    As far as coolers go, its easy to install, very high quality and has a great cooling I have a i5 6600k, its over clocked 4.6ghz and while under full load after an hours testing it never went over 66 celsius. Installation was a breeze and instructions are crystal clear!

    Consiglio configurazione push&pull (con un altra Noctua NF-F12 PWM) riesce a mantenere nelluso quotidiano un core i7-5930k al di sotto una temperatura di 32° con temperatura interna al case di 28°.

    Sistema di montaggio facile e intuibile, e prestazioni molto buone (sicuramente meglio del cooler stock del ryzen 7 3700x).

    Really great cooler. I replaced the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for this. I should have bought this to begin with. It keeps my AMD FX 8320 really cool, core temp under 50c and socket temp under 60c with prime95.

    Llevo pocos días con este Noctua instalado, pero creo que ya lo he puesto a prueba lo suficiente como para escribir esta reseña. Era un poco reacio a comprarlo por el elevado precio (65 machacantes), pero en todas las páginas web especializadas con reseñas técnicas, y en diversos foros y opiniones (incluido este mismo apartado en Amazon) los comentarios eran extremadamente positivos. Así que, ante la decepción que me produjo el anterior cooler, un Arctic Freezer, me lancé a por este Noctua.

    Had some cooking issues for about a year with my AMD Hudson APU even after installing a better cpu cooling fan from an older gaming computer.. PC would suddenly stop and shut down when doing video encoding for about 5-10 minutes. This was very annoying. I had this same model of Noctua cooler in another gaming computer and decided to buy this one for the APU problem. Life is now good. The cooler is doing an excellent job and is a lot quieter than the old conventional CPU cooler. Very happy with both of my computers using these coolers. Recommended

    Acheté pour remplacé mon système de refroidissement watercooling ne faisant plus son travail. Le noctua NH-U12S rempli parfaitement son rôle. Il est très silencieux et mon pc ne surchauffe plus.

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.

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.

Having 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.
