> 3 dayHello person on the internet! If you are looking to see if this works as intended, and well, its perfect. Take it from someone that would overheat with 3 liquid cooled fans. I did a test run with this fan, no extra fans included, and my pc didnt overheat. Connecting it was a breeze.

> 3 dayProduit installé sur CM socket 1151, I7 7700K...Facile à installer, intuitif et rapide (environ 10 min) domage que le 2ème ventilo ne soit pas inclu, cela éviterait une ouverture de boitier pour rien (façon de parler). Assez imposant mais pas trop, sur ma Z270, le ventilo arrive à peine à côté de la 1ere barrette de ddr....donc cest parfait !

Greater than one weekI had a h80i v2 water cooler for a while - it started getting noisy a few years back, and eventually failed (It lasted maybe 1-2 years before it started giving me trouble). I installed this bad boy for only 60 bucks and my CPU runs comparably cool at (sitting at 39c at 7% load at the moment on a Skylake i7). I will be installing a second fan to it, as well as an additional fan to the top of my case which should bump me down a bit.

> 3 dayHo scelto questo dissipatore per lassemblaggio di un PC di fascia alta. Lho installato su una MSI Pro Series ed è silenziosissimo, oltre che realmente efficiente. Altamente consigliato! Il costo è più che onesto per la tipologia del prodotto e la qualità dei materiali; spedizione rapidissima con Prime.

> 3 dayIve been running stock cooler on i7 4790k for a good few years but its been bottlenecking due to OC and heat, finally got one of these and wow! The CPU runs 10-20 degrees cooler both idle and under pressure. Very quiet too! Should have got this sooner.

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. |
