    Installed onto Asus Z87 pro motherboard on a i7 4770 in a Corsair 300R case.The cooler just fits into the case with about 1cm clearance.The TX650 power supply fan does not operate in my rig due to low power consumption (I dont have a graphics card) .

    Noctua tiene fama de fabricar de los mejores ventiladores en el mercado y lo confirmé con este. Muy buena calidad y funcionamiento perfecto después de 6 meses de uso. El color café no me encanta, pero funcionalmente, me parece que es totalmente recomendable

    Ich habe jetzt zum zweiten Mal einen Noctua Turmkühler im Rechner, diesmal auf einem Ryzen 3700X. Der mitgelieferte Wraith Prism Kühler ist nicht ganz so schlecht, tut was er soll, aber wenn man einen, zur CPU passenden, Noctua einbaut, da liegen Welten zwischen. Das fängt schon bei der Temperatur ohne Last an, einfach nur den Desktop ansehen (Linux Mint), Chrome offen und diese Rezension schreiben. 33 Grad. 9 Grad weniger als mit dem AMD Kühler. Dann einen Software Path-Tracer (ohne GPU Unterstützung) gestartet, der auf allen Kernen mit vollem Fließkomma-Einsatz ein 4k Bild rendert, Laufzeit ca. 4 Std. Maximale Temperatur 61 Grad. 10 Grad weniger als der Wraith Prism. Sagenhaft.

    Vorher hatte ich eine Wasserkühlung. Jetzt diesen Lüfter. Der Geräuschpegel ist gesunken. Es gibt etwas mehr Abwärme. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

    Acheté 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.

    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.

    For some reason. I tried to install this on the mounting brackets that were correctly screwed into my motherboard. I tried for 2.5 hours but I could not for the life of me get the mounting screws on either side of the cooler to thread properly with their mounting slots on the mounting brackets so I gave up and went with the AMD stock cooler instead. Very disappointed in this product.

    This was without a doubt the easiest air cooler to install, and it yielded amazing results for the price. This cooler does work for a budget air cooler, this keeps my i5-4690k at under 30 degrees Celcius when web browsing and watching youtube videos, during a heavy gaming load it stays roughly around 35-42 degrees. The looks of this cooler is a good bonus too, Im sold on this cooler and will now purchase Noctua coolers only for rigs that I build.

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.
