Noctua NH-U12S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-F12 120mm Fan (Brown)

Greater than one weekI recently got a new PC and it came with an AIO water cooler. Well, Ive never been a fan (pun intended) of water cooling; the size, pump reliability, danger (albeit small) of leaks, etc. So, after reading a bunch of reviews, I removed the clunky AIO and replaced it with this air cooler. Temps on this with a single fan are actually a few degrees LOWER than the 240mm dual-fan AIO water cooler! Using this on an AMD Ryzen 5800x (stock clocks), and my idle temps are 35-40°C, full load (running Prime95) are 60-65°C, with an ambient air temps of 21-23°C.

> 3 dayIve been building rigs since 2000 and these are BY FAR the highest quality fans I have ever put into a system. If you havent read any of the hype surrounding Noctua, I recommend you give them a look and believe it. This company is the dark horse that is dominating the cool and silent race and for good reason. If you are looking for pretty lights that will make your system look sick and your room sound like it has a leaf blower in it - look elsewhere. If you want solid performance and silent operation, look no further.

> 3 dayAcheté pour mettre sur un PC qui avait un Water cooling corsair basique qui faisait un bruit de fou depuis je revis, ultra silencieux et super refroidissement, Noctua est vraiment une valeur sûre le packaging est juste fou livré avec une seringue de pâte thermique un lot de second crochet pour installé un deuxième ventilateur 120 mm si besoin en bref je conseil vraiment cette marque. Pour celui qui veux du RGB par contre passé votre chemin, moi je préfère la qualité du refroidissement au petites lumières. Config I7 7700K RTX 2080TI 32go ram refroidissement par 1 ventil 140 mm Noctua en extraction 1 en 120 en extraxtion et 1 en 120 en entrée dair frais et 2 sur le radiateur Over clocké et aucun soucis de chuaffe.

> 3 dayCela ne sert a rien.. de commenter un tel produit ! impossible démettre une critique tellement Noctua fabrique de la qualité. Combiné a un i7 8700, il sera largement suffisant pour du jeu tout en étant silencieux. A acheter les yeux fermés.

> 3 dayQuality product, though there are slightly better solutions out there, like the Deep Cool AK620 or Vetroo U6PRO. Great customer service.

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. |
