> 3 dayIl miglior dissipatore ad aria che abbia mai visto: le heatpipe fanno un lavoro egregio: la ventola è talmente silenziosa che il PC sembra spento, il software della motherboard riporta che la risposta è immediata e sensibile anche a basse tensioni e basso numero di giri che consente un raffreddamento continuo senza necessità di farla girare al massimo. E inclusa la pasta termoconduttiva, non è quindi necessario acquistarla a parte.

> 3 dayWhen it says Ultra-Quiet, they really mean it! Clear instructions and easy to install. It comes with all required stuff to suit either Intel or AMD processors and the related motherboards.

> 3 dayGood packaging. Just was a bit struggle to get out the cooler from the bottom of the box. Cooler is good quality, came with everything needed to install, including thermal paste. Instructions were very detailed and clear, installation was a breeze. Had no issues installing on 1151 Intel problem.

> 3 dayI have an old 77W TDP Intel in an old SilverStone SG05BB small-form-factor case, both from late 2012. When I put in a graphics card, I moved from the stock cooler to a Corsair H60. I didnt really find it much quieter. I decided to hack the location of the power supply so I could try cool this cooler instead. What a different! *This fits* and is so much more quiet. It genuinely brings me joy.

> 3 dayI am very happy with my purchase. I bought this as a replacement for another fan that was very noisy and couldnt cool the system at all whenever i launched a resource hungry app (e.g. Cyberpunk 2077) This one gets the job done almost using the massive heatsinks alone without the need to even turn on the fan. Excellent product.

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. |
