    Greater than one week

    Le pongo un 1 porque no puedo ponerle un 0. Tras abrirlo todo y seguir las instrucciones, me doy cuenta de que falta una pieza necesaria para montar el ventilador con procesadores Intel, haciendo totalmente imposible el ensamblaje. Total, he tenido que instalar el Ventilador que venía con la cpu y tener que comerme todo el proceso de llevar a correos el paquete y esperar 2 semanas para tener mi re-embolso por un producto incompleto.

    Didnt realise how much noise stock wraith prism cooler was making until I installed this. I was one of the lucky ones who managed to get a 5000 series AMD at launch. With the extra heat the new processor was due to create decided to change cooler. Im a believer in air cooling due to the fewer points of possible faults they introduce and Noctua are the best name in the business. The instructions were easy to follow, installation was over in 5 minutes. The cooler runs far cooler and quietly its an amazing upgrade over stock, should have done this from the beginning. Buy Noctua and you wont be disappointed the value is immense.

    Bottom line is Noctua makes the BEST cpu coolers on the market. There is no comparison, nothing else comes close. This is my message to Noctua though - please for the love of all things good, change the color of your fans! There is a reason 99.999999% of the case fans on the market are solid black with either black blades or white blades. These fans look like a band-aid, the color is horrible. Noctua - you tried to be different, it didnt work, you failed, ditch the band-aid color and move on.

    The AMD build brackets do not fit the backplate at all. It may have been a defect but the bracket is oversized so it does not mount at all.

    Cools better than the broken AIO it was replacing. AIO pump died after less than a year, bought this to replace it as I didnt want to invest in another AIO pump with the possibility of it failing again. I am not disappointed. Keeps my Ryzen 3700x mid 40s C with 1-2% load. The noise level ramps up a bit when playing games, but its quite tolerable.

    Noctua has a great reputation for a reason. I bought a couple of these cooler kits for cooling 8700ks in a few custom builds. These unites are very quiet and cool great. CoolerMaster was my go to option until I installed my first Noctua kit. Its been Nocuta ever since. The mounting design is first class and one of the easiest to install.

    Parfait pour mon upgrade CM + i7 9700K. Le processeur est à 36°c au repos et 54°c en full apres quelques heures de game.

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.

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.
