    Amazing cooler for a stock (non overclocked) system. My temperatures were regularly high with the stock intel fan, after installing this fan the temps plummeted and overall performance of my PC increased as I was hitting throttling temperature before. Ran quiet, but I would make sure that you have the room in your case. Mine was a tight fit, so give yourself a healthy clearance when buying this product.

    I really like this cooler, it keeps my stock 9700k under 58c even under load. It is super quiet and I can barely even hear it at idle. The brown fan does not suit everyone but they do make a black version, I personally like it.

    È vero che non è top di gamma, ma da no tua e nello specifico modello mi aspettavo temperature migliori.

    Utilizzando il dissipatore originale del processore, mi trovavo ad affrontare le sessioni di gioco con temperature superiori ai 75 °C, con punte anche di 80 °C

    I built this PC for my pro tools rig. I heard about noctura fans being extremely quiet, but I didnt think they would be this quiet!

    Absolutely excellent product. Noctua please branch out towards the power supply market aswell (you have branced out towards radiators for water cooling so you might aswell engineer power supplies aswell).

    Per chi ama le cose ben fatte , esteticamente accattivanti e ben funzionanti questo radiatore per CPU I7 è perfetto. Fornitura completa di tutti gli accessori anche per uneventuale ventola aggiuntiva . Durante il funzionamento la ventola è molto silenziosa e se non fosse per lHard disk standard non si sentirebbe neanche che il PC sta funzionando.

    Great, works really well, but would be nice to be better looking (its brown). Thermal paste isnt pre applied just fyi

    For the vast majority of systems this is more than enough cooling. Ive been running an overclocked i7-2600k to 4.2ghz for 2 years and my CPU temps stay sub 40ºC. If youre coming from a stock cooler the size of this might be intimidating, but its compact enough (for an aftermarket cooler) to not interfere with ram on most motherboards. The large fan is quiet and effective, however after nearly 2 years it developed a click at high speeds causing me to replace it (for $15-20). According to their website, the mean time to failure for the fan is 150,000 hours, which is around 17 years. Noctua does have a 6 year warranty on parts, which I have not pursued yet. Considering I have 2 other identical fans that are still running fine Im considering it an anomaly.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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.

Recommended 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.
