    Ich schreibe auf Amazon eher selten Rezensionen, aber hier erscheint es mir wirklich angebracht einen kurzen Text zum Produkt zu verfassen. Bislang erbrachte mein CPU-Lüfter nicht die gewünschte Kühlleistung, weshalb sich der Prozessor immer auf zwischen 60 - und 80°C befand (und das bei geringer Auslastung!). Ein neuer Lüfter musste also her - ich entschied mich für diesen da die bisherigen Bewertungen durchwegs positiv waren, was sich bereits beim öffnen des Paketes für mich bestätigte:

    Keeps my Core i7 4790K at 27 degrees Celsius. Great cooler with excellent temps! No water or stock coolers for me! Very satisfied!

    Keeps my Ryzen 7 at about 40C at idle and 60C when gaming.

    si que hay disipadores mas baratos , pero no tienen nada que ver, las temperaturas se clavan y no se oye nada, la instalación es supersencilla , se nota que hay calidad, los anclajes encajan perfectamente, si hay alguien que anda dudando que no se lo piense y no se arrepentirá ,no es un gasto es una inversión.

    è un dissipatore perfetto, silenzioso direi inudibile in confronto ad altri marchi del resto i prodotti Noctua costano abbastanza cari ma non hanno nessun problema, la confezione diciamo è De Luxe comprensiva di pasta termica

    Il dissipatore fa il suo lavoro, i materiali sono di qualità e tiene a bada le temperature. Consigliato. (prima di comprarlo controllate le dimensioni e controllate se entri nel case).

    Keeps my FX8320 cool. I have it clocked to 4.1 GHz and it hasnt got over 50C at full load (playing games like Far Cry primal, Battlefield 1, etc.).

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.
