> 3 dayEverything feels high quality, easy installation, no clearance problems. My i7-4770k with the stock cooler would hit 200F under load. With the NH-U12S, the CPU temp wont go above 135F and the fan remains at a nice quiet 500rpm.

23-09-2024Too good, bought it with extra fan on other side, now I have to overclock my old i5-2500k cpu. My temps used to be 35C idle and since I got my 980ti they started creeping toward 80C when playing heavy duty games. After this bad boy was installed they went to ~26C idle and never go past 40C when stressed. Incredible build quality, very quiet, so good it makes me start to like this fugly color.

> 3 dayPues lo dicho llevo esperando 4 dias mas de lo previsto a este transportista, lamentable. Despues de quejarme varias veces y tras varios intentos me dicen que hoy es la fecha definitiva. LLevo todo el dia esperando el producto y resulta que el mensajero llega a las 8 menos 15 estando yo en casa. LLama y al cogerlo no contesta nadie, SEÑORES ni un minuto he tardado en contestar y el tio ya se habia ido!! Autentica basura lo de esta gente que llevo esperando todo el dia para que me vacilen en la cara.

> 3 daySlightly expensive for a fan, slightly heavy, but this thing keeps my CPU ice cold! Ive overclocked my machine like crazy and this thing keeps it running without a hitch. There was some slight confusion in the installation of the fan, but chalk that one up to PEBKAC (Problem exists between keyboard and chair). If you have the case space for this monster of a fan, get it and thank me later!

> 3 dayUsed it for my Ryzen 5 3600 since it was always running hot for no reason. Definitely keeps it a lot cooler and quieter at the same time. Very well worth the upgrade from the wraith spire that came stock with my cooler.

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. |
