> 3 dayTotally satisfied purchase, Id totally buy another one in the future. Its kind of pricey for an air cooler but I guess thats the premium you pay for such a quiet and functional cooler.

Greater than one weekThis cooler is really quiet but it hardly absorbs heat from cpu. i replaced 20$ cooler with cooper pipes (which was quite noisy) with this one. old cooler was able to keep cpu at 45-50c at 30% load and with this new cooler it goes up to 65c. i didnt used too much thermal paste to block heat dissipation so i guess this cooler uses bad material to transfer heat or something else.

> 3 dayWonderful. Easily worth $30 dollars more than I paid for it. Soon I will replace my core i3-4150 with an i7 4970k and the Noctua NH-u12S has my complete conficence.

> 3 dayHave a bit of sound in my case that is a little annoying. Am using this and 2 Noctua A140 case fans as well as whatever fan came in the EVGA 650 P2 PSU. Among all of that is a little bit of noise compared to the OEM Fractal Design Define R4 fans I was using prior but overall its doing a pretty good job so far.

22-12-2024Acheté pour remplacer le ventirad stock de mon Ryzen 2700, qui était beaucoup trop bruyant. Mon CPU est passé de 50° en idle à 40°, et ce dans le silence presque absolu, le bonheur ! Installation un peu galère sur socket AM4, mais la notice est bien faite.

> 3 dayNoctua cooling, nothing more should have to be said. I run a pretty extreme OC on an FX8350 (well over 5) and this keeps me cooler than stock cooling with stock clocking.

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. |
