> 24 hourThe cooler itself is great. But got it with the wrong mounting bracketsin the kit, so i cant mount it or use it for my ne pc build. Waiting for response from Amazon on this issue.

> 24 hourIf you are thinking to spend the extra money for a noctua instead of other cheaper alternative you might have already searched the reviews online. Youd still be surprised how quite it is even you know the db values ahead from detailed reviews. Quality is just as good as its reputation unless you received a bad/used sample. However other components in your setup is most likely much noisier, especially when you need this much of cpu cooling you might have a powerful(ish) GPU as well, then that and/or the case fans will still keep your system noisy.

> 24 hourGood product easy to install comes with its own thermal compound. I dont know why intel socket ones cost more than AMD but it works great and silently.

> 24 hourNun ja sexy sieht der Kühler natürlich nicht aus, für mich ist es aber die ultimative Sorgenfrei-Lösung die man 5 Minuten nach dem Einbau vergisst. Sehr einfach zu montieren und selbst unter Last praktisch lautlos. Zukunftssicher auch bei neueren Sockets. Genau was ich wollte.

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. |
