> 3 dayDer CPU-Kühler aus Österreich ist sehr hochwertig. Er ließ sich kinderleicht installieren und passt gut zu meinem mATX-Board und MIDI-Gehäuse. Die beigelegten Installationsanweisungen waren in Englisch, aber wegen der Bilder universell verständlich. Wenn notwendig, kann man sie in anderen Sprachen auf der Homepage von Noctua herunterladen. Der Kühler passt auf die Sockel 115x und AM4, alles dafür notwendige war beigelegt. Er geht auch auf anderen Sockeln, die dazu notwendigen Teile kann man sich bei Noctua bestellen. Bei mir sitzt er flüsterleise auf einem Intel i7 8700 (ohne Übertaktung, dafür ist der Kühler wohl nur bedingt geeignet und meine CPU gar nicht). Die Lieferung erfolgte innerhalb von 2 Tagen. Insgesamt macht die Firma Noctua einen sehr guten Eindruck, guter Produktsupport. Der Preis ist angemessen.

> 3 dayIf you upgrade anything on a build, this would be the place to start. Nearly silent under load and brings the temps back 20 degrees easy. I was missing 2 screws for the mounting bracket. Contacted Noctua directly and they were quick to respond and send me the parts free of charge. Excellent product and excellent service.

> 3 dayWorks great out of the box. A second fan is optional and isnt needed unless you are pushing your cpu really hard. 4700K at 4.2 with the single fan and it keeps idle temp the same as my internal temp. Load temps around 58-62.

Greater than one weekDer Stock-Lüfter an meinem Intel i5 3570K wurde durch den Noctua ersetzt. Bekanntermaßen hat die dritte Generation von Intels Prozessoren das Problem der Wärmeableitung mittels Heatspreader. Dieses Problem hat dazu geführt, dass der Stocklüfter immer mehr Arbeit zu tun hatte. Abhilfe hat der Noctua geschaffen. Gut verarbeitet und kaum hörbar.

Greater than one weekThis fan completely exceeded my expectations. For the first time in my life my computer is completely silent. Game for hours and this is more than capable of keeping up.

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. |

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. |
