    Matériel de haute qualité. Réellement satisfait. Presque 15°c de moins quavec Hyper TX3 EVO.

    A little tricky to install but not bad considering the space in my tower. It is very quiet and performs admirably under load or when most of my system is idle.

    The NH-U12S is an excellent air cooler. Had a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Black which failed after a few months. The fan starting making scraping sounds and then died. Had purchased Noctua years ago and a NH-U12P cooler which was excellent quality and decided to give them another chance even though the price was high.

    Gekauft aufgrund der anderen guten Rezensionen. Anbringung war einfach, Geräuschkulisse ist kaum wahrnehmbar. Wenn mein i7 unter Volllast läuft wird es schon ein bisschen warm, aber nicht bedenklich. Zusammen mit einem Gehäuselüfter nicht mal mehr warm jetzt.

    Its a good cooler but I wouldnt expect any great temperatures out of it or to give you a lot of OC headroom over other similar solutions, solid buy but the price might need some adjusting.

    Keeps my 65 w (!) cpu chilly. Very silent. Fits a lot of systems, both intel and and. Can be reused on future builds because Noctua will probably sell new brackets for future sockets. The only downside is it wont fit in some smaller cases ...

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.
