    Kühlt meine AMD FX-8350 CPU bei 22°C Raumtemperatur bei Vollast auf 47°C. Die etwas Betagte CPU setzt dabei immerhin 125W um. Der Preis für den Kühler ist für mich gerade noch akzeptabel.

    Great thin cooler, it does keep my Intel i5 under 50C when doing stress test over an hour with ~30% fan speed.

    Migliore dissipatore ad aria che abbia mai avuto, fattura perfetta, super silezioso e facilissimo da montare/smontare. Abbinato ad uno Xeon E3-1231 V3 al 100% non supera i 50 C. Consigliatissimo.

    Ho acquistato il dissipatore usato in ottime condizioni per 39 euro. Purtroppo mi è arrivato con la piastra di contatto completamente storta. A questo prezzo è da considerarsi un ottimo acquisto. A prezzo pieno non lo sarebbe assolutamente stato. Facile da montare e silenzioso, materiali di qualità, ma mi aspettavo qualcosina in più per quanto riguarda la capacità di raffreddamento del mio Ryzen 5 3600x. Le temperature in idle sono rimaste quasi invariate (2-3 gradi di differenza), a fronte però di una notevole riduzione del rumore. Con Prime95 in full load -10 gradi rispetto al Wraith Spire stock di Amd (80 vs 90). Durante le importazioni ed esportazioni di Lightroom invece ottengo una temperatura di max 65 gradi a fronte degli 80 precedenti.

    Even overclocked my CPU doesnt reach over 60c per core with this. Running an i5-3570k in a Corsair 330r Blackout case.

    Allaltezza della fama del suo produttore conferma laccellente manifattura, accessoristica e confezionamento. Montato su socket 2011-3 e I7-5280K mi permette un overclock fino a 4.4GHz, con una sola ventola. Per pochi di millimetri sporge da un case largo 180mm, purtroppo, mentre sul fronte RAM non presenta problemi se montato con ventola verticale, nemmeno usando memorie con profilo alto e doppia ventola. Nel verso orizzontale non ho provato ma potrebbe impattare con RAM ad alto profilo. Nessun apparente intralcio con schede GPU pur ingombranti.

    I was skeptical about air cooling at first, especially since I was putting it in i7 5930k(a notoriously hot processor), but it did great. However I did notice it did start to warm up the room after a few hours of intense gaming. If you dont have AC water cooling might be a better option.

    Matériel de haute qualité. Réellement satisfait. Presque 15°c de moins quavec Hyper TX3 EVO.

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.

NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fan

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.
