    Amazing cooler for the value, while still keeping RAM clearance in check. Took my R5 2600 from 63C idle to under 36 idle. Sound levels are way lower and I no longer worry about temperatures. Amazing buy, would recommend.

    Si lo comparamos con otros disipadores de aire dudo muchísimo que haya ningún otro que ofrezca esta calidad de ruido/disipación. Es muy silencioso y mantiene las temperaturas totalmente a raya. Hice pruebas apagando los ventiladores de la caja y seguía siendo igual de eficiente, si los he vuelto a encender es por la gráfica y demás, pero al procesador con el Noctua le sobra...

    Pour bon nombre de tests, Noctua est considéré comme un des meilleurs pour les processeurs et vu ma configuration bi-CPU, cest idéal au point de vue place et refroidissement. La température des xeon E5 reste à un niveau relativement bas. Les ventilateurs ne font pratiquement pas de bruit;

    I originally had installed an EVGA CLC240 AIO liquid cooler on my new build but it was loud and I wasnt impressed with the temps, I was also worried about leaking ruining my $1,500 computer. Then I ordered a Noctua u14s, only to find out it wouldnt fit in my case by 2mm! So finally, I ordered this Noctua u12s. Fit perfectly, installation was simple and quick, and the temps Im getting are great. Keep in mind its summer and pretty warm in my room, but I have a nice stable 5.0GHz Adaptive OC on my 8700k @ 1.25v. Idle temps get as low as 25C when not using my computer. When just browsing the internet and watching videos, they stay around 34-35C. When gaming my CPU stays around 68C-70C. And torture tests (100% Load small FFT) bring it up to around 78C-81C. Honestly, its perfect. Just make sure you have good airflow in your case. I have 2x 120s pulling air in from the front, and a 140 exhaust on the top, and a 120 exhaust at the rear.

    Very great packaging.. High quality.. Very easy to install.. Had around 40 to 50 c on idle sometimes.. After installing noctua im getting 29 to 32 c on idle.. And while playing Cod AW and dota 2 it only went up to 42 max.. Goes around 35 to 41 c... Also forgot to mention that this is very quiet even without low noise adapter. Give it a go!

    Si lo que buscas es un gran refrigerador con una sonoridad baja y alta potencia de disipación Noctua es tu marca en cualquiera de sus productos. Son unos refrigeradores caros, pero valen lo que cuestan y una vez que los has montado lo agradeces cada euro invertido en la marca. Yo le añadí un segundo ventilador para mejorar aun mas la refrigeración del procesador, esta opción no es obligatoria y ademas solo mejora 1 o 2 grados respecto a 1 solo ventilador

    Dieser Lüfter hat meine Cpu-Temperatur sofort um 10-20°C gesenkt.

    Noctua makes amazing products and this is no exception. The only negative someone might have about this is the unappealing beige color, if you can get over the color everything else is 5 star worthy. Worth every dollar, great build quality, easy installation and comparable CPU temps to an AIO cooler.

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.
