    Comprato dopo molte ricerche per un Intel core i5 6600k Skylake. Dopo aver avuto dei dubbi su vari raffreddamenti liquidi in quanto probabilmente non perfetti per quel tipo di processore ho optato per questo Noctua. Silenziosissimo e temperatura max del processore in gaming di 43°...Direi che è un ottimo risultato! Unico difetto, verificare la capienza del case che nel mio Aerocool X-Warrior è entrato pelo pelo.

    This CPU cooler is definitely on the pricier side. But I have been impressed by its performance with near silent acoustics. With a E3 1231v3, my CPU temperature has never gone above 65 degrees in a itx build (with 2 Noctua A14 pwm intake fans). While gaming, my CPU temperature is lower than GPU and even motherboard temperature.

    Ive struggled a lot with competitors products throughout the last 15 years. Noctua somehow has a bracket system and overall product that is a pleasure to install. Ive re-installed it many times tinkering with thermal paste and different processors on the Z97 boards. I never thought Id be happy to take this thing off and put it back on again, but here I am.

    Quality Air Cooler for what I do and thats gaming. I do not over clock my CPU that much but let the motherboard do its overclocking boost with a button. When I had my Intel stock air cooler and gaming, my CPU wound reach temps around 70-80 Celsius and with the Noctua NH-U12S the temps reach around 60-68 Celsius. Something that I was skeptic about but am a true believer with the Nactua air coolers. This model has 5 heat pipes and plenty of room for your ram too. Always take a look at their website because they have very good detailed dimensions for each fan model and which ones are for serious over clocking etc.

    Ottimo acquisto, silenziosissimo e facile da montare. Ho avuto un decremento di temperatura notevole rispetto al dissipatore stock, Noctua è una garanzia anche se costicchia !!!! Consigliatissimo !!!

    The fan stopped working after a few days thats why im giving it 3 stars. Left a poor company rating and Noctua never offered to send me a new one.

    Allaltezza della fama del suo produttore conferma laccellente manifattura, accessoristica e confezionamento. Montato su socket 2011-3 e I7-5280K mi permette un overclock fino a 4.4GHz, con una sola ventola. Per pochi di millimetri sporge da un case largo 180mm, purtroppo, mentre sul fronte RAM non presenta problemi se montato con ventola verticale, nemmeno usando memorie con profilo alto e doppia ventola. Nel verso orizzontale non ho provato ma potrebbe impattare con RAM ad alto profilo. Nessun apparente intralcio con schede GPU pur ingombranti.

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.
