> 3 dayMy first CPU cooler, and its totally worth the somewhat high price of an air cooler. The mounting was a bit tough, as the tension screws need to be pushed down a bit before the threads will catch, but other than that, instructions were clear, and I got it on perfectly. Temperatures were fantastic, especially for a 120mm cooler. So much better than stock. Overclocked my 2500k to 4.7 and I still hardly hit 60 C under heavy render loads. 4.8 was possible but the voltages just seemed too high and didnt improve things that much.

> 3 dayMontado sobre un i7 9700k, ha reducido la temperatura en 10 grados con respecto al sistema de refrigeración líquida AIO que tenía. Puede que despues de 3 años el AIO ya no funcionara al 100% por la microevaporacio u otro problema. En resumen 65 grados de maxima con OC moderado a 5Ghz en todos los nucleos. No hace mucho ruido. Durabilidad del producto practicamente de por vida. Contento con la compra. Posdata, yo he añadido un segundo ventilador igual al que trae el kit que tenia por casa.

> 3 dayDer CPU Kühler ließ sich sehr einfach einbauen und kühlt einen I7 8700K Prozessor und das sehr leise. Die Kühlleistung reicht vollkommen aus. Bin sehr zufrieden. Der Noctua NH-U12S CPU Kühler ist sein Geld wirklich wert.

> 3 dayAlmost same performance as its twin tower brothers. Easy to install and is almost inaudible. Works magic to keep the temperatures low.

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. |
