> 3 dayTop Kühler. Man hört nichts und unter Volllast kommt mein i7 3770 nicht mal auf 50°c . Die Montage war erstaunlich einfach. 1 Stern Abzug weil ein paar kühlrippen leicht verbogen waren , schon die Wärmeleitpaste unterm kühler war und die offene spritze zusammen mit ein paar ausgepackten teilen in der Packung rum gesaut hat. War wohl ein rückläufer aber hat mich nicht weiter gestört und die kühlrippen hab ich bestmöglich grade gebogen.

12-06-2025Non troppo complicato da montare, è silenzioso ed è un netto miglioramento rispetto al dissipatore stock. Lo consiglio. Ideale per case non troppo grandi.

> 3 dayUtilisations sans un PC servant notamment au jeu il a avantageusement remplacé un corsair Hydro certe performant mais trop bruyant à mon goût (les années aidant). Le ventilateur PWN fait très bien le job, même pas besoin de choisir le profile silencieux disponible dans la gestion des ventilateur de ma carte mère. La température de li7 reste sous contrôle en jeu et sur les 1500 tr/min max du ventilateur je dépasse rarement les 900.

> 3 dayA really well made device. Everything about it screams QUALITY! Installation on an MSI 1151 socket board was about ten times easier than the last install I did, which was a liquid cooling setup. Excellent instructions, everything fit precisely, the fan is whisper quiet.

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. |
