    Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Noctua NH-U12S. Ich habe einen Intel Core i7-9700KF Prozessor - also habe ich einen zweiten NF-F12 120mm Lüfter auf der Rückseite hinzugefügt. Die Temperatur beträgt 30-35 Grad. Die Spiele sind 40-45 Grad. Gewicht 580 g plus zweiter Lüfter. Meine Meinung ist die beste bis zu 200 TDP. Fast unhörbar bei der Arbeit. Ich rate allen.

    This cooler is awesome. Great packaging, and quality construction. My CPU temps, even when overclocked, are _very_ low. Ive overclocked from 3.7 to 4.2, and the CPU is staying at or below 40C even while slammed with SETI workunits. The fan is also very quiet.

    Excellent CPU cooler. I have this cooling a Ryzen 1700X, idle temps are around 24C and under load around 45C (Gaming) Installation was a breeze and the cooler itself is of a very high standard. Everything you need is in the box with very easy to understand installation instructions. Highly recommended.

    Gut, die Farbe ist potthässlich (das einzige nichtschwarze/nichtrote Teil in meinem PC), aber das Ding erfüllt seinen Zweck: Leise & funktional.

    Impressively quiet, even when going full tilt. CPU temperatures barely move. Box comes with everything one would need for the already supported motherboards (even a screwdriver!). However, I needed to get an adaption kit to work with an AM4 motherboard which Noctua sent out very quickly. Really pleased with this cooler, and, should I ever need it, there are options to add another fan as well as upgrade the one already on it.

    Da schon fast alles gesagt wurde gehe ich nur auf die Temperatur ein.

    Kühlt meinen Prozessor auf freundliche 30-40 grad herunter. Macht mich sehr happy, da er wegen dem letzten Lüfter von Alpine oft überhitzt ist.

    Have used these for years. The best and quietest on market, period.

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.
