    Well this CPU cooler for me is just the best! I cannot recommend it enough! The reason is because Ive chosen before this a liquid cooling which was corsair h80i which as a few other said it, the pump can start playing up after 3 months which is exactly what happened to me too! All of a sudden my pump on corsair started doing some funny noises and the temperatures jump in idle from 40 celsius to over 70 nearly to 80 which is a lot!!! So after reading some reviews online I found out that you cannot do much about the pump or its speed as this is apparently the cause of this noise and its poor performance!!!! So I decided to buy this amazing cooler which performs a lot better than the corsair h80i even under load test!!! Where the corsair h80i was keeping my CPU at @ 65 to 70 celsius under full load this keeps it at @ 52 to 53 celsius which is far mor better plus that this has no parts that can go wrong at any time!!! Plus the very well building feel and look of this cooler is just outstanding!

    Top of the line CPU cooler, its far more expensive than the coolermaster offerings but its a far better system. Ive never been a fan of liquid cooling, the off the shelf systems are either ineffective or far too expensive.

    Lo tengo montado en un i7 4790, con una placa base Asrock Z97 Extreme 4 y una memoria G.Skill Ripjaws Z de 4 cm. de altura con disipador, y a parte de que no toca para nada la memoria, puedes acceder a los 4 módulos de memoria sin necesidad de quitar el ventilador del micro ni el disipador. Un gran acierto.

    Siempre escuché la buena reputación de Noctua, pero estoy sorprendido. De entrada, el producto llega super bien empacado, y en la caja encuentras absolutamente todo para instalarlo: instructivos para cada tipo de socket, tornillería, brackets, pasta térmica, llave y desarmador, hules anti-vibración de repuesto, y más. No necesitas NADA más. La instalación se realizó en 15 mins siguiendo el instructivo para mi LGA1151. Una vez encendido el equipo, me sorpendí mas: es real que no hacen absolutamente nada de ruido. Hasta cierto punto creí que algo había conectado mal, porque es sumamente silencioso. Modifiqué la curva del ventilador, y aún así estando al 100% es imperceptible. Finalmente, el funcionamiento fue esperado: 20°C menos que el cooler anterior (tengo un i5-9600k, el cooler que usaba antes era el stock de un i3-9100f).

    Der Einbau war sehr leicht, ich habe mir aber noch mal ein Video angeschaut um sicher zu gehen. Der Kühler läuft bei mir mit dem Low Noise Adapter auf einer angenehmen Lautstärke und mein auf 4Ghz overclockter Ryzen 5 2600 mit 12 Watt Tdp wird nicht wärmer als 66 Grad bei 100% Auslastung und und undervoltet bei 3Ghz im Idle nicht wärmer als 35 Grad. Bei meinem B-Ware Lüfter gab es keine Defekte oder Mängel, nur der Schraubenzieher hat gefehlt.

    Da schon fast alles gesagt wurde gehe ich nur auf die Temperatur ein.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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.
