Noctua Assassin? suitable for computer components

R5 1600 @ 3.5 inch Geeek A50 This is some strong stuff. It's quieter than the Noctua NF-A9x14 case fan and honestly has great thermal performance. Thermal performance appears to be slightly better than the standard Wraith Spire cooler and has smaller clearance for SFF cases. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. I wish I had a flat Noctua cooler to compare to, but at least it's on par with some of the reference thermals I've seen online. It's a bit noisy at 100%, but I've never had to…

Best Option for Fractal Node 202 Build

I replaced the Noctua NH-L9i Chromax CPU cooler in my Fractal Node 202 build and found that my temperature dropped by about 5-6Β° on average under load C sank. The average CPU temperature under load is around 69 degrees. When idle, the difference to the Noctua cooler is small, about 1C cooler (about 43C). Overall, the Scythe Shuriken 2 is the best option for a Node 202. Both fans are quiet to my ears, but the Scythe fan has 11 blades and the slightly thinner Noctua fan has 9 blades, so the…

Competent, quiet, easy to install Low profile cooler

Used on r5 3600 (no overclock, no boost, limited to 65w/3.6ghz/1.08v default settings) in a small compact Package. Significantly quieter than a standard cooler and also smaller in size. The Scythes attachment system is undeniably better than any other, including noctua. more than enough thermal paste to seep around the cooler/chip. At 50% fan speed (quiet, 22Β°C room), CPU temperatures are kept below 77Β°C in a compact p95 low FFT package. This is significantly better than the stock Wraith…

Works great, fits great

I needed a CPU cooler for my XPS 8920 and after a few days of searching I settled on the Shuriken 2. Works and whatever I decided to go for it. The instructions show him using their backplate to install Intel. In my situation this was unacceptable as I have holes on the back for attaching the processor. The website shows the AMD brackets without the backplate, just screws and standoffs. So if you take 4 x 3Mx20mm screws, it will mount just like AMD. They should only include screws to keep…
