> 24 hourFavoloso, che altro aggettivo dargli, vengo da un sistema a liquido chiuso, ma faceva troppo rumore, ora con questo noctua con ventola da 12 cm ho il silenzioso assoluto, facile da montare se si ha accesso al posteriore del case. Bellissimo leffetto visivo.

> 24 hourVery happy with the ease of installation, every packaged very well and clearly labeled, will buy again when I build/ upgrade. I redid my case cooling with all notches fans and saw an average of 6-7C drop in core temps.

> 24 hourIch bin ja eigentlich ein ganz normaler Computernutzer. Keine Spiele, viel Photoshop, ein wenig Office Anwendungen. Trotzdem war der Lüfter meines AM3 mit 6 Kernen unsagbar laut. Aufgrund der vielen positiven Bewertungen kaufte ich trotz des recht hohen Preises diesen Noctua.

> 24 hourI really like this cooler, it keeps my stock 9700k under 58c even under load. It is super quiet and I can barely even hear it at idle. The brown fan does not suit everyone but they do make a black version, I personally like it.

> 24 hourI bought one, liked it, and bought another. Very quiet operation. You can let it run at about 50% and computer stays pretty cool (the AMD A10 processor is usually 34c, the graphics card is usually around 47c). I do have other fans in the box, one large intake and two smaller exhaust fans on the top and rear, but theres little doubt this is the ruler of the roost. It seats very securely on the F2 socket and is not going to come off (as has happened on some cheaper builds Ive used--OEM heat sinks secured by plastic tend to fail).

> 24 hourThis is a great cooler, but make sure you have room for it. I had a standard ATX case with a side intake fan, and there wasnt enough room to install this without removing that side fan. I ended up upgrading to an EATX case instead, and theres plenty of headroom for it now.

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. |
