    Prodotto top, silenzioso ed efficiente; mantiene la temperatura del mio i5 2500k in stock a 28-29 gradi con pochi sotto carico di max 40-45; ho in case mATX nessun problema di montaggio, quella con la ventola da 14 cm non ci sarebbe entrata, con questo dissipatore nessun problema..in OC A 4,2ghz in idle la cpu sta a 36-38 gradi e sotto carico a 50-53 gradi...acquisto top, nulla da invidiare al fratello maggiore o a sistemi a liquido..:D

    I replaced a stock Wraith Spire on my Ryzen 5 2600X with this cooler and I am very impressed. The stock cooler was fine, but this one is just a cut above; its silent and keeps temperatures well down (Idles in the low 40ºC range, peaks at around 79-80ºC under sustained load with an all-core 4GHz stable clock and is still extremely quiet).

    Davvero silenziose, ma solo se usato con le resistenze e impostando dal bios il minimo regime di rotazione, altrimenti si sentono, altro che storie. Efficienza ottima, impostata come descritto sopra mi tiene un i7 4790 non overcloccato in full a 50 °C, ma credo che aumentando gli rpm e togliendo le resistenze si possa fare un po di più, dipende dai gusti e dalle esigenze, io voglio il silenzio.

    New build - New Intel i-5 Chip - need good chip fan. I have built many computers and this is about the best fan I have ever used. Mounting is slightly different but the instructions are clear. Fan has been running for a year now - strong and quiet. Very Pleased.

    I replaced all the stock fans in my case and my stock CPU cooler. My first impression was this is a lot quieter. The processor appears cooler but I didnt record good numbers before I change the CPU cooler. My gut feeling is about 15c cooler. What I have noticed is (1) that my computer seems faster; supporting my belief that the processor was throttling and (2) Ive noticed that the air coming out he back of my case feels warmer. These observations indicate that the stock cooler was doing very little cooling and the processor was simply avoiding getting warm by slowing itself down a lot. Im done with stock coolers and am now a Noctua fan. (No really, that pun wasnt intended but once I saw it, I decided to keep it.)

    Noctua tiene fama de fabricar de los mejores ventiladores en el mercado y lo confirmé con este. Muy buena calidad y funcionamiento perfecto después de 6 meses de uso. El color café no me encanta, pero funcionalmente, me parece que es totalmente recomendable

    Ventirad vraiment très efficient, je le trouve plus efficace et plus silencieux que mon Dark Rock Pro 3.

    For the past 3 years I have been on a crusade to make my PC inaudible, I replaced all my fans with Noctua ones, upgraded my air cooler to a Noctua NH-U14s, flashed my GPUs BIOS to enable 0rpm fan mode, you name it, Ive tried it.

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.
