07-06-2025Easy to follow instructions and works great. Vastly outperforms my stock CPU cooler and keeps my temps in the 50s even when gaming. If only they got rid of the tan and brown fans.

> 3 dayIch bestellte den Noctua NH-U12S über Amazon direkt von Noctua als B-Ware, welche in der Artikelbeschreibung als sehr gut qualifiziert war vom Verkäufer. Angekommen ist es mit an den Ecken zerdrückter Artikelverpackung, was aber keinesfalls weder die Transportsicherheit noch meine Meinung über das Produkt beeinträchtigt. Denn der Kühler selbst war in einem einwandfreien, neuwertigen Zustand. Mit dabei war unzähliges Zubehör und Montierungskits für AMD- und Intel-Mainboards. Ich bin rundum sehr zufrieden. Nach der Montage und Verwendung der mitgelieferten Wärmeleitpaste sind meine CPU-Temps um rund 10 Grad gesunken. Zuvor verwendete ich den AMD Wraith Prism mit der bereits installierten Wärmeleitpaste. Der Kühler von AMD war nicht schlecht, aber trotz unzähliger Änderung der Lüfterkurve und sehr guter Gehäuse-Durchlüftung konnte ich die Temperaturschwankungen und Geräuschpegel des Kühlers nicht in den Griff kriegen. Jetzt ist alles super, höre nichts mehr und keine Temperaturschwankungen mehr. Meine CPU ist die Ryzen 7 2700X ohne OC.

> 3 dayDer Lüfter wurde in der Originalverpackung mit extra Noctua-Umverpackung geliefert. Wenn ich nicht gewusst hätte, dass es ein gebrauchter generalüberholter Lüfter ist, hätte ich es nicht bemerkt. Sieht aus wie neu, alles Zubehör (auch für AM4) ist entahlten. Der Preis ist naturlich hoch, aber das Produkt ist entsprechend hochwertig. Ich hatte auch noch Kontakt mit dem Support wegen einiger Fragen und habe schnelle, freundliche und hilfreiche Antworten bekommen (beide Daumen HOCH!).

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. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended 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. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundHaving received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua"s NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. |
