    Excellent quality, perfect size on my EVGA Z170 classified K with 4 sticks of ram and a GTX 970 with backing plate. plenty of clearance. And is keeping the 6600k at 25C (idle) and 45C to 47C under full game load. A full 8 degrees C under what my 212 is doing on an older 3570k system playing same games. That system idles at 31C and reaches 55C to 58C gaming. Probably not a fair temp comparison due to different chipset variables but Im very happy as the noctua is smaller, quieter and was a lot easier to install and in the future will be a lot easier to service due to its two screw mounting system which can be easily reached. Price was high but the quality was worth it and I am finding silence is golden.

    Questo è il mio secondo dissipatore Noctua che acquisto dopo che sono stata positivamente impressionata dal primo, anche se di modello diverso.

    El disipador es enorme pero en mi caja entraba bien aunque un poco justo. Por lo demás es exactamente lo que quería, estaba harto de ventiladores que da miedo tocarlos porque ya parece que se rompen o desencajan. Calidad salvaje y lo más importante y por lo que pagué este dineral: silencio absoluto, y cuando digo absoluto me refiero a eso, a esa maravillosa sensación de no saber si está girando, eso sí yo no juego, así que lo que quería era poder trabajar y navegar sin el menor ruido por lo que no sé si exigiendo mucho al procesador haría más ruido al girar a más vueltas.

    significantly reduced my i7-8700k temps from 65°C IDLE 90°+ In game to 45° idle and 70° MAX in any gaming situation: god of war max settings. forza horizon 5 max settings, battlefield 2042, etc. With a 3060ti.

    Great device, so much better than the stock one I was using. Just remember you’ll need access to the back of your motherboard

    I found my AM4 mounting bracket was a bit fiddly but once installed the cooler was really easy to screw down using the included noctua thermal paste Im seeing improved temperatures.

    Sehr einfache Montage, ist leise und passt auch in mein Mini-ITX Define Nano S case. Temperaturen sind gleich wie bei meinem Macho Rev.B der um einiges größer ist und schwierig einzubauen ist.

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.
