Question 1

Installing this cooler to replace the wraith stealth cooler, for a AMD 2600 65 watt. I'm installing it into a node 202 case with no other fans. Will this cooler adequately cool my CPU and the chip set?

Accepted Answer

I found this was able to cool my CPU adequately but be sure to check your graphics card.  Mine was too strong for the Node 202 and caused the whole thing to overheat.

Question 2

Will this cooler be adequate for keeping the 3700x cool?

Accepted Answer

I use this for a 3600X and with a *VERY* SFF case (Node 202)

It's pretty toasty. With better airflow it would probably be okay. Average idle temps are in the 55-60ish range, with load temps (gaming at 1440p 144Hz) pretty high (85ish). The fan can get loud at full blast to keep it cool.

Question 3

Will this cover any RAM channels on mobo : ASRock AB350M AM4 ?

Accepted Answer

I should mention that I'm using the 1600 because it's 6 core running at 65 Watts.  You could go higher, but I don't know what the temps MAX would be at.

Question 4

I have a ASUS MN3-HT Deluxe motherboard with a AMD Phenom x4 9950 processor and i'm wondering if this product will fit? I'm Currently just using stock cooler and its rather loud so I really want to fix that problem.

Accepted Answer

Hey there, the is Phenom are  socket AM2, this guy is for newer AM4. Shop around for a cooler for an AM2 socket (please double check that I just did a quick Google). A new cooler might be $40-50+ that money might be better saved towards a newer MoBo and CPU which will probably perform better and run cooler (and quieter!)

Question 5

Does Noctua make a black fan the same size as the one that comes on this? I hate the tan & brown color and don't want it anywhere near my high-end system.

Accepted Answer

Hi there!

The tan and brown color is the traditional Noctua colors. They do not make that specific size in black, however there are dark colors for other fans. I will say Noctua fans are extremely high quality and they get the job done well! I have one in my system right now and I love it, and you usually don't see the color of it too much.

Have a fantastic day!
