** Should I update the title and link to this new deal? **

This product seems to be controversial…! It's a large heavy cooler for passive convection cooling or with some fan assist, maybe just a chassis fan. I was thinking the open Thermaltake cases would work well with it. Another approach (which I currently use) is to use a "normal" cooler but make it well oversized for the CPU/TDP and run the fan at very low speed, which is enough to remove the hot air from the fins but is still practically silent. A third approach is to buy a case which is itself the cooler but these are expensive. Also, passive cooling is really only viable for intermittent load, so cooling benchmarks with high sustained load aren't really telling the right picture. The high thermal mass of the heatsink will absorb the heat from a burst of activity and then dissipate it more slowly. If you need max cooling performance for a high performance CPU then none of the above is viable. That's my take on it anyway :)

— original below

The NH-P1 is Noctua’s first passive CPU cooler and has been custom-designed for fanless operation from the ground up: in enclosures with good natural convection, its six heatpipes and thick, widely spaced heatsink fins enable it to cool modern high-end CPUs with low to moderate heat dissipation completely passively.

    if you look up the rating system that Noctua uses for it's coolers, it's actually pretty average even with a 120mm fan…

      .. This is not made for very hot / high performance CPUs.

      Other 100% passive coolers are stupidly expensive or worse.

    • teddiebear on 29/11/2022 - 04:04

      It's not used with fans….. it's a PASSIVE heatsink. Designed for totally quiet systems and low power cpu's. It's big, chunky, heavy but silent (due to no fans).

      Yeah you’re not blowing anyone out of the water with a fanless heat sink design, but this is more intended for a home media system or something like that. Low powered where the intention is to have a quiet machine rather than a high performance one.

      • Budju on 29/11/2022 - 07:48

        I honestly don't know who this is made for. Due to form factor it isn't particularly suited to a media PC. If you want quiet performance a hyper 212 on low fan speed is going to be basically silent with much better cooling performance.

          I honestly don't know who this is made for.

          PCs that are in very dusty environments or that have small particles that go everywhere (eg. wood or metal filings in workshops), so basically places where using fans is a bad idea.

            @skittlebrau: Lol maybe but there are still better solutions than this rediculous cooler for that niche use case

              @Budju: you were given a possible use-case, if you can't accept it, move along. or find out, google is free.

              if noctua mass made this to be sold, it meant there's a target market out there, very likely that target market isn't you.

              what you are failing to understand does not make it ridiculous.

                -2

                @slowmo: It isn't a realistic use case because in that environment you wouldn't want a ventilated case ceiling, which this cooler would require to maintain even borderline results on a 65w tdp cpu. Who are you actaully trying to fool bloke, you're just proving you've go no clue every time you reply.

                • slowmo on 30/11/2022 - 11:48

                  @Budju: wrong again. not my job to educate you. go figure out.

                    @slowmo: It isn't wrong. I'd love to have a look at all the terrible build decisions you would make with this cooler just for a good laugh

      I'm not really sure what you expect. Not a valid neg. Users should take 10 seconds to understand a product before negative voting.

      This product is designed to use convection. When used correctly, you can build a very quiet/silent PC.

      Of course it's not going to compete with coolers with a fan.

      • dandoon on 29/11/2022 - 10:18

        duly noted - i do believe it is also cheaper in a few listings on ebay (harris technology actually was selling cheaper there).

        i was tired and my neg was not thought through.

        whilst it may not have looked like it, i am an sff and quite pc enthusias. i try to max-min my builds which is why i ignore the p1. but again, 1am postings without thinking are dumb - and i will be careful to not neg irresponsibly in the future

        to @teddiebear, it is specified to also be used with a fan and you can infer both from my link in the previous post but also the noctua website.

          if you are failing to understand what this product is meant to do, then perhaps go and find out. instead of peppering the comments section with "cAnT cOmPaRe WiTh fAnS" comments.

      Runs 10 degrees hotter than wraith spire on a 65W part, if that's what you mean by great?

        • Budju on 29/11/2022 - 11:05

          On the free wraith spire? terrible. Question, do you honestly run this cooler with no case fans if you're claiming 0db? It must be an absolute pig when it comes to performance.

            @Budju: I've seen completely passive builds with the product.

            Personally, i'm running a D15. I currently don't have a use case for a passive cooler but may in the future as I'm interested in silent/quiet builds.

            • Budju on 29/11/2022 - 11:19

              @ihfree: I have the D15 as well - If you just turn all your case fans off and run that on minimum speed I bet you won't even hear it, and it won't throttle a 65w CPU like this passive will.

              • ihfree on 29/11/2022 - 14:31

                @Budju:

                turn all your case fans off

                So close but yet so far.

                • Budju on 29/11/2022 - 19:22

                  @ihfree: I don't know what you mean, please elaborate

  • Oofy Doofy on 29/11/2022 - 02:15

    Still wouldn't use without case fans. At least you can dial in sub 20 dB speeds and put something like this in and have a nice little passive (albeit cpu cooling passive only) rig.

      Not a direct 1:1 comparison to TDP but you can see the NH-D15 is 183, NH-U12S is 129 and this model is 42 (89 with fan).

      So I wouldn't be using this as my primary cooling method if you have a topend CPU without a really efficient set of case fans.

  • skittlebrau on 29/11/2022 - 09:27

    One of the use cases for these is for sealed cases in environments that are very dusty or in places like machine workshops where metal filings get everywhere. In saying that, most places would use industrial mini PCs which are plentiful.

    Another one would be for systems that have a specific purpose to be fanless for noise reasons.

    • Oofy Doofy on 29/11/2022 - 14:27

      Let's be real, it's just for epeen and to have something different. Obviously you'd want a case with a massive window so people can see it.
