> 3 dayNonostante Noctua sia una garanzia questo dissipatore non è facilissimo da montare, non dico sui supporti, ma la sulle due viti con le molle che non sono facilissime da montare, il cacciavite in dotazione non serve praticamente a nulla. Prestazioni altissime, grande potenza di dissipazione!

Greater than one weekKeeps it cool, quiet and has an improvement of 15c on prime95. Could not be happier. I have it in a push pull configuration w/ a second fan.

Greater than one weekI replaced a Wraith Prism with this cooler, and its like I have a different PC its so quiet! I always heard that Noctuas were quiet and efficient, but seeing first hand really is believing! Super cool temps on my 3700x and the fans hardly ever ramp up. The cooler is taller than I expected, but going from a down-firing cooler to a full tower probably set me up to see things a certain way. I will absolutely be giving Noctua my business again!

> 3 dayI purchased this to replace a giant CoolerMaster after the 6 year old thermal paste degraded and nearly resulted in a fried CPU. I would not have been able to reuse the CoolerMaster without disassembling half of the PC and finding a driver with a 90 degree bend to fit under the heatsink. The install with this Noctua was a breeze; I didnt have to remove a single component to do so. It managed to keep the old overheated/unstable i7-3770k under 61°C during the light gaming that I was using it for (I added a second Noctua 120mm fan for push/pull). The color scheme ends up looking pretty nice but the aesthetics might not be right for every build. This went into my old Corsair case with no plastic or tempered glass window so the aesthetics didnt really matter in my case.

> 3 daySimplemente la calidad eclipsa cualquier disipador del rango del precio de este Noctua. Jamas dudes en invertir tus 60 € en este Noctua y no con otros posiblemente más vistosos o coloridos, pero nada que ver con los materiales que componen este disipador.

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. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended 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 compoundHaving 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. |
