> 24 hourKeeps my Intel i9 quite and cool. Although it is very large. Make sure you have enough clearance inside your case. The 160 mm fan works well and is not noisy.

> 24 hourThe best of the best. Lets me run my i5 750 at 4.2Ghz, temps never go higher than 60C. Thats amazing, as my old cooler (Artic Freezer 11) would hit 74c at 2.8 Ghz. Quiet, super-high quality, easy to install. Very pleased with purchase, would buy again.

> 24 hourIncuriosita dal clamore suscitato online ho acquistato questo dissipatore pur temendo di non riuscire a montarlo. Seguendo le istruzioni sia cartacee sia reperendo un qualsiasi tutorial video online sono riuscita in poco tempo ad installare il dissipatore, mentre ho avuto qualche problema nel riposizionare la ventola in dotazione temendo perfino di averla rotta (alla fine è andato tutto bene, per fortuna!)

> 24 hourposé sans problème technique dans un boitier fractal design R5 et sur une carte mère asus z97-A. Le processeur i7 4790K est à 35° au repos et lorsquil monte en température et que le ventilateur tourne plus vite, jentends un micro souffle à peine audible. Cest un vrai plaisir!

> 24 hourInaudible performance unless you turn the fan speed to 100%, and even then all you hear is a humming. With an i5-8600k, I have temperatures of 27°C on idle.

> 24 hourReasonably easy to mount, quiet. Good instructions. Comes with everything youll need for AMD or Intel mounting in the box. You will need access to the back of your motherboard, so if your case doesnt have a cutout for that, youll have to pull the board out to mount this. I didnt do any benchmarking, as its in a media PC thats used for SOME gaming (mostly HOTS and Rocket League). My sole concern was it being quiet, and it very much does that.

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. |
