    Los resultados en la temperatura son excelentes

    Impresionado. Tenía el disipador viejo de stock de Intel, y éste ha bajado 15°C en idle y ¡¡35°C!! en carga. Cierto es que el de Intel es una patata, pero esas temperaturas con cero ruido es una pasada.

    Came from a Cooler Master CPU cooler to this noctua, I should have come here to begin with. This cooler is a real performer and is well worth the price. The fan is super quite and can be even more silent if you use the LNA included with it. Highly recommend

    Reasonably easy to mount, quiet. Good instructions. Comes with everything youll need for AMD or Intel mounting in the box. You will need access to the back of your motherboard, so if your case doesnt have a cutout for that, youll have to pull the board out to mount this. I didnt do any benchmarking, as its in a media PC thats used for SOME gaming (mostly HOTS and Rocket League). My sole concern was it being quiet, and it very much does that.

    What you have to understand is Noctua parts are an investment that will pay for itself over time. I bought my NH-U12S over 6 years ago, and its been used as my cooler in 3 different PCs. All with different sockets. Every time I upgraded my PC, I emailed Noctua my proof of purchase and they sent me a complimentary mounting kit for the appropriate socket. You can also buy those online for a modest cost. Installation is easy and fool proof. The performance and quality of their coolers is top of the line. I could have bough a slightly cheaper cooler that would have done the job, but then I would not have had the flexibility of using that cooler on three different sockets. Noctuas engineering is honest and reliable. After years of service, my cooler ended up saving me money, while getting top notch performance and the best service in the industry. I dont care about brightly lit fans, I want performance, reliability, build quality and QUIET.

    Very quiet as they said it would be. Excellent quality parts, no problem so far. Running i7-4970k at 120% with temps still in the 70c range. Thinking about getting just the fan to replace some of the case fans, as they are of much better construction than any case or cpu fan I have ever owned. Very happy with choice.

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.

NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fan

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.
