    lho acquistato perché il mio i7 970 raggiungeva quasi sempre i 100° per fare conversioni da dvd ad mp4 con nero 15, ma anche in altre situazioni, ieri sono riuscito a montarlo e ho fatto una sola prova ma la temperatura non ha superato i 50°.

    Questo dissi è una bomba va da dio , su 4790k le mie temperature sono bassissime , ho montato 2 ventole al dissi ed ho un case corsair 500r ben ventilato e questa estate con giochi tipo far cry4 a 1080 p ultra la temperatura max dopo 4 ore era di 38gradi quindi nulla da inviare al raffreddamento a liquido ora invece a riposo le temp sono di 19-21gradi

    Very solid CPU cooler with great and quiet performance - in a decently solid case, its nearly inaudible, even with a second fan attached to it. Additionally, even when you hear it, its not only quiet and only on a OCed processor, its also a pleasantly unobtrusive sound signature - no whirring, whistling or intermittent changes.

    Although it is a little expensive you get what you pay for, I love this cooler, my a10-7850k never goes above 45C

    I had just built my first budget gaming desktop in March 2020 (finished it 2 days before lockdown at college, so good timing), but determined my i3-9100f needed to be upgraded. This cooler works great with the i7-9700k I just upgraded to and I was even able to try out overclocking for the first time, and this cooler has been running all 8 cores at 5.1GHz stably. I havent tried to go further (I havent really checked temps), but for all I know, I think it may even work past that. This far exceeded my expectations.

    I was feeling cheap when I built my latest rig, and installed the stock Intel cooler on a LGA 1150 CPU. Especially on warmer days, it would sit there making a fairly annoying whining sound, so it was finally time to do something else. As soon as you open the box, the NH-U12 is impressive, with the parts arranged in smaller boxes. The mounting kit had a page of instructions for the 1150 socket with well-written, clear instructions and illustrations.

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.
