    Ho comprato questo dissipatore su suggerimento di altri utenti e devo dire che è davvero ottimo ! Costa leggermente di più rispetto ad altri dissipatori però , vale quello che costa . Solo la confezione e la cura che mette Noctua nel realizzare questi prodotti non fa pentire dellacquisto . Adesso , tralasciando fattori estetici , che sono soggettivi , passiamo allatto pratico : lho acquistato per dissipare un intel i5 3570 perchè quello di serie ormai era andato e sotto sforzo non va oltre i 40/45 gradi . Per il mio uso è ottimo( visione di film , musica , studio ecc) e,per questo , lo ricomprerei ad occhi chiusi .

    Jai choisi ce produit pour une configuration avec des barrettes de mémoire high profil (Kingston HyperX Beast series). Le cooler rentre sans problème et refroidis efficacement le CPU (sans OC).

    Good product. Easy enough to install. I fitted to a Sabertooth Z77 motherboard in a HAF 922 case. Unfortunately if youre fitting to this case, you will have to remove the motherboard as the cut out in the case is slightly too small to fit the mounting plate. But this gives you a good excuse to give the case a good spring clean.

    Easy to install, high quality! My CPU temp would raise to 60-70 Celsius when I would play my games. It was time to find a CPU cooler that would respect my PC. I did days of research on CPU coolers. Then, while talking to friends on TS, one of them mentioned this cooler! He told me when he had installed the Noctua NH-U12S CPU Cooler that he saw an angel appear before him, caressing the cheek of his PC. So I bought me one too! It was easy to install. I played a game and my CPU temps stayed at 30-40 Celsius! You cannot go wrong with this CPU cooler.

    Montage très simple, parfaitement silencieux, température du processeur après montage remarquablement basse : entre 30°C et 45°C selon la charge.

    Inaudible performance unless you turn the fan speed to 100%, and even then all you hear is a humming. With an i5-8600k, I have temperatures of 27°C on idle.

    Jai choisis ce ventirad suite a une recommandation (amical) et afin de changer mon watercooling tout en un (jetable), jen avais déjà entendu du bien. Il nest pas forcément très esthétique certes mais si vous ne vous arrêtez pas à ça cest une véritable pépite !

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.

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.
