They sent me fan clips twice to the non EU country so they said just to not return (because of customs) and give someone else in need. And they spent like month of speaking about this fan clip. And all this after I even lost my PoP.

"Back in the day" was pretty scary. Had to use a screwdriver to pry down the retention clip. One slip and you damage the motherboard.

@@asm2750 I'll give you that. Severing some mobo traces was a far more scary proposition than cracking the die.

[@bofh139]

I worked in an IT retail store during that time. We had about 6 trays of CPU with cracked dies. I think only about 5% of them got a RMA refund from our supplier. I was mainly caused by people putting the cooler on the wrong way round since it had a notch milled out of one side.

[@TheGameBench]

@@bofh139 Yep, that makes sense. I never cracked a die and I can't tell you how many AMD systems I built back then. Granted, I was a seasoned builder at the point and knew what I was doing.

Gotta say that something I have only recently learned about Noctua that I really love is how much they will support the community, whether its free adapters for their coolers (even if you didn't buy the cooler from them), reverse compatibility going back a quite insane amount of time considering how fast tech has changed(not to mention how much RnD it would take to make sure that it will work on them all), and now this type of stuff where they will supply the files needed to created your own parts. thats some top level stuff right there that I wish more companies would do. Also, that LTT Noctua screwdriver looks Awesome!!

Anyone else out there remember direct-die heatsink mounting on early Athlon chips in the early 00s? Absolutely terrifying experience!.

[@MrCroky123]

The real funny thing about "delidded" cpu's is that they were actually officially produced for some time in the early 2000's. AMD came from the lidded K6-3 to the delidded Athlon T-bird and went back to lidded with the Athlon 64. Intel came from the slotted Pentium 2 to the delidded Pentium 3 and back to the lidded Pentium 4. Bottom line, I actually broke a duron and a t-bird thanks to their mounting system and the delidded cpu's. They were actually RMA'd without any question when the reason was the mounting. Funny how things evolve over time. I guess both Intel and AMD learned their lesson back in the day. But man ... I still recall the first cpu's water blocks were made during that era. Overcloking went crazy because of both delidded cpu's and water blocks. And unlocking the T-bird with a pencil now seems like a joke but it was damn fun back then XD

Noctua is amazing, may they never change

[@Bunster]

arctic freezer ii's have an offset mount too, it helps alot

[@omarlara1556]

Still using mi NH-D14 whit bracket for AM4, try 2 AIO watercooling but stop working before 5 years booth, then going back to NH-D14 but this one NH-D15+ look interesting to upgrade

[@Biigbuub]

I look forward to when Linus uploads

[@kpluk84]

I always have too lauch a bit seeing this. this is how I got my first Athlon. and you had to sign that the core was in tact. what Linus is going is what everybody was doing back then.

@0:36 That would be Jacob Dellinger!

I dont know what it is, but i quite enjoy the ambiance of the crowd in the background. Tickles me brain

[@flauschxger]

linus holding a motherboard with one hand while pressing onto the die of the cpu with his finger is something I can't even find words for.

AMD really is the best at voiding your warranty.

[@DragonOfTheMortalKombat]

Which company won't void your warranty if delid chips ? Talk some sense.

[@MrSteppenwolf0]

I appreciate the intkformation on novelty tech. It's a bit hard to digest though, because it's all over the place, going from one interesting bit of kit, and information pretty damn fast.

[@falcie7743]

I appreciate the editor's efforts to balance the colors, despite all that brown and bright light around trying to make Linus look as pale as the moon.

[@ATADSP]

Just here to say that Noctua is indeed incredibly based as a company. I use their coolers in 3 of the 5 computers in my house, and I use their fans in all 5. Glad to see they continue to remain so customer focused!

[@ZAZA._.-]

Dont drop it

[@BansheeBunny]

I did direct die air cooling with a noctua NH-U9S. The captive bolt bumped the standoff as I placed the cooler, splashing liquid metal under the VRM caps. No magic smoke but a small pop when turned on, killing the motherboard, CPU and power supply. Be extremely careful if you decide to do this.

[@CritLoren]

FYI ARCTIC already does the offset thing too in their AIOs, my current ARCTIC AIO for AM5 came with those

[@drifter5626]

is it just me, or does he never use the plastic spacers or say where they go. Yet he keeps re-referring to them as the thing that enables this set up to work.

[@bakedbeans6]

While using my blackout edition LTT Screwdriver last night, I couldn't help but think how cool a Noctua crossover edition would be. Make it happen!

[@jdgrupp]

I used that delid tool on my 7950x and am loving the cooler temps.

[@BunkerSquirrel]

That Noctua colored screwdriver is a dream come true. I want one so bad 🤤

[@AthenesWrath]

The real news is that their next gen 140mm fans are finally here! Really intrigued if they offer the same breakthrough performance as the A12x25 did, but since they are releasing them it looks like they will

[@TODESHAMMEL]

Still running my NH-D14. Originally bought for an Intel 2500k, then a 6600k, now on a Ryzen 5600x. This is the best piece of Computer Hardware I ever bought.

[@ItsYaBoY119]

I absolutely love the cooling videos

[@solomonshv]

i figured this out a long time ago. i mounted my heatkiller waterblock upside down to put the center of the cooling engine over the CCX dies

[@blendpinexus1416]

nice to see that noctua hasn't lost their way.

[@Bratfalken]

Using the 5800X3D I got a few degrees using derBauers offset for the AM4, every degree matters. :)

[@BjornsTIR]

I've actually never had a Noctua cooler myself, but I used them in a lot of builds for family and friends, and people I sold PCs to. Never saw any complains, and god, are they silent. Always love to see when companies do cool things.

[@lokonu]

you and GN are killing it tbh, loving the coverage also i understood the heat-flux density part, noctua give me a job pls
