L'azienda austriaca Noctua ha annunciato, mediante il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, la realizzazione del dissipatore per chip-set siglato NC-U6 (cfr. foto seguente).

Il dissipatore, che può essere abbinato sia alle motherboard in architettura Intel che a quelle in architettura AMD, include 29 lamine di alluminio attraversate da quattro condotti in rame (Dual-Heatpipe) ed è in grado di assicurare un efficiente smaltimento del calore anche in assenza di una ventola ausiliaria.

Il prezzo di NC-U6 - suggerito dal produttore - è pari a €24.99.

Vienna, November 20th 2006 - With the NC-U6, Noctua presents a premium class chipset-cooler designed to efficiently solve heat issues of current mainboard chipsets. The NC-U6 implements a miniature-version of the well proven design of Noctua's award winning NH-U coolers. Sporting 2 Dual-Heatpipes, 29 aluminium fins and soldered joints for optimal heat-transfer, the NC-U6 is the ultimate solution when it comes to silently cooling today's high-end chipsets.

"The increasing heat production of today's chipsets also increases the demand on the cooling solutions", explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO, "the NC-U6 is the first chipset cooler that employs 2 Dual-Heatpipes, enabling it to reliably cool even overclocked chips without the need of an additional fan."

The NC-U6 is shipped with mounting systems for Intel and AMD mainboards, using the existing fastening hooks or push-pin mounting holes. In order to achieve maximum compatibility with mainboards, VGA cards and CPU coolers, the NC-U6 can be turned by up to 120°.

"The different positioning of the chipset on different mainboards is a major problem", says Mag. Roland Mossig, "by designing the mounting mechanism of the NC-U6 so that it can be turned, we could evade a lot of compatibility issues."

Prices and availability The NC-U6 is available with immediate effect at a price if EUR 24,90 / USD 27,90 via Noctua's official distribution partners.
