    Il est volumineux et il faut donc bien choisir sa tour. Moi jai choisi la sobriété en prenant Corsair CC-9011075.

    The easiest cpu heat sink and fan to install. Tried others and had to go to YouTube to find how to install.

    Fiabilidad austriaca, facilisimo de instalar y ademas para mi es el mejor refrigerador de aire del mercado en cuanto a capacidad de enfriamiento.

    Managed to fit this into a corsair carbide series spec-01 case. I have a gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 r5 with an amd fx 8320 overclocked to 4.5Ghz. I had to mount my top fans outside of the case to pull it off, and the door slightly hits the heat pipes, but it works. I also purchased the extra fan, and my temps barely break 50C during stress testing. They usually sit around 25C idle.

    Justo entraba en mi torre y gracias a el he conseguido rebajar casi 30°C de la temperatura de la CPU respecto al ventilador que traía de Intel.

    This was without a doubt the easiest air cooler to install, and it yielded amazing results for the price. This cooler does work for a budget air cooler, this keeps my i5-4690k at under 30 degrees Celcius when web browsing and watching youtube videos, during a heavy gaming load it stays roughly around 35-42 degrees. The looks of this cooler is a good bonus too, Im sold on this cooler and will now purchase Noctua coolers only for rigs that I build.

    I fitted the Noctua NH-U12S on my i7 8700, the difference it makes is incredible, came from intel stock cooler - high 80s fully loaded to idle temps with the Noctura 23-26c & fully loaded 60-65c ! Impressive. Beautifully packaged with everything you need included. Highly recommend.

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.

NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fan

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.

NT-H1 thermal compound

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.
