Noctua NH-P1: we need to talk




After much thought and consideration we have decided to recommend only using CPUs up to 65W TDP with the Noctua NH-P1. Noctua is not really at fault here, TDPs are simply out of control. Intel and AMD don't even agree on what TDP is, anyway. And with so many case options out there, it's best to be conservative. Current 65W processors are absolute speed demons and some (including the upcoming Ryzen 7 5700G) will make fanless gaming PCs a reality.
