    The NH-U12S is amazing. Using coretemp my temps are 12 degrees at idle and 32 under load on my overclocked AMD FX-8350. I used Artic Silver 5 on my cpu after ensuring my cpu was cleaned of previous thermal paste. This heatsink is pretty tall but fit in my mid tower case just fine and doesnt cover up ram slots at all. If you are looking for as close to water cooling without the possible hazard of a leak then this product is for you. The installation is easy if you know how to use a screwdriver. Took me a total of 30 minutes with having to clean my cpu.

    Ein Sahnestück von vorn bis hinten und ein echtes Erlebnis. Allein die Verpackung - alles geordnet und sofort intuitiv nachvollziehbar. Wärmeleitpaste hoher Güte. Leiser Lüfter, kompakter Kühlkörper, extrem leichte Montage. Alles sehr durchdacht. Selbst ein Temperaturfühler (brauchte ich nicht) ist mit dabei für die Lüftersteuerung. Noctua ist für mich die Lüfter-Kühler-Oberklasse. Über die Haltbarkeit des Lüfters kann ich natürlich nichts schreiben, aber bisher ist mir noch nie ein CPU-Kühlerlüfter ausgestiegen.

    Nachdem ich mich die staendigen Jetstarts genervt haben musste was leisers her! Mit dem low noise adapter praktisch nicht mehr zu hoeren aus dem gehaeuse und im stresstest wurde sie auch nicht heisser als 42.5 Grad. Jetzt muss nur was leises fuer die Grafikkarte her und eventuell gehaeuseluefter, ist das einige was relativ gut hoerbar ist.

    It arrived with a rapid delivery. impressively quality and sturdy product. Very slim design it doesnt look bulky and so no need to worry about ram height clearance either. Every single detailed has been thought about cooler.easy instalments with easy instructions.it includes all the parts bits n bobs u need(intel, AMD kits,screw driver,corner rubbers,second fan clip,noctua badge, bits n bobs etc) running it with one fan and I was in doubt about this product efficiency but it handles temps very good. Intel i7 12700k (10cores 20threads) overclocked to 5.1ghz and temps are 40-55c max through gaming(nomansky,GTA 5,fallout 76,farcry newdawn et.) on ultra settings or audio rendering (Ableton live)throughout over 60 channels of DAW.never reached to 56 or above yet. Of course rooms temperature and most importantly Ur towers airflow efficiency are the facts on an air-coolers efficiency.i believe it will be more efficient with second fan if u buy that extra. So far Im totally happy with this product. If u re not a fan of aio and dont like any liquid running in Ur rig like me or u dont need big aio or big aircooler then this product is perfect for u. Highly recommended

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.
