> 3 dayQuality Air Cooler for what I do and thats gaming. I do not over clock my CPU that much but let the motherboard do its overclocking boost with a button. When I had my Intel stock air cooler and gaming, my CPU wound reach temps around 70-80 Celsius and with the Noctua NH-U12S the temps reach around 60-68 Celsius. Something that I was skeptic about but am a true believer with the Nactua air coolers. This model has 5 heat pipes and plenty of room for your ram too. Always take a look at their website because they have very good detailed dimensions for each fan model and which ones are for serious over clocking etc.

> 3 daySolved my Intel i7-2600k overheating problem instantly. Had to remove my Asus Sabertooth P67 mobo to install, but had to remove the motherboard anyway because the BIOS battery died and I had to remove the thermal armour from the mobo to replace the battery - was an awful design flaw by Asus for that mobo.

> 3 dayHello person on the internet! If you are looking to see if this works as intended, and well, its perfect. Take it from someone that would overheat with 3 liquid cooled fans. I did a test run with this fan, no extra fans included, and my pc didnt overheat. Connecting it was a breeze.

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. |
