There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The original hardware had low profile heatsinks without attached fans and an air shroud. There were some really loud fans that would work well enough to push air through the server and keep the CPUs cool. I replaced all the case fans with Noctua 80mm fans to lower the noise, but they just didn't push enough air to cool the CPUs and it would overheat with enough load.
Now that I've replaced the old heat sinks (and removed the air shroud) with these coolers, the whole server stays cool (I couldn't get it to overheat with 90% CPU use) and quiet. These coolers fit in my 4U chassis with room to spare, and they came with Narrow ILM mounts that just needed to be swapped with the installed square ones. My chassis needs air to be pushed towards the back of the server, and the included brackets have ones that allow either orientation depending on your needs.

I'm using this particular kit for a Xeon E5-2650, on a dual-CPU motherboard. I only installed one today, and i'm going to work on installing a second soon. The idle temperatures are like night and day with these installed. Best thing is, the server is rather close to my main desktop and i can't even hear it when it is under load.
The only complaint i can muster up is the price. It hurts to spend 60 bucks (At the time of this review), but with Narrow ILM, this is your best bet if you want something that doesn't scream at you with excessive fan noise.

NOCTUA fabrica los mejores ventiladores y los más silenciosos.
Con los ventiladores HP (de serie) las 2 CPUs rondaban los 68º/72º grados. Después de cambiarlos por los NOCTUA la CPU apenas llegan a los 48º grados con carga plena de procesos.
RECOMENDABLE 100%
So I turned to two of these i4 coolers based on the reviews and specifications from Noctua's website I thought they would work and I have to say not only do these things cool incredibly well but they are so quiet.
BOX CONTENTS
Everything in the box feels premium, you get a nice amount of thermal grease in a tube applicator with a nice screw on lid. You get a very long tool to screw down the heatsink (feels very premium by the way), you receive a narrow-ILM bracket (the wide one is pre-installed on the cooler for your convenience) and you also receive some voltage lowering cables and a two fan to one PWM header adaptor. As I said everything in the packaging feels premium.
INSTALLATION
Installing these heatsinks is so easy, I actually had to install, uninstall and re-install them several times but not because of the heatsinks, it was due to troubleshooting issues with my CPU's and Motherboard. So I really got to experience what these heatsinks are like to attach and remove.
Firstly probably the easiest heatsinks I've ever installed on a computer, the tool included is so long you can easily get it down to the bolts without unduly knocking anything around the heatsinks and the accuracy of Noctuas machining meant all the screws meet up with their holes perfectly every single time.
If you've looked at pictures of the heatsink you'll see that both fans are held on to the heatsink using clips. I had to clip and unclip these a lot during my re-installations and I found them to be very sturdy with just the right amount of flex enabling you to easily remove and install them. Each heatsink has a cut grove on either side for the fans to easily slide down before you pull the clips back making installation of the fans even in a tight chassis a breeze. Noctua even included rubber glued-in slips along these grooves to dampen fan vibrations.
Also the included thermal paste was actually quite plentiful, I was able to re-use the tube of thermal paste from just one of my accessory boxes included with the i4 for all of the installs I performed during my issues which was about 5 total. Noctua isn't providing an enormous amount of thermal grease in the package but it was enough for several attempts if you were to get it wrong on the first try.
Last thing to note here is that the instructions were very easy to read and understand. They were printed on nice paper and were concise.
PERFORMANCE
Prior to using the Noctua i4's I was using a Supermicro 4U compatible cooler that was about twice as loud as these. It moved a lot of air with its single 90mm fan and yet the chip it cooled ran 20c hotter than with the Noctua i4's I'm using. I went from one chip to two with one heatsink blowing its warm air into the second one and they both still cool better than that Supermicro 4U cooler did.
With an 8 core XEON E5 I'm getting around 45c under normal load conditions and 56c under 100% load conditions. Which is a big come down from 60c to 75c I was getting on the Supermicro cooler previously. This is a huge improvement.
NOISE
As I said at the beginning of the review, these coolers are so quiet. They are now the quietest pieces of equipment in my server that have fans on. I'll likely need to swap out my case fans for Noctuas also. To think you can get this kind of low noise with such high cooling performance is incredible.
COMPATABILITY
If you've read the product brief from Noctua you likely know these heatsinks are designed for a 4U height chassis. I can confirm they fit perfectly, they do not foul the top lid on a 4U height case. They also do not hang over the memory modules if you're using wide-ILM sockets which is the default mounting mechanism installed on the cooler. I was able to access the closest memory modules to the CPU socket without removing the heatsinks which is a great time saver.
My only comment about spacing is if your sockets are very close together for example some LGA 2011 / LGA 2011-v3 dual-socket motherboards try to stick two sockets almost right up against each other to fit within an ATX or EATX form factor, on these motherboards you may not be able to get both sets of fans on each of your two heatsinks. Obviously this isn't an issue if you're using a single-socket motherboard or a dual-socket with wide spacing as I am.
CONCLUSION
Really fantastic heatsink and fan combo. The quality is just so great, from the mirror finish cold plate at the bottom to the shiny fins and heatpipes the high quality silent yet performative fans and the easy installation these are probably the best air coolers I've used yet and I'll definitely be looking at future Noctua products for other builds I do, I really cannot recommend these heatsinks enough.
日本ではあまり知られていないようなのでYouTubeの高評価をみて買ってみた
4Uのケース(178mm以上)の高さがあるケースにしか入りません
私のXeonワークステーションでは空調用のダクトと干渉して外さなければ
ドアが閉まらなかったのですが、ダクトがないほうがよく冷えることもわかり結果満足です
3Uくらいの高さが多い日本のPC事情では帯に短しタスキに長しなのでしょう
良い点
・非常によく冷えます(ファンは送風側だけで良い)
・ファンの風量はかなり多めです
・装着が簡単です (LGA-2011v3のソケットだと箱から出してそのまま)
・付属品が豊富でグリスやブラケットなどに加え六角レンチが付いています
悪い点
・馬鹿なBIOSだとファンの回転が下がらず、フル回転に近いと静かとは言えない
悪い点は非常に少なくファンの色が格好良くないくらいしか思いつきません
(余談)余ったファンはケースに装着すると効果が高くなります
冬はファンを外しても問題なさそうなので夏が終わればファンレスで使おうと思っています
冷却フィンの性能が高く、非ゲーマーにはファンは保険
ファン一つで、室温27度、
アイドル時 35℃
CPU100%負荷で60℃まで届かないので冷却性能は期待を超えています
19インチ4Uラックならこのクーラーで何も問題が起こらない気がします
普通のクーラーの倍の値段は納得できます
Intelの既製品(ワークステーション付属品)とは比較にならないほど高性能です
その上、冷却フィンには6年間の製品保証が付いていて、新しいマシンを買っても長く使えます
