> 3 dayIt was extremely easy to install the only problem with it is the color of the fan and no customization.

> 3 dayInstalled onto Asus Z87 pro motherboard on a i7 4770 in a Corsair 300R case.The cooler just fits into the case with about 1cm clearance.The TX650 power supply fan does not operate in my rig due to low power consumption (I dont have a graphics card) .

> 3 dayHo assemblato da poco, e da zero, un pc per mio figlio. Cambiato subito il dissipatore stock del Ryzen 5 3600 con questo Noctua. In gioco la temperatura è scesa da oltre 80° a circa 60!!! Rumorosità abbattuta in modo incredibile, la ventola gestita automaticamente in Pwm gira molto basso (6/800rpm) ed è praticamente muta! Ho tolto la marrone e sostituita, sempre con lo stesso modello ma nera, ed aggiunto la cover Cromax. Nel case Corsair iCUE 220T RGB zero problemi di spazio. Non sono un esperto, ma da quanto letto pare sia molto più affidabile un ottimo dissipatore ad aria di diversi AIO che servono solo a far scena.

> 3 daySehr leise, unter vollast sogar leiser als in der Produktbeschreibung angegeben. Stromsparend läuft er auf einem i-6700k mit ü. 4,4 Ghz unter stabilen Temperaturen.

> 3 dayGreat cooler, upgraded from wraith prism. Had a 10°c drop on the max and a 4° drop on the low. Easy to install. Threw on another fan for push/pull as it comes with 2 extra fan clips. Best part is the noise difference between the wraith prism and this. Always recommend Noctua.

> 3 dayFinalmente ho risolto i problemi di surriscaldamento del processore. Non si riavvia più, ora dovrei passare ad un case meglio aerato...

> 3 dayQuite fan and rather easy installation. Im not doing any gaming so I cant speak for its performance under heavy load. It has kept things cool so far with some video rendering.

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. |

NT-H1 thermal compoundHaving 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. |
