> 3 dayI had the Hyper 212 Evo and replaced it with this. Love it as the installation was very easy compared to the 212 Evo. I was also able to use this with no problems with the memory cards as they are high profile. I am using it with the push/pull configuration and the temps are from 27 to low 30s. Very effective. Some complained about the color which does not bother me as I am impressed with its performance.

> 3 dayEverything that needs to be said already said for this cooler. One of best solution for silent air cooling. Using it with i7-6700k and Maximus Gene VIII. No clearance issues for big DDR4 modules .

> 3 dayworks extremely well and my god is it quiet, upgraded from a stock AMD cooler (which sounds like an engine at high rpms lol). i know noctua products are pretty prices but in my opinion they are worth the money. and for me this was my first aftermarket cpu heatsink ive installed, same with applying thermal compound and was really easy to install.

> 3 dayHo comprato questo prodotto in sostituzione di un altro dissipatore, un Noctua NH-L9i. Premesse, la temperatura qui al sud è ancora molto elevata, quindi consideriamo temperature estive. Ho un i7 4790k, e le terperature a riposo oscillano fra i 30 e i 35. In giochi come Battlefield 4, invece non supera i 45°. In altri anche meno... Con il vecchio dissipatore le temperature in load erano più alte di almeno 30° in più! Sono più che soddisfatto. La silenziosità è poi disarmante. Inudibile. Consigliato!

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)

Greater than one weekHo montato questo dissipatore su una cpu i7 9700k, e facendo alcuni test la temperatura non supera i 65 gradi. Direi che è più che accettabile per un dissipatore ad aria. Lo consiglio a chiunque non possa permettersi un raffreddamento a liquido, è una valida alternativa in relazione al prezzo.

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. |
