> 24 hourImpresionado. Tenía el disipador viejo de stock de Intel, y éste ha bajado 15°C en idle y ¡¡35°C!! en carga. Cierto es que el de Intel es una patata, pero esas temperaturas con cero ruido es una pasada.

> 24 hourFor the past 3 years I have been on a crusade to make my PC inaudible, I replaced all my fans with Noctua ones, upgraded my air cooler to a Noctua NH-U14s, flashed my GPUs BIOS to enable 0rpm fan mode, you name it, Ive tried it.

> 24 hourI built this PC for my pro tools rig. I heard about noctura fans being extremely quiet, but I didnt think they would be this quiet!

> 24 hourI purchased this cooler to replace an failing stock Dell cooler in a T1600 system. Noctua does not recommend their coolers in Dell, HP, and ASUS pre-built systems like the Dell T1600, but I was fairly confident that this product would work. A 5-pin to 4-pin PWM adapter was needed since Dell uses proprietary 5-pin headers (Thanks Dell...). The adapter was $7 from Tech Gears 4 Me seller.

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. |
