> 24 hourI hate noise. I love Noctua. I replace fans in most of my equipment with Noctua fans. I can no longer hear my CPU so thats 1 item off the list.

> 24 hourNoctua es posiblemente la referencia a seguir ,excelente presentacion, acabados y construccion y lo mas importante es que la temperatura me ha bajado de 10 a 15 grados menos con todo lo que ello representa, recomendable al 100%

> 24 hourPurchased this for a Ryzen 3600/GTX 1660ti build on ROG Strix B550 mobo with 32 GB 3200 RAM & Samsung 2 TB SSD. It looks amazing and the doo doo brown fan is its own signal of quality. CPU temps run 31-34 F at idle, and spikes are 51-55 F. Spikes reduce to 38-40 F during load within 1 second of the Noctua fan curve kicking in. The fan is also very quiet. I daresay my LED case fans are louder.

> 24 hourIt does the thing it was claiming to be doing. Now the loudest thing is the MSI Radeon 6500XT right below it...

> 24 hourMi sono trovato a chiedermi quanta attenzione ai dettagli si possa mettere nella realizzazione di un componente (un dissipatore per CPU) generalmente anonimo. Pensavo che più o meno si assomigliassero tutti, ma mi sbagliavo. Il Noctua che ho preso è ottimo, robusto, elegante. Funziona perfettamente e ne consiglierei decisamente lacquisto a chiunque abbia qualche soldo da spendere per un dissipatore.

> 24 hourI originally bought a 212 LED turbo as i was happy with the Cooler Masters in the past. However, I was doing an AM4 build and that cooler only dissipates the air vertically, towards top of the case. Ultimately the orientation meant it did not fit over my memory cards with the heat spreaders. I bought this cooler with an additional fan and was amazed by the quietness. I mean whisper quiet. It fit as it includes a bracket solution to fit in any orientation.

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. |
