- T-A 1y ago> Noctua does not use TDP for their heatsinks and instead have CPU compatibility charts. Reviewers and sellers do, though. Here are a few more: [1][2][3][4] The highest rating is from [1], which says You cannot access the TDP guide from here, but we will tell you that it displays 140W TDP; however, it also says you can overclock that to closer to 160W or 180W TDP overall. AVADirect advertises it as good for 115W [4]. It also beggars belief that a single 92mm fan would suffice to cool a 9950X, when the best 120 and 140 mm air coolers just barely reach 240W [5]. The only Noctua in that review, the 140mm NH-D15S, gets to 233W. > They say it's fine, with "medium turbo/overclocking headroom" Hopefully just an innocent mistake...
