    I have had this heatsink since 2019. At the time of purchase I had an I7 3960x HEDT CPU and my temps never went over 70C. on full load for more than 3 hours of stress tests. Now it is the summer of 2021 I recently upgraded to a AMD 5900X and a ASUS Crosshair VIII Dark Hero with the help from the stimi money.

    After seeing alot of talk about Noctua I decided to give them a chance and without a doubt they live up to the hype. Thier cpu cooler significantly dropped my temps and the fan is the most quiet I have ever used. I would recommend their products to anyone who wants to quiet down thier pc without sacrificing cooling effectiveness. I will be replacing all the fans in my computers with Noctua and using them for all my future projects.

    Installé sans trop de soucis avec un tuto Youtube. Il remplit le job auquel il était destiné : faire moins de bruit que le ventirad Intel de mon 4460.

    A couple months ago, I put together a new desktop computer and, as Id done with another one in our household, bought a Corsair H80 2-fan water cooler block. Actually, the newer H80i...which looks a little better than the older model and is better organized with its wiring.

    I am very happy with my purchase. I bought this as a replacement for another fan that was very noisy and couldnt cool the system at all whenever i launched a resource hungry app (e.g. Cyberpunk 2077) This one gets the job done almost using the massive heatsinks alone without the need to even turn on the fan. Excellent product.

    A pesar de tener que levantar la placa base para tener que poner los anclajes correspondientes a mi placa base y procesador i7, muy sencilla instalación. Ningún problema.

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.
