Noctua NC - U6 Chipset Cooler
Introduction:
When the subject of cooling comes up, most people consider the CPU to be the only part of the system that would need additional cooling. In a way, that is correct, the CPU is the heart of the system and does deserve the attention. There are, however, other understated components of a computer that also might need additional cooling. This brings me to what is probably the most underestimated component of a system in terms of cooling, the North Bridge Chipset. Noctua decided to address this all important temperature issue by releasing their NC - U6 Chipset Cooler. Lets see how this cooler actually performs...

Features:
- 2 Dual-Heatpipes for optimal heat absorption - Using 2 u-shaped Dual-Heat-Pipes, the NC-U6 has sufficient capacity to reliably dissipate even the heat generated by overclocked high-end chipsets.
- 29 Aluminum cooling fins for optimal heat dissipation - Thanks to a surface area of more than 500cm², the cooling fins dissipate the heat extremely fast - without the need of an additional fan!
- Soldered joints for optimal heat-transfer - Unlike many other coolers, whose heat pipes are stuck to the base and the fins, the NC-U6 possesses high-grade soldered joints to ensure optimal heat transfer.
- Easy installation on Intel and AMD mainboards - The NC-U6 comes with mounting parts for Intel and AMD mainboards and uses the existing fastening hooks or push-pin mounting holes.
- Can be turned by up to 120° for maximum compatibility - In order to achieve maximum compatibility with mainboards, VGA cards and CPU coolers, the NC-U6 can be turned by up to 120°
