    Baue beruflich wie privat Rechner zusammen. Privat verwende ich nur die besten Komponenten, beim CPU-Kühler also nur Noctua!

    works well. computer used to run hot at 88 degrees with previous fan . now runs at around 33 degrees

    Non troppo complicato da montare, è silenzioso ed è un netto miglioramento rispetto al dissipatore stock. Lo consiglio. Ideale per case non troppo grandi.

    Fits perfect in my Bitfenix Prodigy computer case. Was bought to replace a noisy watercolling system (pump made lot of noise after only 2 years)

    This thing is a beast. I used the supplied thermal paste, rigged up another 120mm Noctua for rear exhaust in-line with this cooler, and setup 3 Cougar Vortex 140mm fans, one exhausting above and two for front intake. You need to put your head about half a foot away before you hear anything.

    Installation sans problème! Un peu cher, esthétique, très silencieux (cest ce quon lui demande).

    He cambiado hace un par de semanas (con ola de calor castellano de por medio) el radiador y ventilador que venia con mi procesador amd (125w tdp) por este NH-U12S de Noctua, y la diferencia es increíble, con el de serie ( limpio de polvo) se mantenía el procesador a su tope de temperatura (70ºC) con el ventilador metiendo estruendo a mas de 3000 rpm, y con este noctua el procesador esta de normal a 8ºC o 9ºC por encima de la temperatura ambiente y a unos 50ºC funcionando el procesador a tope, y esto con el ventilador girando entre 500/800 rmp sin que lo puedas oír.

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.
