> 3 daySuper easy to put together. Not the prettiest, but boy does it run well! Previously purchased a CoolerMaster and it was so difficult to put together. This Noctua is considerably larger and much easier. There are also YouTube videos on this specific model which helped us significantly!

> 3 dayI have been using the stock cooler on my 4790 since I bought it 6 years ago, with no issues. Recently I started running Folding@Home, and my computer has been unexpectedly shutting down. I checked the temperatures, and it was reaching 100C.

> 3 dayNoctua tiene fama de fabricar de los mejores ventiladores en el mercado y lo confirmé con este. Muy buena calidad y funcionamiento perfecto después de 6 meses de uso. El color café no me encanta, pero funcionalmente, me parece que es totalmente recomendable

> 3 dayI decided to go with a product that no one seemed to have issue with after experiencing problems with the original aftermarket fan I bought. Noctua products are a bit pricey, but I think this is a case where they are really worth it. Everything comes in a nice package with the tools you need for installation. Installation for me would have definitely been easier with someone to help, but thats true for most things isnt it? Once I set it up, it works perfectly. My CPU is overclocked and with this fan, even when playing demanding games or emulating them, it rarely exceeds 60 degrees Celsius. Very satisfied and has been working great for 2 years now.

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. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended 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 compoundHaving 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. |
