> 3 dayInstallé sur un ryzen 5 3600x, celui ci ne chauffe pas du tout. Le ventilateur est très silencieux. Design digne de Noctua.

Greater than one weekI decided to get a second gpu, and because of my previous coolers size (NH-U14S) I was unable to reinstall my soundcard. Since the NH-U12S uses the same mounting system, I had it installed in a few minutes. I still have great thermals and now I have enough space for a card in my top pci-e slot. 10/10 would recommend and purchase again

> 3 daySo after a lot of research, I decided to buy this guy over the the larger D15 model , it has brought my i5 7600k to a nice 20-23ºC idle and a cool 54ºC max load.. I would say buy it over the hyper 212 evo if you have an extra $20-$40..

> 3 dayThis was without a doubt the easiest air cooler to install, and it yielded amazing results for the price. This cooler does work for a budget air cooler, this keeps my i5-4690k at under 30 degrees Celcius when web browsing and watching youtube videos, during a heavy gaming load it stays roughly around 35-42 degrees. The looks of this cooler is a good bonus too, Im sold on this cooler and will now purchase Noctua coolers only for rigs that I build.

Greater than one weekQuality product, though there are slightly better solutions out there, like the Deep Cool AK620 or Vetroo U6PRO. Great customer service.

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. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended 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. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundHaving received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua"s NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. |
