Greater than one weekTotally satisfied purchase, Id totally buy another one in the future. Its kind of pricey for an air cooler but I guess thats the premium you pay for such a quiet and functional cooler.

> 3 dayLa cosa che mi ha sbalardito di più non è la qualità del prodotto (chi mi aspettavo) o i video su come effettuare il montaggio (che non mi aspettavo) o una dotazione completissima (che non mi aspettavo) o la cura nei dettagli (sembra un prodotto Apple) MA la semplicità estrema nel montarlo. Consigliatissimo.

> 3 dayIf youre looking at this, dont look elsewhere. Wont find a better cpu cooler. Have my cpu over clocked quite a bit and this thing keeps it cool. Held steady @ 48°C during a 15 min stress test, I didnt need to go any further. The silver heat paste it comes with was perfect, as I didnt have to purchase any elsewhere.

> 3 dayCame from a Wraith Prism cooler on a Ryzen 3900x. Thinking of swapping out the fans for the A12x25 PWM fans, however the installation and performance of this thing is brilliant. Installation took no less than just five minutes, manuals being easy to read and fairly easy to screw in and mount the cooler.

> 3 dayIch hatte vorher den Arctic Silver, der auf mein neues Board aber nicht mehr passte (Sockel 1151). Deswegen habe ich mich für den Noctua entschieden, da es hier eine umfassende Kompatibilitätliste für Mainboards auf der Webseite gibt (und meines auch als ok aufgeführt war).

Greater than one weekfantastic product, really easy to install (my BeQuiet one beforehand was a total pain to install) - and it runs cooler and quieter than the heavy older bequiet one. Worth the extra cost I think (note am running an Ivy Bridge I7, not overclocked)

> 3 dayEasy to follow instructions and works great. Vastly outperforms my stock CPU cooler and keeps my temps in the 50s even when gaming. If only they got rid of the tan and brown fans.

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. |
