Passive cooling is interesting. It would be cool (pun intended) to see your testing graphs compare it to other popular coolers you’ve reviewed.

Noctua asked to keep comparisons at a minimum as while it does come with a fan mount, it really is designed for passive/silent cooling. While not included in the graphs, I have tested it personally against a NH-D15S and on average the D15S was 3-4c cooler against the NH-P1 when both coolers had a single fan attached. The D15S is also a bit cheaper so if you’re looking to have a cooler with a fan, would definitely be the way to go.

Seems like a decent choice for a home recording studio.

Yeah, bit of a niche market but if you need complete silence from your rig, definitely looks like this could be the way to go.
