> 3 dayQualita al top come sempre per Noctua, dissipatore che fa un ottimo lavoro nonostanze le dimensione relativamente contenute, prestazioni comparabili al mio corsair h80i che pero fa molto piu rumore a causa della pompa fastidiosa. Probabilmente se lo usassi con doppia ventola riuscirebbe addirittura ad avere migliori performance, mi tiene un i7 3770k 4.5 delidded 1.2v sotto i 70 gradi in full load con IBT (T Amb 25C).

> 3 dayI purchased this to replace a giant CoolerMaster after the 6 year old thermal paste degraded and nearly resulted in a fried CPU. I would not have been able to reuse the CoolerMaster without disassembling half of the PC and finding a driver with a 90 degree bend to fit under the heatsink. The install with this Noctua was a breeze; I didnt have to remove a single component to do so. It managed to keep the old overheated/unstable i7-3770k under 61°C during the light gaming that I was using it for (I added a second Noctua 120mm fan for push/pull). The color scheme ends up looking pretty nice but the aesthetics might not be right for every build. This went into my old Corsair case with no plastic or tempered glass window so the aesthetics didnt really matter in my case.

> 3 dayVery well made, easy to install (once the motherboard was out of the case), and the mount seems to be very solid. I used the thermal paste that came with it and it is doing a fine job of keeping my 3770k cool. I do not overclock, but generally runs in the 40-50 deg. C range unless really working it. Then it might get up into the 50s. I have not really tested it, but it seems to work really good. Plus I dont hear it at all. The fan was a very tight squeeze against my RAM, zero clearance.

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. |
