Noctua NH U9B Cooler SE 2 with Silverstone Sugo SG07

Once again Noctua have created a phenomenal cooler which is without a doubt one of the best solutions for this market we have yet to test on KitGuru.

Even at default fan speeds the Noctua NH D9B SE2 does not generate much noise at all, and to the human ear it is hard to notice from a distance of one meter. Our recording equipment did measure around 22dBa. Moving to low noise and ultra low noise adapters brought further reward with dBa recordings of 16.8dBa and 16.2dBa respectively – clearly our equipment and testing room would need further improvement to measure more accurate dynamics at these settings.

Removing the fan after using the ultra low noise adapter didn't help our recorded dBa figures at all so we would leave a single fan at this setting for a little airflow, especially as it helped drop temperatures by 8-10c.

The Silverstone Sugo SG07 still manages to impress us, especially as within this particular review we have managed to measure how quiet the power supply is with the right partnering equipment. ‘Out of the box' you are able to have a high performance gaming system built into this chassis and for people who want to build a quiet system you can easily remove the 180mm fan and upgrade the heatsink to a Noctua NH U9B SE2.

KitGuru says: Noctua never fail to impress us as a company, their heatsink solutions are without a doubt the finest on the market, bar none.
