> 3 dayInstall with arctic silver on a i7-4790K over-clocked roughly 15% to 4.5ghz. Under heavy load Im at 55 degrees C, at rest high 30s. Very quiet too.

> 3 dayLe ventirad AMD dorigine fait le boulot mais je cherchais de meilleurs performances et plus de silence. Le résultat répond très bien à mes attentes. Un stress test du Ryzen 7 3700x poussait le ventirad dorigine et le processeur dans ses limites avec des températures proches des 90°. Depuis linstallation du NH-U12S mon processeur ne dépasse pas les 65° avec le même test et sous les 40° au repos et avec beaucoup moins de bruit. Je remarque aussi un effet sur mon processeur qui atteind des fréquences boost légèrement plus élevées. Une bonne centaine de Mhz en plus. Il me reste à ajouter un ventilateur pour le configurer en push pull et jespère encore gagner en performance.

> 3 dayMe soluciono los problemas que tenía de temperatura. Le había cambiado la fuente de alimentación y la gráfica, la caja que tengo no es buena y el disipador que tenía de los más sencillo. El procesador se ponía a 100°C. Con este disipador ahora no me pasa de 60°C.

> 3 dayEverything about this cooler fan indicates a well designed, well manufactured product. Temperatures of my CPU while under max load in Prime95 are 15 degrees C cooler than with the Wraith cooler included with my AMD 3700X CPU.

> 3 dayThe quality is remembered long after the price has been forgotten. This is the CPU cooler I shouldve bought back in the beginning. Instead Ive wasted roughly $70 on noisy and inferior products. Just get this one and be done with it. This particular part (the U12S) seems to be sweet spot that provides the best compromise of price, performance, and motherboard/case compatibility.

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. |
