Greater than one weekI was having some overheating issues with my CORE I3 processor. I replaced the stock cooler with this one and after 3 months, no more overheating problems. Replacement instructions were easy and clear.

13-11-2024Lho montata su un Ryzen 3950X e temevo fosse complesso. Invece la procedura è molto semplice e ben documentata! La ventola è silenziosisima e seppure molto voluminosa non ingombra più che tanto allinterno del case. Ottimo acquisto!

> 3 dayFor the past 3 years I have been on a crusade to make my PC inaudible, I replaced all my fans with Noctua ones, upgraded my air cooler to a Noctua NH-U14s, flashed my GPUs BIOS to enable 0rpm fan mode, you name it, Ive tried it.

> 3 dayDer Preis ist zwar gemessen an den Produkten der Mitbewerber hoch, doch die Qualität ist gut, der Lüfter ist leise und der Prozessor ist immer sehr kühl, kommt bei mir kaum mal über 40 Grad.

> 3 dayAs mentioned in other reviews, the manufacturer now includes the AM4 kit with this model. I ordered this product a few days ago and when it arrived, I found it came with several mounting brackets including an AMD bracket supporting the AM4 socket. Im using this with a Ryzen 5 3600.

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. |
