    Ho comprato questo dissipatore più di un anno fa e lho trovato ottimo fin da subito. Mantaggio facile e perfettamente stabile, pasta temrica ottima ma la ventola un po rumorosa per gli standard Noctua. Lho sostituta con una Noctua Nf-S12A Pwm e va decisamente meglio, quasi non si sente.

    The packaging was nicely done and the product feels very premium. Noctua sends you a screwdriver, AMD and intel mounting brackets, extra rubber corners for the fan, and thermal paste to help you install the cpu cooler. The fans are super quite and barely audible on idle. My temps are excellent as well.

    I like this unit, it is high quality, and uses standard size fans. It fit my case perfect. The mounting is better than the Zalman it replaced

    Keeps my 5820k under 50°C. Installation is easy and straightforward. Packaging is really nice and you feel the premium. Totally recommended.

    My computer is located in the same room where I record voice audio. Although relatively quiet, it was loud enough to be picked up my my microphone, especially when the CPU was under stress. Most of this noise came from two sources: the CPU fan and an older hard disk drive. After replacing both, the CPU fan with this Noctua NH-U12S, and the hard drive with a solid state drive, I dropped the sound level by 8 decibels, from 35 db down to 27db. I cant even tell when my computer is on, and my room is almost silent.

    Sorprende al abrir la caja la cantidad de accesorios que encuentras, pasta térmica, anclajes para un segundo ventilador (no incluido), gomas anti vibración, destornillador, adaptadores para tu placa ya sera Intel o AMD.

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.
