    Per essere efficente lo è, però mevlo aspettavo più silenzioso. Non è una vera e propria lamentela, perché comunque rispetto ai dissipatori stock è un altro pianeta, però mi aspettavo quasi un silenzio assoluto.

    The cooler itself is great. But got it with the wrong mounting bracketsin the kit, so i cant mount it or use it for my ne pc build. Waiting for response from Amazon on this issue.

    Perfecto disipador para cajas pequeñas. No tapa las memorias. Silencioso incluso con el micro a full load. Ha bajado 20° la temperatura con el micro renderizado respecto al disipador de stock. Encantado con la compra.

    Great cooler for my Skylake build. I did take the ugly fan off and put in a BitFenix Spectre red 120mm fan. I have a red and back theme. (see picture). This bad boy keeps my i5 6600k nice and cool. Easy to install and no moving parts like a water cooler. It will work forever. Here is a link to an ASUS build with JJ. He loves this cooler and uses it a lot in his builds. (youtube.com/watch?v=4A4a7LfOxuI)

    Funziona bene ed è molto silenzioso. Unica nota: quando lo montate prima di stringere le barre in metallo centrate bene le due viti con molla altrimenti non entreranno. A parte questo perfetto. Bisogna solo capire come fissarlo bene. Consigliato anche perché una volta installato funziona benissimo.

    Avendolo....Per il rumore della ventola non credo sia un problema,se si ha una scheda madre il programma apposito ,tipo un Al Suite Asus,io ne ho montate 2 di ventole,perche in caso di lavoro estremo,dissipano il calore quasi il doppio...Del resto non metto numeri ecc. dico solo che Noctua e unica in tutti i sensi,il materiale e di prima scelta, i cavi delle ventole sono isolati e la confezione e completa, spendere 10 euro in piu ,per un processore che costa 5 volte di piu ,ritengo che ne valga la pena..........

    This cooler is incredible. It reduced noise levels on my PC drastically. I can hardly hear it. The PC now whispers even under a heavy load. The Wraith Prism cooler that came with my AMD Ryzen 7 3700X looked nice but was noisy -- it would constantly and audibly whir up and down. I no longer have these problems. Fortunately this Noctua cooler does not block my Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM on my MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard.

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.

NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fan

Recommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts world-wide, the Noctua"s premium quality NF-F12 Focused Flow 120mm fan is renowned to combine superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation.

NT-H1 thermal compound

Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua"s NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability.
