    Incuriosita dal clamore suscitato online ho acquistato questo dissipatore pur temendo di non riuscire a montarlo. Seguendo le istruzioni sia cartacee sia reperendo un qualsiasi tutorial video online sono riuscita in poco tempo ad installare il dissipatore, mentre ho avuto qualche problema nel riposizionare la ventola in dotazione temendo perfino di averla rotta (alla fine è andato tutto bene, per fortuna!)

    Very silent and keeps temperatures low.

    Running on an i7-4770k, destroyed the Corsair H100i I was running before, dropped my temperatures even at stock settings on the processor by 10-15 degrees. Highly recommended, mounting is ridiculously easy compared to some other air coolers out there as well.

    Quality Air Cooler for what I do and thats gaming. I do not over clock my CPU that much but let the motherboard do its overclocking boost with a button. When I had my Intel stock air cooler and gaming, my CPU wound reach temps around 70-80 Celsius and with the Noctua NH-U12S the temps reach around 60-68 Celsius. Something that I was skeptic about but am a true believer with the Nactua air coolers. This model has 5 heat pipes and plenty of room for your ram too. Always take a look at their website because they have very good detailed dimensions for each fan model and which ones are for serious over clocking etc.

    Quiet and efficient as advertised, works perfect with my 7700k and 120mm case. I manage to have the CPU at 35C idle/60C under load

    Cool product... keeps my desktop PC running (CPU: Intel i7-3820), silent. High quality and easy install but read the instructions carefully. Compatible with ASUS monitoring and fan speed control.

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.
