    I absolutely love the industrial design of Noctua products and this NH-U12S is no different. Its powerful, efficient and effective and still manages to look great!!! And the silence!!! :)

    Confermo in toto quanto scritto di positivo nelle altre recensioni, il dissipatore è davvero silenzioso e curato nei minimi dettagli. Lunico neo è la difficoltà a montare le ventole, a mio avviso si dovrebbe prevedere un diverso modo di installarle sul dissipatore. Ad ogni modo il prodotto è super consigliato

    Lo tengo instalado con un i5-4690K aún sin haberle hecho OC y en idle está a 28 ºC. Cuando haga OC al máximo veremos qué tal va, para eso compraré más ventiladores y haré que mi caja sea una nevera (ya lo es, de hecho, pero insisto en que no he hecho OC). Puedo tocar los heatpipes al lado del procesador en medio de una aplicación exigente y no quema. Aún no lo he visto a plena potencia. Ahora, destacar el embalaje y montaje. Abrir la caja, verlo todo ordenadísimo y aprovechando el máximo espacio, la presentación, y luego instalarlo ha sido para mí muy entretenido. La pasta térmica es bastante buena.

    Well this CPU cooler for me is just the best! I cannot recommend it enough! The reason is because Ive chosen before this a liquid cooling which was corsair h80i which as a few other said it, the pump can start playing up after 3 months which is exactly what happened to me too! All of a sudden my pump on corsair started doing some funny noises and the temperatures jump in idle from 40 celsius to over 70 nearly to 80 which is a lot!!! So after reading some reviews online I found out that you cannot do much about the pump or its speed as this is apparently the cause of this noise and its poor performance!!!! So I decided to buy this amazing cooler which performs a lot better than the corsair h80i even under load test!!! Where the corsair h80i was keeping my CPU at @ 65 to 70 celsius under full load this keeps it at @ 52 to 53 celsius which is far mor better plus that this has no parts that can go wrong at any time!!! Plus the very well building feel and look of this cooler is just outstanding!

    This fan is great. I have an over clocked fx 6300 to 4.5ghz. Used to run very hot with stock heat sink, it now idles in the mid 20 Celsius. This one specifically great if you dont want anything blocked on your motherboard. Best heat sink money can

    I can barely tell when the computer is on after installing this cooling set, the fan is almost completely silent. Unlike its bigger cousins, the U12S is also reasonably sized to allow easy access to the ram slots on my Z490 mobo.

    For the price, this cooler is an absolute king. It has the best fan for the job, plenty of cooling area, and a super easy and effective mounting system. Since getting this my thermals have dropped dramatically. The fact that this is only 70$ is a steal. Notctua is amazing.

    This is probably a good fan, but the one Amazon sent me was not. I know it wasnt tested by anyone, because there is a break inside a section of the power cord. I can get the fan to turn on only if I hold the power cord in a certain position. I pulled it out and replaced it with my old fan. If I could give zero stars I would.

    Sin duda el mejor disipador que he tenido, con mejor rendimiento que algunos refrigeradores líguidos

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.
