Noctua NH-U12P SE2 120mm SSO CPU Cooler - Retail

It has fantastic rating for cooling, in fact it cools betterthan even the H-50. It will bend your motherboard, I installed this on an asus motherboard and it bent board so substantially some ram slots wouldn't even get recognised. I went to an H-50 corsair cooler once more , and its lightweight and had no further troubles. Just simply because some thing appears excellent on specs, assume practicallity, this factor will will bend your precious motherboard with all that weight, definately do not obtain thisif you worth your motherboard, take this from an individual who lost 跌 damaging a motherboard from this thing.

The Noctua kit puts most other products in the Pc planet to shame. It's comprehensive, robust, well engineered, properly fabricated, and effortless to set up.Saying it's "quiet" doesn't do it justice. I put two of these on an SR-2 with dual Xeons, and the complete technique at max work is quieter than my notebook personal computer. Seriously. It's tough to tell it's operating. CPU temps (X5650's) are 34°C at idle, and up to 54°C at max effort. No overclock however. But a similiar dual Xeon technique I have runs at 64°C (E5620 low-power chips) with the Intel coolers and you can hear that machine over anything in the area, which includes polite conversations.I'll obtain these once more. If you want to put these on a Xeon motherboard, and you don't want to take away the current cooler support backplate, get 4 M3 x 20mm long screws, and put them in via the BACK of the mobo. Now proceed with set up. Works like a charm. Noctua need to have incorporated the four screws, but as an alternative, they give you the Whole enchilada to replace the factory Xeon back plate. Not quite, no flashing lights or bling-bling. But a pair of them in a pc case appears like critical organization is happening.

I have been running this cooler and fan for two years now with my Q6600. I had an ULTRA CHILTEC ahead of and this is much better in my opinion. At three.4ghz and 1.4v, my Q6600 touches ㅻc with prime95 @ full load with this cooler (there is some dust construct up i ought to clean out). Currently, @ 3ghz and 1.3v it hovers in the higher 50s under the prime torture test. The fan is pretty silent and the cooler feels and appears tough and well-made. colour scheme. light and dark brown? what had been they pondering?

I can't believe how effectively this cooler functions. I was seeking for a excellent cooler to OC my AMD 965 Black Edition and anything possibly quieter. It dropped my temps operating at three.4ghz by 22 degrees C. I was shocked to say the least, so i bumped it to 3.8, which was my target, and it Nonetheless ran cooler then it did operating three.4 with stock cooler, so i figured what the hell, and took it to 4., and its Nevertheless operating cooler idle and beneath load by about 4 degrees C then stock cooler at three.four. On major of all that... ITS QUIET, quite quite quiet, with both fans on, its still quiter then the stock heatsink. I will reccomend this cooler to anybody that has the space and airflow in their case. Not a con, but its huge, my Antec Nine Hundred Two clears it by like half an inch, and i had to modify my side fan since it wouldnt clear the heatsink. Obtain it, also Noctua presents a free kit from their web site if you get it if your running an AMD system and require to rotate the heatsink for airflow. Thats service and help!Prime 95 for 12 hours peak temp at 4.0ghz 45.7 Celcius.-AMD 965 Black Edition OC to four.0ghz-8 GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 12800-MSI NF980-G65 AM3 NVIDIA SLI Motherboard-Raid 1 Dual 500 GB Seagate Barracuda -Antec Nine Hundred II case

Keeps my AMD X4 640 at the same or lower temperatures as my previous low profile cooler... but my Noctua isn't working with fans. I'm using this in a Lian Li Computer-A05NB. The rear fan is an intake, so I tried it fanless. It functions much better than I believed. The Noctua U12P SE2 isn't designed for passive use, even though you could argue it isn't genuinely passive in my application. The top quality is astounding. It is created in Taiwan, not China, and it really shows. The guidelines are some of the best (for anything). All of the hardware is of superb top quality and the mounting style is excellent as properly. Even the included case badge is additional than just a sticker.I tried utilizing a single, then each, then no fans. I have an unusual case in that the airflow is back to front, so that the cpu location get the cool intake air. My temps were decrease throughout gaming than at idle with my preceding cooler. I skilled a 10c drop in greatest temps with Prime 95. AMD mounting can\'t be turned 90 degrees except by the use of a separate kit. This kit is totally free from Noctua's site to owners. That's in fact pretty cool even though. I filled out the form five minutes immediately after ordering this from the Egg. It merely calls for the invoice from the Noctua and the AMD motherboard or the processor. It could up to two weeks to receive, but I'm hoping since I live in America and not Tanzania that I will get it in a single. It may well look a tiny high-priced. It may not be the absolute best in terms of temperature, but it's close. This is more than sufficient for something but the highest overclocks. And it's virtually silent. You can't beat that.

The quality of the items fans and directions look really great. I guess I was just an fortunate buyer and got a defective mounting bracket since one particular of the holes were messed up. Hopefully my next a single is flawless.

This is by far 1 of the very best cpu coolers I have ever owned. Installation was easy as pie, the fans are quiet and move a lot of air, and the more than all contruction and high quality is the finest I've ever seen. Even though this factor is massive, it is genuinely light in weight. It could not have that Direct heat touch selection, but it cools your cpu genuinely excellent. Keeps my overclocked core i7 860 well underneath dangerous temps. And it fits with a lot of area on an Asus Maximus III Formula motherboard and inside a cooler master CM 690 II Advance laptop or computer case. On my motherboard, while it fits, it does cover the 1st ram slot with the two fans mounted. But I only need 4GB so it's not going to be a problem. Even although in the future, I might upgrade to a far better cpu cooler. I will usually use the fans it came with. The fans are rated one of the ideal on the marketplace as of this review.

Very uncomplicated to install in a new program. Incredibly stable mounting program. Nearly silent even with both fans operating at regular speed. Excellent cooling. High high quality in every single way. It's substantial -- but fits just fine in an NZXT Phantom case. Can't think about a far better cooler. Keeps my Intel I5-760 idling at 21 degrees C. Good product; quite glad I purchased it.

Outstanding high quality and excellent mounting technique. Easy to set up. Basically silent in my quiet i7-980x, ASUS Ramage III built with 12 GB of memory and ten SATA devices in a Silverstone Fortress two case. The fins and the construction are a work of art but I guess efficiency is what counts as 1 doesn't generally commit a lot of time in front of an open box...heat sink feels about like ambient temp. Processor temp is about 32 deg C which is in all probability affordable. Just standard built with no overclocking. Am only employing one of the two fans which seems fine. Pricey but worth the expense given the quality of the itemɅ) heatsink construction and finish outstanding.2) mounting hardware is exemplary and feels solid. Don't care a lot for the Intel push pins.three) Instructions are as good as it gets I like the excellent of this item so considerably and how silent the fan is am taking into consideration replacing all case fans to Noctua.

Wonderful make quality, good documentation, straightforward/straightforward to set up, comes with all accessories/parts required, fantastic cooling overall performance. None. Given the price, the type aspect and all round excellent & overall performance, you have to search at this as a wonderful cooler. I'm employing it on an overclocked i7-930 and I can easily hit four.0Ghz in a silent case but prime goes to about 90C. So, I choose to run be concerned-no cost at three.6GHz and generally the temps range in genuine-planet situations from 37-48C. Once again, this is a silent case with Noctua fans all about and not some kid-oriented loud case with tons of airflow.

Installed the cooler utilizing a I7 2600K and AsRock P67 Pro overclock to four.five and was off and flying in 5 minutes.Idle temp is 31C and load 54C. non path a small sketchey on how to mount the fans but is silent and does the job.

This is effortlessly the very best CPU cooler that I have ever worked with. The build top quality on Noctua's items is wonderful. The fans are of the best good quality, and amazingly quiet. With this cooler, I was in a position to overclock my AMD Phenom II x4 965 to 4.3GHz, and under no circumstances have the Core temp go above 51 degrees in Prime 95. The color of the fans looks pretty undesirable in any gaming setup. Mind you, that they are of wonderful excellent, just undesirable color scheme. If you are an Overclocker, then get either this cooler, or the Noctua NH-D14. You can never go incorrect with Noctua products

As I was placing with each other components for my first i7 construct, I elected to go with an aftermarket cooler (versus Intel OEM), so that in the event I elected to overclock, heat matters would be at a minimum. This unit received very good evaluations, so I elected to take a likelihood. I'm glad I did - the powerful testimonials were spot on. Solid craftsmanship, stunning, and productive. It's a fantastic style. Guidelines had been very good, and the set up procedure was very easy. Minimal ... if you elect to mount it in a style where the "push" fan (on correct side) is close to the memory slots, your initially stick will not be capable to use any sort of dramatic cooling add-on. Fortunately on my Gigabyte X58 board, the initial set of slots you use are 1,three, and five (skipping the initial 1, slot ). Nonetheless, once I completely populate all slots, the initially memory stick will have to have its cooling add-on removed. I don't believe it will be considerably of an concern. Because it is now a cooler aspect of the year, I won't be in a position to compare this unit's effectiveness with larger temps any time soon. However, I am confident it will do well when the time comes.

Got it at a great price of $39.99 from NCIX. Don't just settle for CM 212 evo, step it up if you value a cool and quiet system.

Comment:
Cools very well and the fans are practically totally silent. And I might be the only 1 but I like the brown color of the fans. Extremely significant. I have a full tower case and it is a quite tight squeeze. Make confident you have sufficient space in your case!

Comment:
Very fantastic cooling. Keeps my overclocked quad core cooler than stock intel cooler at stock frequencies. The create good quality is superb and the directions are clear. It is also near silent. Takes some time to install.

Any heat troubles immediately gone! Primed an vervolted quad core at 54C. Big, but it did fit in my two mid size towers. Like it!!

Tremendous cooling. Extremely silent (even with both fans at full speed). As an aerodynamicist i can inform engineers at Noctua did some severe aero-acoustic and heat transfer calculations. Thermal compound supplied and is quite efficient. Size of the unit - Not really a con for what it does and how effectively it does. Fits in an Antec 200 Mid Tower case but I had to take away the side fan even though...Also really quite close to the graphics card correct underneat it. I am not a gamer so i a modest low-cost Nvidia 8400GS, but gamers with larger cards may have difficulty fitting it. Individuals who have regular ATX motherboards and total tower circumstances want not be concerned. On a Gigabyte P55M - UD2 motherboard, this thing is cooling a core i7 860. At idle, the temperatures hover about 15c+/-3C and at full load (CFD) with all 4 cores and eight threads running at 100%, the temperatures keep below 41C. A lot of room for a lot more Corsair XMS3 RAM units.

Some people don't like the color. I think it's different and the earth tones are pleasant. It's a classy look that sets them apart.

Only the finest aspirated cooling I have ever observed. I was utilizing this on an AMD II X2 240 for well more than a year, never ever had the temp go above 28C, even at full load.I am now utilizing this heatsink to cool a new AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition. At idle this heatsink is keeping the processor at 16C. At load the highest I have observed it go is 30C.This thing is surprisingly really for its enormous size. I do not have any of the two extra plugs attached that lower voltage to quiet the fans, and yet still can\'t hear them with the situation closed.The fan mounts vertically which is excellent as it will push air directly out of the major fan of the case. This factor is massive... I wouldn't recommend obtaining this heatsink to put in a situation smaller than eight.5" wide, as the side panel may well not fit. In addition to a wide situation you also want a situation there the power supply mounts on the bottom. In a single of my old instances this heatsink was pushing hot air up into the power supply directly, and the power supply did finish up failing as a result of this. In all honesty, I advise obtaining a distinct situation that will accommodate this beast. It's just that excellent. Temperature ranges amongst 16C and 30C on a 125W 6core is only too superior to pass up,in particular for how tiny this cooling technique charges compared to other systems.

Really nice and futuristic searching, 2-fan kit, cools my CPU down like crazy with OC. As well large. Make confident to stick to the instructions on applying the thermal paste. I did it by manually spreading out the paste, which didn't operate at all. My CPU maxed out at 100C and it had to throttle itself to conserve its life. Finally, I dropped a massive drop in the center, install the heat sink on major, and voila.Also, if you have my EVGA x58 mobo, dont even Feel about fitting the second fan, nor a second set of triple-channel RAM.Here are my specs:EVGA X58 E758-A1 132-BL-E758-A1Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield two.8GHz (OC'ed 3.32)OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ700MXSP 700W ATX12V V2.two / EPS12VOCZ Platinum 3x2GB DDR3-1600 (PC3 12800) OCZ3P1600LV6GKBFG Tech BFGEGTX275896OCE GTX 275 896MB 448-bitAntec Sonata Elite BlackWD VelociRaptor 150GB 10000rpm 16MB Cache (x1)WD 640GB 7200rpm 16MB Cache (x2)Hitachi 500GB 7200rpm 16MB Cache (x1)Razer Salmosa Gaming MouseWindows 7 Ultimate x64

I love that cooler. I have tried all water cooled corsair cooler, and all pupms were noisy. This cooler is really quiet!

Comment:
Really quiet, lots of cooling. Simple to assemble Size. I'm not confident if I could add one more two sticks of RAM. And I certainly can't awesome them. But I feel that's to be expected with most air coolers. Make confident you note the dimensions and compare them to your motherboard.
