> 3 dayNicht der schönste, nicht der preiswerteste, aber der Beste. Der Lüfter läuft extrem leise. Der Einbau ist kinderleicht und hat bei mir (ASrock970) 10 Minuten gedauert.

> 3 dayAfter having had occasional crashes for a while I read something that suggested temperature problems. I installed SpeedFan and confirmed that temperature was the problem, in that by changing BIOS settings to disable Turbo mode and increase fan speed I made the system more stable. My system: CPU: i7-9700k, Motherboard: Asus Prime Z370-P II with a stock Coolermaster cooler from PC Specialist. Have now installed the Noctua NH-U12S, with noticeable improvement. Previously CPU ran at 55C or more with Turbo disabled, max fan speed, 50% CPU usage. Now it runs at 48C with Turbo enabled, fan speed variable but quiet, 92% CPU sustained. Most importantly, no crashes, even when rendering a video edit that always caused a crash previously (using Lightworks, which can used all 8 cores for several minutes while rendering). Very satisfied customer.

> 3 dayCooling a 2700X. Very quiet and not too large. Great thermals compared to stock and a fraction of the noise.

> 3 dayLe meilleur ventirad que je connaisse ! Cest le 4 ème pc que je monte et je mets à chaque fois un Noctua sur mes Core i5 ou i7. Même à fond mes processeurs ne dépassent pas les 55 degrés et le bruit du ventilateur à 70% de sa vitesse max nest presque pas audible. Totalement silencieux au ralenti. Cest excellent.

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. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended 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. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundHaving 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. |
