> 3 dayI bought this in 2014. It is still going strong. Noctua is sending a new mounting bracket to make it compatible with my new AM4 motherboard free of charge! Talk about great customer service.

> 3 dayThis is a really good quality cooler for the money. Mounting takes some doing as you have to pull the motherboard out. I replaced a stock cooler with this Noctua and my idle temps went from 36c non OC to 25-30c OC’d 600mhz. I’m happy with that

> 3 dayHo acquistato questo dissipatore dopo varie e attente ricerche di prove e recensioni fatte da altri utenti. Il motivo principale della mia scelta è stata la silenziosità della tanto decantata ventola NF-F12 PWM. Essendo in attesa dellarrivo degli altri componenti acquistati per assemblare il mio nuovo computer e quindi non avendo ancora istallato il dissipatore in funzione PWM, ho testato la ventola a tutta velocità di giri e sono rimasto abbastanza deluso dalla sua rumorosità che è risultata maggiore di una vecchia ventola Cooler master presente nel case del mio attuale computer.

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. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended 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. |
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. |
