Noctua

Noctua's first passive CPU cooler, the NH-P1, has been designed from the ground up for fanless operation. Thanks to six heat pipes and particularly thick cooling fins with a high fin spacing, modern high-end processors with low to medium heat output can be completely passively cooled in cases with good natural convection. For even higher cooling performance or semi-passive systems where fans only run when needed, the NH-P1 can be equipped with a slow, ultra-quiet 120 mm fan like the NF-A12x25 LS-PWM. Complemented by the professional, Torx-based SecuFirm2+ mounting system and Noctua's award-winning NT-H2 thermal paste, the NH-P1 forms the ideal foundation for completely fanless or semi-passive premium systems.

Key specifications

Socket

A CPU socket or CPU slot is a mechanical component that provides mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB). This allows the CPU to be replaced without soldering.
Common sockets have retention clips that apply a constant force, which must be overcome when a device is inserted. For chips with a large number of pins, either zero-insertion force (ZIF) sockets or land grid array (LGA) sockets are used instead. These designs apply a compression force once either a handle (for ZIF type) or a surface plate (LGA type) is put into place. This provides superior mechanical retention while avoiding the risk of bending pins when inserting the chip into the socket.

Diameter

Max. TDP

The thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, refers to the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate. For example, a laptop's CPU cooling system may be designed for a 20 watt TDP, which means that it can dissipate up to 20 watts of heat without exceeding the maximum junction temperature for the computer chip. It can do this using an active cooling method such as a fan or any of the three passive cooling methods, convection, thermal radiation or conduction. Typically, a combination of methods is used. The TDP is typically not the most power the chip could ever draw, such as by a power virus, but rather the maximum power that it would draw when running "real applications". This ensures the computer will be able to handle essentially all applications without exceeding its thermal envelope, or requiring a cooling system for the maximum theoretical power (which would cost more but in favor of extra headroom for processing power).
