    Simplemente la calidad eclipsa cualquier disipador del rango del precio de este Noctua. Jamas dudes en invertir tus 60 € en este Noctua y no con otros posiblemente más vistosos o coloridos, pero nada que ver con los materiales que componen este disipador.

    Wow, what a difference. I built my PC about 5 years ago with the following main pieces: Intel i7-2600k CPU with stock Intel cooler, CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB , Cooler Master HAF 932 tower case, and ASUS P8Z68-V PRO motherboard. At idle my CPU would read 23-27 degrees C. I started having CPU overheating problems with some new Blu-ray copy software I was running. During the read phase the CPU would go to 83 degrees C and then shutdown with BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death). I finally decided to replace the stock cooler with this unit. Wow! At idle it now runs 19-22 C and the software now peaks at 30 degrees C. Big difference.

    Installé sur un ryzen 5 3600x, celui ci ne chauffe pas du tout. Le ventilateur est très silencieux. Design digne de Noctua.

    Easy to install, keeps the CPU very cool, and the fan is very quiet. If I ever choose to overclock my processor I can attach an additional fan to dissipate the heat. Its done a great job in my system.

    Devo ammettere che non sono abituato a spingere l limite il processore, di conseguenza non so dire quale sia il risultato in condizioni critiche.

    OMG! I had to look to make sure the fan was actually running after installing the Noctua cooler. After YEARS of thinking my computer was haunted using the stock cooler and having to endure the constant woooo, WooOOOoooo, WOOOOOOO, I have the sound I wanted. nothing! The stock cooler did a good job keeping the CPU temps down but the sounds of waking up in a haunted house at 3am had to go!

    Amazing product by an amazing company. However amazon is selling old stock of this product that does not have socket 1700 mounting hardware.

    Outstanding packaging, awesome performance, mounting hardware and very quiet. Inaudible under regular CPU loads. Paired with 4790k- very happy. Will be buying another Noctua cooler for other build. Highly recommended!

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.

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.
