    Non troppo complicato da montare, è silenzioso ed è un netto miglioramento rispetto al dissipatore stock. Lo consiglio. Ideale per case non troppo grandi.

    Recently I re-positioned my tower machine from lying on its side to standing, the way a tower is intended. My previous CM unit which I paid one-third of the price for this, started immediately performing poorly and I noticed that the plastic plugs to hold it to the motherboard were folded and not all intact.

    Sono davvero soddisfatto. Ho montato la ventola su una CPU i7 6700k che con il dissipatore standard fornito da Intel soffriva di alte temperature ma sopratutto generava troppo rumore visto che la notte mi capita di lasciare il PC acceso.

    Silencieux. Jai été marqué par cela et il refroidit très bien le proco.

    Una pasada de disipador de calor e indispensable para tu procesador, viene con la pasta térmica única de Noctua, facil de ensamblar y muy bien especificado en las instrucciones. En mi caso, adquirí un segundo ventilador que puedes acoplar al disipador, y sin duda, 2 ventiladores noctua trabajando en el mismo disipador... no tengo palabras, BRUTAL e notado una mejoría de un pc trabajando a 45ºC normalmente, ahora no me pasa de 37ºC. Una maravilla.

    Bought this baby back in October last year. Noctua quality, what more do I have to say? The CPU cooler arrived on time, in the original premium Noctua packaging. The cooler is used with a second fan NF-F12 fan in a push pull configuration and it came along with all the accessories so I had it installed in a matter of minutes. I have used the included thermal compound and after over 6 months the temps are the same like in the beginning. Installing the brackets for the AM3+ socket was a breeze as I had my motherboard out of the case. As advertised, my 4x8 Gb of HyperX Beast are not obstructed, the RAM compatibility is as advertised by the manufacturer.

    Le ventirad Noctua na rien à envier des marques les plus connues du marché. Ce ventirad est fonctionnel et refroidi très bien le processeur. Je recommande.

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.

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.
