Review: Solid Option for Server Motherboards - I bought these to use on a dual-socket ATX (not SSI-CEB or even "E-ATX") LGA2011-3 board, the X10DRL-i from Supermicro. I contacted Noctua to ask about options and they gave me this and another (92mm fan) option, they even informed me that the dual 92mm could only work front to back and not up and down, I figured a larger single fan would be close in thermals (possibly better) and definitely quieter than 2x92mm. Mounting was very easy, I had an old NH-D14 I used on a Sandy Bridge E HEDT chip awhile ago and this was just as easy. Very quiet and have had no issue installing 2 of them on the very narrow spacing between the sockets. Even with both 2660v3 (10c/20t) CPUs in Prime95 (which is power virus level heat generation), hottest core never exceeded the mid 50s (Celcius) with these coolers in my fractal design r5 with all the HDD bays packed obstructing intake and two 140mm 1000RPM intakes and one more as exhaust in back. Mega impressed with Noctua's customer service, quality, noise, and thermals. I ended up buying Noctua fans for my server all around as well as my other two rigs, definitely earned my business, a little pricier but they make good stuff and this was easily worth what I paid.
Review: Functionality and price - Easy to install. Had to order this CUP cooler because my AIO closed loop water cooler gave up the ghost after 10 loyal years of service. Keeps my processor cores below 110°F even at higher than normal processing tasks, and around 80 to 85°F at idle.

## Features

- Does not overhang the RAM or PCIe slots on most current motherboards with Square ILM type sockets

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Option for Server Motherboards
*by A***R on August 13, 2020*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Functionality and price
*by R***R on November 9, 2023*

Easy to install. Had to order this CUP cooler because my AIO closed loop water cooler gave up the ghost after 10 loyal years of service. Keeps my processor cores below 110°F even at higher than normal processing tasks, and around 80 to 85°F at idle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a GREAT CPU fan if you're looking for a quiet one
*by S***T on August 17, 2019*

I'm using these in our Television editing bay computer builds. Quietness is paramount and these fit the bill. They also shed the heat from the Core i9 9980-XE 18 core CPUs (not overclocked) without a problem. There are two small nits to pick. One is the fact that the cooling tower/fan is LARGE. You need to put it in a large case. I'm using Define R6 cases (also awesome!!!). The other is that you have to pull the fan off the heat exchanger to install so that you can get to two of the mounting screws. Very small nits. Barely worth the 1 star I dinged it.
