    Lo único que tenéis que aseguraros de que cabe en vuestro torre. Es bien grande y cumple con su tarea sin problemas manteniendo procesador fresquito. Instrucciones de instalación super claras.

    Good product, works incredibly silent and for an i7 7700K, brings temps to around 40C when idle and 70C under load. Could do some overclocking as well without need a water cooler.

    Everything feels high quality, easy installation, no clearance problems. My i7-4770k with the stock cooler would hit 200F under load. With the NH-U12S, the CPU temp wont go above 135F and the fan remains at a nice quiet 500rpm.

    For some reason. I tried to install this on the mounting brackets that were correctly screwed into my motherboard. I tried for 2.5 hours but I could not for the life of me get the mounting screws on either side of the cooler to thread properly with their mounting slots on the mounting brackets so I gave up and went with the AMD stock cooler instead. Very disappointed in this product.

    I got this cooler because of a recommendation of a friend. I am very impressed. Im running an i7 5820k Haswell-E and this cooler keeps a lower temperature than most of the liquid cooling systems that I have had. You wont be disappointed. Make sure you have enough room in your case though because it is big

    Superbly built and lovingly crafted. For the size you cannot beat this heatsink. The NH-U14 S is even better if you need a bigger/higher-TDP air cooler, but for both please check the manufacturers support list on their website for motherboard compatibility. Nactua is one of the very best PC supplies companies out there and are certainly no. 1 when it comes to air cooling.

    Facile da montare, silenziosissimo, ottima qualità . Montato su un Intel i7 di decima generazione, alla frequenza base di 2,9 gHz con giochi complessi come simulatori di guida e di volo non supera i 65 gradi. Davvero ottimo .

    tl;dr - Whisper quiet, easy to unstall, not great looking.

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.

NT-H1 thermal compound

Having 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.
