    Nach dem ich letztes Jahr mir den NH-D9L CPU Kühler von Noctua für mein mitx Gehäuse geholt hatte und super zufrieden war.

    This fit in my midtower case with very little room to spare. Installation was easy other than having to remove my motherboard to install the mounting bracket but that is my cases fault not the fan. Bought to replace what I thought was a slightly noisy CPU fan. I was wrong, it was VERY noisy, I just didnt notice until Id installed this Noctua. I cant hear my machine running at all now.

    Der wohl am einfachsten zu montierende CPU Kühler (für socket 115x) der mir je untergekommen ist. Alles absolut Narrensicher, montiert in weniger als 2 Minuten.

    Nachdem ich mich mit dem Kundenservice in Verbindung gesetzt habe, war nach 2 Tagen bereits das AM4 Kit bei mir zu Hause. Nun passt alles, vielen Dank. Toller Kühler, kaum zu hören und perfekte Kühlleistung

    Montata su un AMD Ryzen 3700X, la ventola che avevo prima, la Prism data in dotazione col processore, continuava a salire e scendere di rotazione facendo un rumore fastidiosi. Con questo dissipatore è tutto diventato più silenzioso e le temperature sono sotto controllo. Certo i colori sono brutti, se avete soldi da spendere prendete pure la versione tutta nera.

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.

NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fan

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.

NT-H1 thermal compound

Having 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.
