> 3 dayRead all the reviews from Linus Tech Tips and sure enough I can see why he loves Noctua products. Installing it was a literal godsend! I owned a Xigmatech Dark Knight 2 and that thing was a absolute nightmare to install. This only took me 20 minutes to install properly.

> 3 dayAcheté pour remplacer le ventirad stock de mon Ryzen 2700, qui était beaucoup trop bruyant. Mon CPU est passé de 50° en idle à 40°, et ce dans le silence presque absolu, le bonheur ! Installation un peu galère sur socket AM4, mais la notice est bien faite.

> 3 dayFirst, I would like to put out there that I am not exactly a computer guru. A coworker pointed me in the direction of the NH-U12S. I did some reviews and it looked to be a solid component made by a solid company.

Greater than one weekBought Hyper 212 Evo, liked it, but it was scratching the side panel of my corsair case so instead bought this Noctua better performance and the low noise adapter (lna) is amazing at keeping my rig quiet 11/10

> 3 dayThis fan is great. I have an over clocked fx 6300 to 4.5ghz. Used to run very hot with stock heat sink, it now idles in the mid 20 Celsius. This one specifically great if you dont want anything blocked on your motherboard. Best heat sink money can

> 3 daySi lo que buscas es un gran refrigerador con una sonoridad baja y alta potencia de disipación Noctua es tu marca en cualquiera de sus productos. Son unos refrigeradores caros, pero valen lo que cuestan y una vez que los has montado lo agradeces cada euro invertido en la marca. Yo le añadí un segundo ventilador para mejorar aun mas la refrigeración del procesador, esta opción no es obligatoria y ademas solo mejora 1 o 2 grados respecto a 1 solo ventilador

Greater than one weekIts an alright cpu cooler people said it was easy to install but screws at least on my cooler required ALOT of force. Installation weirdly enough took longer than my experience installing a 212. Something must have been wrong with my final 2 screws because even my brother law who came to help me said it was harder than it needed to be and he has built a lot of computers.

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. |
