Noctua NH-U12S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-F12 120mm Fan (Brown)

An amazing cooler. My temps dont go passed 50C while playing Warzone. I wont use another brand now.

Me ha sorprendido, muy bien terminado, buen control de las temperaturas y lo mejor de todo sin ruido. Recomendado al 100%. Montado en la placa base Asrock X99 Taichi y procesador i7 5820k.

Didnt realise this beast was so big, it looks like some monolith reaching for the sky sitting on my motherboard. I found it very easy to install and it works a dream. Its very quiet and keeps the CPU very cool. I used to be able to use my PC as a heater now only a gentle warm breeze comes out of it when im taxing it. Not sure if its due to the new i7 plugged in along with this cooler or not. But as long as it fits in your case you wont be disappointed with it.

muy silencioso y superrefrigerante excelente producto para sistemas intel o amd yo lo tengo con un phenom IIx6 1090t y me ha bajado la temperatura en juegos 30 grados

Very easy to install, great build quality, quiet fan

I use Speccy to check the Temps of my CPU before I used the stock cooler and under most games Temps could get to around 70 C after install of Noctua they rarely get to 65. The install was easy and instructions easy to follow.

If not going with a Closed Loop system would always recommend Noctua to anyone upgrading or building a new system.

The absolute best. This entire product is quality. Noctua makes by far the best heatsinks. Their mounting bracket is the best in the business and is super easy to install yet has an excellent mounting pressure. Their fans are the longest lasting and yet the most quiet in the business as well. This air cooler is standard-sized, yet fits high-profile RAM and even outperforms some water coolers and of course is much quieter than basically all water coolers.

Not sure where the blame lies but while building a Z170 system with an Intel CPU, I ended up with bent pins in the CPU socket which killed the whole Asus board. I didnt care for how heavy the Noctua cooler was and felt that screwing the cooler onto its stand might have caused the problem. After buying a replacement board, I used a (much cheaper) Intel cpu fan which is operating properly. The Noctua fan was of high quality and very quiet and I may switch to it in the future. As mentioned, I dont know if the Noctua was the cause of the bent pins but at roughly $150 per try, I didnt want to risk it and needed to get the system running.
