Overview
An air cooler standing 160mm tall specced for 180W. Noise is specced at 16.8 dBA; socket compatibility spans AM5, AM4, LGA1700. That rating covers upper-midrange CPUs at stock and mild overclocks. At 160mm tall, verify case cooler clearance — mid-towers typically allow 160–170mm.
Its $73.99 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to keep a running tally of the cost. Support and warranty service run through Noctua, with terms that vary by region.
