> 3 dayTrès bon ventirad, montage facile, livré (à lépoque) avec le kit de montage AMD ainsi que celui Intel. Il est à noter dailleurs que Noctua fournit gratuitement des kits de montages de migration pour les processeurs (récents) pour le parti adverse sur présentation de la facture dachat du ventirad. Lexpédition peut néanmoins être longue, cependant il est aussi possible de lacheter pour quelques euros sur Amazon.

> 3 dayThis is, by far, the easiest-to-install air CPU cooler Ive ever used. The slightly smaller heatsink profile allows greater case compatibility, yet the cooling performance does not appear to suffer at all. I purchased this to replace a Corsair H100i v2 because the pump rattle was driving me mad.

> 3 dayFantastic upgrade from the stock coolers that come with modern cpus. The cooler is dead silent noctua is the gold standard of fans for a reason, the temps on my system are as followed 40C on idle and below 65C on full load. Super happy with the purchase.

> 3 dayThe item supplied was pre-2019 with a missing AMD AM4 mount kit therefore completely useless. Very disappointed.

> 3 dayOutstanding packaging, awesome performance, mounting hardware and very quiet. Inaudible under regular CPU loads. Paired with 4790k- very happy. Will be buying another Noctua cooler for other build. Highly recommended!

> 3 dayJai choisis ce ventirad suite a une recommandation (amical) et afin de changer mon watercooling tout en un (jetable), jen avais déjà entendu du bien. Il nest pas forcément très esthétique certes mais si vous ne vous arrêtez pas à ça cest une véritable pépite !

> 3 dayNoctua products are always top notch, this is no exception. From the packaging to the additional wiring kit included to the performance of the product it never fails to impress. This replaced the OEM item which sounded like a vacuum cleaner, now I cant hear the fan! Very impressed (as usual)

11-06-2025non ricordo più quanti dissipatori Noctua ho usato. Tutti al top del top. Questo in particolare mi ha davvero impressionato per silenziosità ed efficenza. Il mio i7 9700k a riposo riporta in calce tra i 25 e i 30 gradi. Sotto sforzo mai andato oltre i 50.....che dire.....straconsigliato con 5 stelle piene

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. |
