> 24 hourthe Noctua NH-U12S has been the best air cooler I have used so far. The color scheme takes some getting used to but for performance I have yet to see a competetor in the 120mm air cooler realm.

> 24 hourUn modèle qui marchera très bien avec des fréquences processeur jusqu’à 3.5GHz environ, au delà on se heurtera à des problèmes de dissipation. Au niveau du bruit ce n’est pas au niveau d’un U12A que je possédais, on entend un léger souffle qui ne se fera pas oublier au sein d’une configuration dont l’objectif premier sera d’être silencieuse avec refroidissement actif.

> 24 hourGreat fan, but too tall for my SilverStone GD09 home theater PC case. Its a true 4 wire, so the mother board can do PWM fan speed control. Make sure you enable PWM fan control in your BIOS. Very quiet and obviously a quality piece, but sadly too tall. In retrospect there’s probably no way to stuff a 120mm fan in most cases.

> 24 hourI use to cool my overcloked fx 6300 and does its job wonderfully. My average idle temps are 25 Celsius and load temps 50 degrees. Instialtion was simple and easy you dont even need to use a separate back plate for the AMD cpus you just use the stock one.

> 24 hourIt is truly amazing how quiet the fan is on this thing, and even more amazing how much it cools while being that quiet. Just for kicks I ordered a second NF-F12 fan to put on and I still have to put my ear to the case to barely hear them. They keep my i7-7700K running in the mid 70s C at 4.9 GHz while running Prime95. The Cooler Master HAF X case probably helps a bit by not getting in their way. When just surfing the web the only sound I hear is a slight sound from the power supply fan. If I put the power supply on ECO mode its fan stops at low voltage pull and I cant hear the computer at all.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups. |
100% RAM compatibilityThanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and ensures 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans. |
