Pretty overkill for my use but it was 'cheap' and I can always reuse for AM5 and maybe even AM6 should the mounting brackets stays the same.

Like for the same price you can get an equivalent or better Thermalright cooler and pocket $65-70 towards other components, drinks or whatever.Īnd yeah the PS120 SE is damn good. And is even worse since Noctua have risen the prices quite dramatically this past year, killing their value. Times have changed though and with newer tech, heatpipes (what I'm guessing is attributing to TR's performance) and new fans, other competitors like Thermalright, Deepcool etc can have caught up and even surpassed them. And their support is great with free brackets upgrades. To be fair to them the NH-D15 has been pretty much the king of air coolers since it released back in 2014.

And is only going to release later this year. The M27Q-P in particular has been on sale as low as 240 in the last few weeks, so I would expect it to get to that price again some time soon. Their next gen NH-D15 is in development hell and has been mia what seems like forever.

Click to expand.Problem with Noctua is that they take forever to release anything. IPS, 170hz overclock, ELMB + Gsync, 1ms MPRT, 130 sRGB.
