> 3 dayIf you upgrade anything on a build, this would be the place to start. Nearly silent under load and brings the temps back 20 degrees easy. I was missing 2 screws for the mounting bracket. Contacted Noctua directly and they were quick to respond and send me the parts free of charge. Excellent product and excellent service.

Greater than one weekI am very pleased with this product. It is very good quality and performs as expected. I deducted one star because I ordered the separate LGA775 mounting kit, which is free, and they forgot to include 4 of the screws. However they responded very fast and I had asked them just to tell me what size screw to buy at my local hardware store as that would be faster. I got them and everything is fine.

> 3 dayI was looking for a new cooler because my old stock cpu fan was very loud and wasn’t good at dissipating the heat. I wanted to buy something that was quiet and good at cooling. I went with the Noctua Cpu Cooler [NH-U12S]. Installation on amd platform is very easy. I was amazed with the temps compared to a stock cooler.

> 3 dayPerfetto! Raffredda anche troppo bene il mio i5 8400 (Max 65 gradi con ventola al 100% in estate con stanza sui 28 gradi e 34 gradi in idle con ventola al 30%). Mi è piaciuto il sistema di montaggio facile e l’ottimo set all’interno. Si può pure ruotare di 90 gradi. È ampio e prende un po’ di posto in un mid tower ma non ai livelli dei suoi fratelli maggiori. Lo ricomprerei altre mille volte.

> 3 dayThis cooler is a frickin miracle. I put this in a windowed Fractal Design Nano S case over an 8600K. Idle temp is around 29/30C. Under moderate load maybe 34C.

Greater than one weekWorks perfectly. Cools my 3600XT to under 30C idle and it never goes above 60C under full load. Even with a pretty agressive fan curve (100% at 60C) I can barely hear it

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. |
