    Me ha bajado la temperatura del procesador de 70ºC cuando juego a 35ºC. No hay nada más que decir, una béstia

    Cools down i9-9900K just fine. Under small to moderate loads on the CPU the heatpipes do not need the fan to spin, and the CPU is staying 10-15 C over ambient. Only when the load increases the fan needs to spin, and is pretty quiet. Under max load I can hear the fan, but this is just physics, and short of installing water-cooling there not much one can do with any air-cooled solution. Very happy with the design and quality, definitely better than the comparable competition - way to go Noctua!

    Awesome cooler. Had to push down pretty hard on each corner to get it mounted. Running push-pull and getting max 58C at 4.7.

    Compre este disipador para un procesador Intel i5 6600k al que le tengo hecho un poco de OC (a 4.2 para ser mas exactos). Pues bien, antes de tener este disipador tenia un CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 y hay una diferencia abismal con este, ya no simplemente solo a ruido, si no a temperaturas y calidad de materiales. Nada mas abrir la caja, se nota una sensación de calidad y robustez que pocas marcas por este precio la pueden ofrecer. En cuanto al ventilador y al disipador, cuidado, es bastante grande y puede que tengais problemas con su tamaño y el tamaño de vuestra torre. Yo no he tenido problemas ya que dispongo de una caja bastante grande (Nox Hummer MC) pero aun así, al cerrar el lateral me roza un poco con los heatpipes. En todo caso, si teneis 60 euros para un disipador, este es de los mejores de su clase, si no el mejor. Las temperaturas en reposo se me quedan en unos 35 grados de media, cuando antes con el CoolerMaster no me bajaban de 42-43.

    Prestazioni elevate, silenziosissimo e facile da montare Noctua è imbattibile. Può non piacere il colore

    I decided to get a second gpu, and because of my previous coolers size (NH-U14S) I was unable to reinstall my soundcard. Since the NH-U12S uses the same mounting system, I had it installed in a few minutes. I still have great thermals and now I have enough space for a card in my top pci-e slot. 10/10 would recommend and purchase again

    Cest mon 6ème Noctua pour autant de PC assemblés depuis 9 ans... Toujours irréprochable en terme de finition et de refroidissement, super efficace sur un core i5K quad core à 4,2Ghz dans un boitier aéré (Fractal Design Focus G), ça reste toujours frais et en silence même en jeu et, dexpérience, même en été.

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.
