    This cooler really is a cut above, Its super quiet, robust, well packaged, has great instructions. Other coolers I have used are Nzxt Respire, Cryorig H5, 212 evo, and Thermaltake full copper. This cooler has exceeded all of them in one way or another and my now my go to company for a workhorse cooler.

    I was using the Intel supplied fan and cooler that came with the CPU I bought. The last month I ran the old cooler I noticed the CPU running hotter than normal. I replaced the old cooler with this and I was pleased by the much lower temperature I was getting. This cooler has a lot more surface area than the old one and a bigger fan. Both combined to give me lower CPU temperatures and a quieter computer. I did have to adjust the minimum fan speed in the bios to avoid getting a CPU fan error on startup. Caused no doubt by the lower RPM of the bigger fan. Over all it was fairly easy to install and the performance is much better that the stock cooler. So I am quire happy with this Noctua cooler

    Siempre escuché la buena reputación de Noctua, pero estoy sorprendido. De entrada, el producto llega super bien empacado, y en la caja encuentras absolutamente todo para instalarlo: instructivos para cada tipo de socket, tornillería, brackets, pasta térmica, llave y desarmador, hules anti-vibración de repuesto, y más. No necesitas NADA más. La instalación se realizó en 15 mins siguiendo el instructivo para mi LGA1151. Una vez encendido el equipo, me sorpendí mas: es real que no hacen absolutamente nada de ruido. Hasta cierto punto creí que algo había conectado mal, porque es sumamente silencioso. Modifiqué la curva del ventilador, y aún así estando al 100% es imperceptible. Finalmente, el funcionamiento fue esperado: 20°C menos que el cooler anterior (tengo un i5-9600k, el cooler que usaba antes era el stock de un i3-9100f).

    Cest vraiment LA référence en terme de ventirad. Super-efficace, et très peu audible, il est vraiment parfait pour refroidir au mieux son CPU. Il est un peu volumineux, attention donc de bien prendre les cotes de son boîtier au préalable pour sassurer de sa parfaite intégration vs. les RAMs et les ventilos latéraux si il y en a.

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.
