> 24 hourMy liquid cooler worked great for almost a year, then got progressively less effective, until the point it died after about 2 years. I would not buy a liquid cooler again for a few reasons:

> 24 hourPlutôt facile à installer sur support Intel 1151 (i7 7700K, kaby lake), refroidissement excellent sur un processeur ayant naturellement tendance à chauffer fort.

> 24 hourIm writing this review having owned and used this heatsink / CPU for five years, and its still running very well and silently. Also, I just ordered a new Z690 motherboard after my old one failed, and was able to order a new mounting adapter for the heatsink free of charge from Noctuas website - I cant think of many companies who show this level of commitment and care to their customers.

> 24 hourLlevo pocos días con este Noctua instalado, pero creo que ya lo he puesto a prueba lo suficiente como para escribir esta reseña. Era un poco reacio a comprarlo por el elevado precio (65 machacantes), pero en todas las páginas web especializadas con reseñas técnicas, y en diversos foros y opiniones (incluido este mismo apartado en Amazon) los comentarios eran extremadamente positivos. Así que, ante la decepción que me produjo el anterior cooler, un Arctic Freezer, me lancé a por este Noctua.

> 24 hourA little tricky to install but not bad considering the space in my tower. It is very quiet and performs admirably under load or when most of my system is idle.

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. |
