    Das ist bereits mein zweiter Noctua Lüfter. Klasse Teile muss ich sagen. Klar, über das Design kann man streiten, aber die Leistung spricht für sich. Im Schnitt hält der Kühler meine CPU (i5-6600) ca. 15 Grad kühler als der Boxed-Lüfter von Intel, bei weniger als 1/5tel der Geräuschkulisse. Chapeau!

    They do what theyre supposed to and its super silent even without the extra cable. It comes with the Intel 2011 brackets unlike what others may post in the review.

    Silencioso y con unas temperaturas maxima de 52ºC en full carga, con una temperatura ambiente de 30º. En un I7 5820K sin oc. El anterior con dos ventiladores rondaba los 56-58º.

    Avevo già in passato avuto un altro dissipatore di questa marca, il modello con ventola da 9 cm, e mi ero trovato bene, silenzioso ed efficiente.

    Fan is a little bulky but if you have the case size for it, it is worth the money. The fan is silent when the computer is idling and barely makes any noise when on ultra graphics 1080 gaming. If you have headphones or are listening to your game out loud you will never hear this fan.

    Excellent quality, perfect size on my EVGA Z170 classified K with 4 sticks of ram and a GTX 970 with backing plate. plenty of clearance. And is keeping the 6600k at 25C (idle) and 45C to 47C under full game load. A full 8 degrees C under what my 212 is doing on an older 3570k system playing same games. That system idles at 31C and reaches 55C to 58C gaming. Probably not a fair temp comparison due to different chipset variables but Im very happy as the noctua is smaller, quieter and was a lot easier to install and in the future will be a lot easier to service due to its two screw mounting system which can be easily reached. Price was high but the quality was worth it and I am finding silence is golden.

    Un peu cher mais la qualité est au rendez-vous (comparé à Cooler Master)

    I bought 2 more ram sticks to add to my 2x4GB but to accommodate them into my motherboard I had to replace my hyper 212 evo (its fan was barley blocking the first ram slot).

    Cercavo un dissipatore per sostituire quello stock dellIntel che è rumoroso e inefficiente. Il problema è: come capire dalle recensioni se un dissipatore è veramente silenzioso? Il concetto del rumore è soggettivo e le recensioni non possono che dare unindicazione relativa del livello di rumore. Ok, dopo numerose letture e scartata lidea di montare un dissipatore a liquido (il motore della pompa potrebbe trasmettere vibrazioni al case), mi sono reso conto che tra i dissipatori ad aria Noctua è sempre ai primi posti. Va bene, anche se costa un po, proviamolo... Scelta azzeccata. La cura maniacale dei dettagli mi ha fatto capire fin da subito lottima qualità del prodotto, anche in elementi apparentemente insignificanti (invece delladesivo con il marchio, è fornita una placchetta smaltata).

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.
