> 3 dayI recently got a new PC and it came with an AIO water cooler. Well, Ive never been a fan (pun intended) of water cooling; the size, pump reliability, danger (albeit small) of leaks, etc. So, after reading a bunch of reviews, I removed the clunky AIO and replaced it with this air cooler. Temps on this with a single fan are actually a few degrees LOWER than the 240mm dual-fan AIO water cooler! Using this on an AMD Ryzen 5800x (stock clocks), and my idle temps are 35-40°C, full load (running Prime95) are 60-65°C, with an ambient air temps of 21-23°C.

Greater than one weekNot the cheapest cooler of its type, but worth it to me. It’s super easy to install, with either one fan or two. It comes with a spare bracket for a second fan, and the separate fan itself comes with many extras, including a Low-Noise Adaptor lead, which solved a noisy fan issue on a stock Intel cooler in another build. Fans are quiet and respond well to motherboard speed control. No complaints.

> 3 dayNoctua sait y faire, ya pas à dire. Tout est parfait côté qualité, lemballage est soigné avec de nombreux accessoires, les instructions parfaitement claires et le montage est ultra simple (on est loin des fixations atroces des ventirad dorigine ou de chez Cooler Master). Il y a des prix plus abordables, mais vu la qualité le tarif nest pas du tout abusé.

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. |
