#2Was looking at these yesterday since I'm contemplating using it to make my desktop (3700X) quiet when retiring it to server duty
I saw a nice price drop on them too (30%)

#5Is there a good aggregation of cooler performance somewhere? I've recently completed a build for the first time in a decade and was pleasantly surprised by tools like PC Part Picker, the assembly was a breeze (many micro improvements by everyone), and everything 'just worked'.
Literally the only question I was out cold for was which cooler is good enough? With some coolers rivaling RAM costs and cases having fixings for radiators... it really leaves you thinking. Then again, I left it on stock and have hooked temps into prometheus and everything seems fine so far...

#7Hope these catch on. There have been a handful passive coolers for mainstream desktop CPUs that have been released over the past two decades, but they never became very popular.

Yeah, the ad-funded model and how that supports reviewers seems to have damaged well structured and comprehensive independent review sites. It's all in videos or really low-effort stuff nowadays, and that makes it hard to draw conclusions without significant effort - and even then, considerable risk of drawing the wrong conclusions.
I think this affects far more than just coolers; it's simply that for categories that have few options (say, CPUs) it's easier to slog through all the youtube videos, and there still exist a few text-based reviewers.
But cases, ram, motherboard AIB versions, GPU AIB versions... even power supplies often - reviews are suprisingly sparse and hard to compare and rarely comprehensive.

#9This does look interesting, PC building has improved by bounds and bounds in recent times, giving me better performance and longevity for my money. This fanless design is worth a consideration, the current go-to for people who want silence is AIO liquid coolers. They aren't terrible but do affect radiator placement. If this NH P1 can be prove viable for gaming setups it might take off.
> Nonetheless, I strapped on Noctua’s NF-A15 fan and tested the NH-P1 again. The added fan increased the total cooling capacity from 150W to 200W in long term cooling scenarios.
A photo of this setup would be quite useful

#10This cooler itself doesn't have a fan, but it looks like the test system has at least 4 large case fans, including 2 directly inline with the cooler. And sounds from the text like the fans were spinning.
I love Noctua, but a totally fanless system would be a more interesting test.
