> 3 dayChe noctua sia noctua è risaputo. Ma qui si superano le aspettative. Nella confezione cè tutto ciò che serve, ma proprio tutto, persino il giravite a croce!!! Montaggio semplicissimo. Unica nota....il dissipatore è davvero enorme, non ci avevo badato, per fortuna nel mio aerocool ds230 ci è entrato, ma per poco!!! Con le ram invece nessun problema, il suo rialzo te le fa scordare, puoi girarlo come vuoi e non le tocca!!!

> 3 dayIf youve ever installed a cooler on your CPU, you know the utter torture that came with the process of attaching it to the CPU/mobo. Once you understand the idea behind this particular cooling tower design, you will see how this system is more efficient and user friendly than anything Ive ever seen. Id call it revolutionary (I dont own company stock - Im just a consumer). The key here is knowing that the metal BACKplate of your motherboard CPU is a critical component, and if you take both black plastic AM4 brackets off at the same time, that plate will FALL to the inside back of the case. Youre gonna need that plate to stay snuggled up to its original position on the backside of the mobo. If it falls, youre likely gonna have to take the entire mobo out of the case to do this install (a MUCH MORE lengthy and frustrating process).

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. |
