> 24 hourSiempre escuché la buena reputación de Noctua, pero estoy sorprendido. De entrada, el producto llega super bien empacado, y en la caja encuentras absolutamente todo para instalarlo: instructivos para cada tipo de socket, tornillería, brackets, pasta térmica, llave y desarmador, hules anti-vibración de repuesto, y más. No necesitas NADA más. La instalación se realizó en 15 mins siguiendo el instructivo para mi LGA1151. Una vez encendido el equipo, me sorpendí mas: es real que no hacen absolutamente nada de ruido. Hasta cierto punto creí que algo había conectado mal, porque es sumamente silencioso. Modifiqué la curva del ventilador, y aún así estando al 100% es imperceptible. Finalmente, el funcionamiento fue esperado: 20°C menos que el cooler anterior (tengo un i5-9600k, el cooler que usaba antes era el stock de un i3-9100f).

> 24 hourVery quiet but a bit bulkier than i thought it would be. If you have a smaller case there are other noctua fans out there tho. This one was fine for a mid size case or above.

> 24 hourIm pasting this review from my website but you will have to go to my website in order to see the benchmark results because I cannot put pictures in Amazon reviews. I posted the link in the comments because Amazon doesnt allow URLs in reviews.

> 24 hourNoctua è la migliore in quanto a dissipatori e si vede subito. Confezione, contenuto, istruzioni e qualità generale altissima. Costa un po più di altri ma un motivo cè: Questi dissipatori si possono portare avanti per anni, e se si cambia cpu con un altro socket basta scrivere a noctua che, se previsto sul modello, ti invia gratuitamente le nuove staffe per non dover cambiare dissipatore.

> 24 hourI read lots of rave reviews on Noctua and now I see why. This has been my coolest CPU temp and quietest build yet. I went with one CPU fan since I read that having 2 fans didnt do that much more. (It comes with extra clips if you decide to get a second fan.) I have the Intel i7-4790K, 2 case fans in front, 1 in back, 1 on top, and CPU temp averages 27 C at idle. Bumps up to the high 30s under heavy load. All the parts are top-notch quality, even the packaging. It comes with separate parts and instructions for AMD or Intel. Instructions were easy to follow. Came with thermal compound, the good stuff too. Would have liked a different color scheme than Tatooine (doesnt match anything else I have in there), but functionality is what counts.

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. |
