> 3 dayVery well made, easy to install (once the motherboard was out of the case), and the mount seems to be very solid. I used the thermal paste that came with it and it is doing a fine job of keeping my 3770k cool. I do not overclock, but generally runs in the 40-50 deg. C range unless really working it. Then it might get up into the 50s. I have not really tested it, but it seems to work really good. Plus I dont hear it at all. The fan was a very tight squeeze against my RAM, zero clearance.

> 3 dayI bought this heatsink and fan for a new build, and I didnt really know what to expect. Ive seen lots of coolers over the years, but this thing is a real beast. The heatsink itself was incredibly easy to install and tightly secure, the spring screws on the sides to install the sink onto the plate itself were a bit fiddly but with a bit of force secured well enough.

> 3 dayPasst gut in einen Full Tower, Montage war mit der Anleitung in 5 Minuten erledigt (habe zum ersten mal einen Pc selbst gebaut, bin also kein Profi gewesen). Kühlleistung und Lautstärke sind bisher tadellos. Härtetest Sommertemperaturen steht aber noch aus. Für alle deren Tower keinen herausnehmbaren mainboardschlitten hat oder der nur den Kühler einbaut ist die Montage etwas umständlich, da man dazu an die Rückseite des Mainboards muss um die Konterplatte der beiden Montageschienen (hoffe das macht Sinn) hinten durch die Löcher zu stecken. Leitpaste ist dabei, auch mit Anleitung wie viel wohin etc. Ist wirklich so idiotensicher wies geht^^ auch an die Farbe gewöhnt man sich ;)

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. |
