> 3 dayPasst gut in einen Full Tower, Montage war mit der Anleitung in 5 Minuten erledigt (habe zum ersten mal einen Pc selbst gebaut, bin also kein Profi gewesen). Kühlleistung und Lautstärke sind bisher tadellos. Härtetest Sommertemperaturen steht aber noch aus. Für alle deren Tower keinen herausnehmbaren mainboardschlitten hat oder der nur den Kühler einbaut ist die Montage etwas umständlich, da man dazu an die Rückseite des Mainboards muss um die Konterplatte der beiden Montageschienen (hoffe das macht Sinn) hinten durch die Löcher zu stecken. Leitpaste ist dabei, auch mit Anleitung wie viel wohin etc. Ist wirklich so idiotensicher wies geht^^ auch an die Farbe gewöhnt man sich ;)

> 3 dayCame from a Scythe Mugen 5 rev. B which I replaced for aesthetic reasons. This much more compact heat sink actually cools my 3700x (4.2 ghz, 1.325V) much better. Temps peak at 76C in AIDA when they used to barely break 80C on the Mugen. Noctua’s quality can’t be beat, and you can rest easy knowing it outperforms other air coolers in the same price range.

> 3 dayI tried the NH-D15 first, and was impressed with Noctuas quality of construction and quietness, but it was just too big for my PC case, (despite being a pretty big coolermaster). This meant I had to put my GTX 870 graphics card in a secondary PCI-e slot, further away from the CPU, but that caused a raft of problems, so I returned it and bought this slighty smaller NH-U12S instead.

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. |
