    En remplacement dun refroidissement liquide qui laissait le processeur monter très haut en température, tous ventilos hurlants. Cest silencieux et efficace. A priori une très bonne marque.

    Its a good cooler but I wouldnt expect any great temperatures out of it or to give you a lot of OC headroom over other similar solutions, solid buy but the price might need some adjusting.

    Great brand, I discover it trough a friend, and I am really happy. Inside the box you find anything you need for the installation, and they even send you warranty

    Ive been building rigs since 2000 and these are BY FAR the highest quality fans I have ever put into a system. If you havent read any of the hype surrounding Noctua, I recommend you give them a look and believe it. This company is the dark horse that is dominating the cool and silent race and for good reason. If you are looking for pretty lights that will make your system look sick and your room sound like it has a leaf blower in it - look elsewhere. If you want solid performance and silent operation, look no further.

    Ich bestellte den Noctua NH-U12S über Amazon direkt von Noctua als B-Ware, welche in der Artikelbeschreibung als sehr gut qualifiziert war vom Verkäufer. Angekommen ist es mit an den Ecken zerdrückter Artikelverpackung, was aber keinesfalls weder die Transportsicherheit noch meine Meinung über das Produkt beeinträchtigt. Denn der Kühler selbst war in einem einwandfreien, neuwertigen Zustand. Mit dabei war unzähliges Zubehör und Montierungskits für AMD- und Intel-Mainboards. Ich bin rundum sehr zufrieden. Nach der Montage und Verwendung der mitgelieferten Wärmeleitpaste sind meine CPU-Temps um rund 10 Grad gesunken. Zuvor verwendete ich den AMD Wraith Prism mit der bereits installierten Wärmeleitpaste. Der Kühler von AMD war nicht schlecht, aber trotz unzähliger Änderung der Lüfterkurve und sehr guter Gehäuse-Durchlüftung konnte ich die Temperaturschwankungen und Geräuschpegel des Kühlers nicht in den Griff kriegen. Jetzt ist alles super, höre nichts mehr und keine Temperaturschwankungen mehr. Meine CPU ist die Ryzen 7 2700X ohne OC.

    Acheté pour remplacer le ventirad stock de mon Ryzen 2700, qui était beaucoup trop bruyant. Mon CPU est passé de 50° en idle à 40°, et ce dans le silence presque absolu, le bonheur ! Installation un peu galère sur socket AM4, mais la notice est bien faite.

    This was the simplest cooler install I have ever done, out of maybe a dozen. On an AM4 MB. Very good clearance on the MB and in the case, which is a mid-tower and I was concerned about space. I dont have a comparison with the stock cooler but it seems to cool very well and I like the fact that I can easily add a second fan if I want to.

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.

NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fan

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.

NT-H1 thermal compound

Having 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.
