So this is the smallest Threadripper air cooler out there at 125mm in height and really it is meant for server racks or SFF builds that just don't have the height clearance. If your case has substantially clearance I would recommend skipping the U9 and U12 all together and just go with the U14 TR version since all of these coolers are so closely priced together but the U14 is the only chip that offers very good cooling with real overclocking potential. With this said the U9 TR4 is rated at 180W TDP, so yes it can handle a 1920X-2920X to a 1950X-2950X but not the WX series chips. The cooler is beautifully packaged and comes with all sorts of cables, a long screw driver, and thermal paste.

I made the mistake of buying the lian li dynamic 011 without considering a cooling solution for my threadripper 2950x thinking my wraith ripper cooler would fit. Boy I was wrong with it frustratingly being a mere 5mm too tall. Looking online for cooling solution wanting a cpu cooler tower opposed to AIO I skipped over this cooler thinking it won't be enough to keep the 16 core beast cool enough. I was desperate and almost resorted to buying the only AIO cooler for trx4 in the market for $200 when my desperation brought me back to this little noctua cpu tower cooler. I decided to give it a shoot and was astonished. This little cooler kept my cpu a cool mid 30 - 40 degrees Celsius.

Use this in a 4U server. The cooler is mounted on a 1920X (12c/24t). Tested with prime95 @ 100% load never tipped over 65c. Really impressed with the performance and how quiet the fans operate even under full power. Obviously your mileage will very depending on your cases airflow. The craftsmanship of these coolers is second to none and the mounting brackets are the easiest I’ve used by far. Only thing I’d like to add is that seeing these brown fans is like an insurance policy that your not going to have any troubles for a very long time. So don’t be thrown by the color, it’s a brown beacon of light in a ocean of terrible black/RGB fans.

Perfect cooler for my application. I have a 3960x that I run as a home 4u server via UNRAID. Ive dedicated 12 cores to a gaming VM, 4 cores to my wifes work station (she almost exclusively just does email and docs with light video/multimedia use) and the rest to run dockers and PLEX. Even under max loads while gaming, video streaming temps stay in the 50s. Very quiet. Perhaps not suitable for 24 core 100% load OC but again works perfect for me.

My main goal was looking for a cheap and great performing cooler that would fit a Rosewill rackmount case for my Threadripper system that I use to run VMware Hypervisor. I was using an Intel based motherboard which died, so I replaced it with what I had on hand, which was a threadripper based motherboard. I had a height requirement, but I also wanted to best performing air-cooler. This has been performing like a champ for months!!

For stock speed on my 1950X it seems to work just fine after it broke in. I was concerned before the thermal compound broke in that it wasnt cooling as well as it should have been. I saw temps rising over 90C in the motherboard software (I later found this number was wrong), but after break in and finding better software to read the temps on the chip, temps were well under control.

I need this to move my server into a 4U case from open air test bench. I used it for my EPYC 7401P and it kept the temperature under 60C when ambient temperature is reaching 35C. The fan was not fully spinning nor noisy either. Pretty happy with the result. It's definitely not as powerful as U14S, but at this size, it's pretty good.

I wish I had a bit more cooling for these processors, but overall it seems to be doing the job, it just run a tad hot.I actually had to reinstall the fan because of overheating issues. I used a little less thermal paste and it ended up getting it to an overall accepatable level.

This is rated for 180W but with two Delta 92mm 3.8k PWM fans (reused the wire springs from the 92mm noctua fans) and two Noctua 120mm 3k case fans, I was able to control the 3970X during the pretty brutal mprime short-fft test: temps were contained at 89c.

Quality fan and heatsink. Did not want to fool with liquid cooling for by TR build. Am running 1950x stock without OC and temps idle around 33-37c. Load can hit 65c when all cores pegged to 80% or more for extended period (15mins). Quiet

It's effective and cheap, especially for a cooling system that fits a TR-4 CPU. would be 5 stars if the fans weren't butt-ugly. Still, if you don't want to spend the extra $200 for a water block it's definitely worth a buy.

when you have a 4u server, this is the one.the 12S was just too tall for mine but this one works really nicely.I was able to overclock the threadripper 1920x to 4.0Ghz and it holds below 60C under load like a champ.

Great cooler, especially for its size. The power chords are short, so you will probably want one or two 4 pin extension cables depending on your motherboard layout. Noctua is great.

Cools the CPU without any noticeable noise. I was about to get a water-cooler, but this works great for half the price. I use it with a TR 8 core CPU and 4 GPUs. Highly recommended.

Bought the cooler because Noctua lists it as a 3U cooler. Regrettably it is 8mm too tall for a Supermicro SC836 case. Total bummer.Works great but not for this case.
