Noctua NH-U12S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-F12 120mm Fan (Brown)

Melvin, just Melvin
Greater than one weekGreat cooler as long as your case can accommodate the 158mm height. Keeps my CPU about 25C cooler than the OEM socket LGA1150 cooler, and the fan never need to rise above its minimum RPM. I cant hear it at all unless I take the side off of the case. I guess that means its overkill for a 95W CPU like mine, but Ill take it.

> 3 dayThe description of the product included the inclusion of an Intel 1700 mounting plate, which was not in the box ie this is older stock (pre March 2022 according to Noctua). Noctua will provide a kit free of charge, but the delay may be considerable. Hence I had to order the kit elsewhere, which is frustrating as I was not expecting this. I am unhappy with the supplier.

Greater than one weekEn remplacement du ventirad livré avec mon 4790K, la différence est énorme. La conception du produit fait quil est impossible de rater son montage. Japprochais les 100°C (!) je suis désormais sous la barre des 60°C à 100% dutilisation processeur. Indispensable pour qui veut sécuriser sa config.

Greater than one weekHo comprato questo dissipatore su suggerimento di altri utenti e devo dire che è davvero ottimo ! Costa leggermente di più rispetto ad altri dissipatori però , vale quello che costa . Solo la confezione e la cura che mette Noctua nel realizzare questi prodotti non fa pentire dellacquisto . Adesso , tralasciando fattori estetici , che sono soggettivi , passiamo allatto pratico : lho acquistato per dissipare un intel i5 3570 perchè quello di serie ormai era andato e sotto sforzo non va oltre i 40/45 gradi . Per il mio uso è ottimo( visione di film , musica , studio ecc) e,per questo , lo ricomprerei ad occhi chiusi .

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. |
