    Fantastic for i5/i7. I switched to an i9 recently and I think I need to move up to something heftier. This is a solid product through and through though, I idle at room temperature.

    La ventola si monta facilmente (contiene anche la pasta gel da utilizzare) e la confezione contiene tutti gli adattatori per gestire le varie motherboard e processori. In funzione non si sente minimamente e dai test effettuati, riesce a mantenere la temperatura del processore a livelli ottimali.

    Vabè, Noctua è Noctua, qualità assoluta, niente è lasciato al caso, nella scatola tutto è perfettamente ordinato, il dissipatore non è particolarmente massiccio, ma lo volevo proprio così, perché non overclocco. Attualmente stà raffreddando un 5930k a default, con circa 25° di temperatura ambiente il processore ha circa 35° in idle, con ventola al massimo da motherboard, MA montando il cavetto low noise adapter. In full load, con Intel Burn Test, è arrivato sui 68°, un po tanti, togliendo il low noise adapter scenderebbero sicuro, ma prediligo il silenzio alla temperatura. Poi IBT è noto per far scaldare il processore oltre ogni limite.

    Bought to replace a failed liquid cooling system. Installation was very easy. Clear instructions. All required parts including thermopaste included. Super quiet and keeps the CPU temperature well within specs. Highly recommended. Would certainly get again. A much simpler system that just works.

    Massive improvement over stock cooler for an AMD FX-8320. Very quiet, idle temps close to ambient, with max load temp of 52 degrees. Very well packaged with excellent instructions and one of the best mounting systems I have seen.

    Sistema di montaggio facile e intuibile, e prestazioni molto buone (sicuramente meglio del cooler stock del ryzen 7 3700x).

    Excellent product, had a high quality finish and the fitting instructions were very helpful. This cooler reduced my temps by 20° all round.

    As expected, its big and hardly fitted in my mid-tower. For the cooling tho, its a very good cooler, so far Ive overclocked my fx-8320 to 4.2ghz, and it never went over 55C (cpu at 100% for 20 minutes) (*not the one from the picture*)

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.

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.
