Please advise them that some of us would be willing to purchase at extra cost a second set of mounting bars to allow the cooler to be rotated 90 degrees.

Received the Thermalright AMD AM4 cooler mounting kit today. Forget it. It will not work on the new coolers such as the AXP-X67 or the Silver Soul 135. The angle of the mounting bars is different so the mounting bar posts are not the same distance from the center of the CPU - and just as bad -...

I recently ran a series of CPU cooler / Fan temperature tests using an Gigabyte Aorus X570 ITX motherboard with a Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G using the integrated graphics. The CPU wattage draw for all tests conducted was between 85 to 88 watts in HWInfo. I then moved all components – CPU, RAM, NVMe boot...

In the USA I ordered from Frozencpu.com for $9.95 plus shipping.

Just ordered. Will try out the alternative bars on the AXP 120-X67 when it arrives.

Possibly someone else could offer aftermarket (at additional cost) alternate length mounting bars for ID cooling or Thermalright coolers.

Thank you for the tip about the Thermalright coolers.

I obtained the new small low profile IS-55 CPU cooler from ID-Cooling and have tested its cooling performance and compared it against two larger low profile coolers – the Thermalright AXP120-X67 and the Noctua L12 Ghost Edition. The cooler is tiny – even smaller than I thought it would be from...

High Speed Fan Testing on the Noctua L12 Ghost Edition After earlier questions about possible improved cooling performance with the Phanteks T30 in advanced mode at maximum RPM, I decided to go back and retest my Noctua L12 Ghost Edition (after removing the bottom 92mm fan) with every 120mm fan...

I do want to compare this against the Noctua L12 GE with 25mm top fans.

Sorry I did not see your post until tonight. I tested the Arctic P14 against a number of 120mm fans at: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/noctua-l12-single-versus-dual-fan-performance.17519/#post-264499 Regards,

Arctic P14, Be Quiet! Silent Wings 4 High Speed & Silent Wings Pro 4, Thermalright TL-C14X Case Fan Testing I conducted the first part of 140mm small form factor case fan testing with the four above noted fans. This was to compare their performance as case intake fans. A subsequent test in a...
