> 3 dayLho montato su un 4700k dopo che per ben 2 volte si è rotto il sistema AIO... Questo ha performance di raffreddamento identiche in overclock (max60gradi) ma è molto più silenzioso!

> 3 dayAfter sending back my old 120mm aio that went from sounding like a dieing animal to a lawnmower, I wanted a good air cooled replacement. Enter noctua. Tacky colored fans aside, probably the best cpu air cooler manufacturer around. Temps while idle are about the same (33-37c) but under load are actually a bit lower than said aio. These hot ryzen 3000 series need a cooler like this.

> 3 dayNoctua has a reputation of high quality products and this CPU cooler is no exception. Suffice to say, its not just that they built a cooler that works well and is very quiet but the extra cables, adapters and mounting options marry quality and function with value.

> 3 dayAlmost same performance as its twin tower brothers. Easy to install and is almost inaudible. Works magic to keep the temperatures low.

> 3 dayI found my AM4 mounting bracket was a bit fiddly but once installed the cooler was really easy to screw down using the included noctua thermal paste Im seeing improved temperatures.

Greater than one weekThe best air cooler ever. Keeps CPU under 65 degrees at full load when playing BF4. I upgraded from a hyper 212. Can never go wrong with A hyper 212 but the Noctua takes the cake.

> 3 dayColis reçu en bon état, facile a monté, nécessite le démontage de la carte mère si on a pas une trappe de visite, mais ça ma permis de nettoyer mon pc. En ce qui concerne le noctua, avant la température du processeur était de 50° et le ventilo a 4300 RPM alors que maintenant température à 21°, 38° en jeu, ventilo à 1480 RPM, en ce qui concerne les ram aucun problème car ça ne les touches pas, cest à 2 mm de la ram coté processeur. Très satisfait de mon achat

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. |
