06-06-2025Great cooler, upgraded from wraith prism. Had a 10°c drop on the max and a 4° drop on the low. Easy to install. Threw on another fan for push/pull as it comes with 2 extra fan clips. Best part is the noise difference between the wraith prism and this. Always recommend Noctua.

Greater than one weekProdotto eccellente e dalla qualità vermamete alta. Estremamente semplice il montaggio. Ottima la ventola in dotazione, sileziona e raffredda molto bene. Premetto che non faccio overclock, ho un i7-4790 non K, quindi a valori di fabbrica. Durante il caldo estivo del sud, ero sui 35 gradi in idle e 50 in gaminig. Buona dotazione degli accessori, compreso il kit per il montaggio della seconda ventola. Daltronde Noctua è una gartanzia

> 3 dayI have an AMD 3600 on an Asus motherboard used mainly for 4k video editing and I have not seen the CPU temps above the mid 40s C. It a new system that I have just finished so my results are not exhaustive. I am running a Raid 10 array with a total of 8 harddrives so my case has a fairly high heat load. The cooler fan is almost silent and was super easy to install. Its bigger than the factory supplied fan and has no clearance issues with my low profile ram.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 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 compatibilityThanks 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. |
