True even with some of the recent one like from Scythe.. they don't seem to perform particularly well under high load/s.
Found an article with several passive coolers bench-marked here https://www.fullysilentpcs.com/2020/12/07/the-best-fanless-cpu-cooler-showdown-2/?v=79cba1185463
Knowing Noctua though, this will be pretty much top tier in air cooling - in its size/form factor and category. And if its in the same league as the NH-U12S (or slightly lower) in terms of cooling capacity while being completely silent, that would be quite awesome.
