    This Noctua CPU fan cooler for the LGA-1150 socket processors is simply amazing. What else can I say but that the construction is superb, with all high quality components, and excellent thermal paste included. But beyond the obvious high quality is something else youll notice right away ... or WONT notice, because this fan is so quiet that you cannot hardly hear it in operation, even when you put your ear up to your open CPU case. It really is that quiet, and it is quite apparent that Noctua actually did do all the wind testing and fan blade experimentation to end up with a fan this quiet. I highly recommend this for anyone wishing to build a quiet computer, and you can purchase the Noctua fans separately (apart from this CPU cooler) in just about every size, so you can retrofit an entire case with these, if you want.

    Linstallation au début na pas été simple car le matériel fourni est fonction de la carte mère et donc il y a du reste dans les pièces à cause dune notice incompréhensible.

    April 2019: This is pretty good. Water cooled my last rig and was getting excellent results. But this past year, my friend had a leak in his cooling system and hosed his computers guts. Yeah, you bet I got a little scared so I moved back to air cooled. Actually switching back to air didnt matter because I bought a dedicated room air conditioner. For just under $125.00 at Frys it sank the NH-U12S temps below the water cooler temps. Wonderful for cpu based games.

    I hadnt realized how much noise my previous cooler (a 5 year old Zalman cooler) had been making until I replaced it due to its faulty external fan speed controller.

    Dissipayore di alta qualità ma basta leggere la marca . Non occupai 4 slot di ram anche se ho le corsair ad alto profilo. Temperature in idle con cpu amd 8320e che si aggirano sui 12-20 gradi . In gaming massimo 40 gradi. Prima avevo un seidon 120 v a liquido e non cè veramente paragone. Consigliatissimo.

    Utilizzata in coppia su un processore Intel i5-4690K (3,5 Ghz) restituisce temperature tra i 30°C e i 40°C. Ha permesso un overclock del processore a 4,5 Ghz con temperature non superiori ai 47°C. In idle quasi non si sente e gira a circa 200rpm, quando il pc lo richiede però tira fuori i muscoli senza però risultare eccessivamente rumorosa, giocando poi, il sonoro copre completamente il rumore proveniente dalla ventola.

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.
