Nice and quiet Easy to install
-Rivals the Noctua NH D-15 by around 1 degree of difference at 1/3 the price! -Easy to setup -No cons -Is only $40
-Easy install -Quality materials
- Low profile - Quiet - Less RPM with better cooling than stock fan - Affordable
Wow. From the installation instructions, included hardware (there's even a long screwdriver!), quiet and efficient operation, I don't think you can find a better cooler for a Skylake chip that the NH-U12S. My i7 6700k never peaks above 60C and stays at 55C under load while idling at 25C and the chip is o.c'd to 4.6Ghz (which seems to be the standard overclock speed for this processor). I've never seen the fan show any speed over 800 rpm and the LNA is not installed. So far it hasn't needed to go faster. The included thermal paste is excellent so save your money on other people's stuff. It fits the LGA 1151 with ease and the hardware is so robust that even though this is a weighty cooler it is rock solid on the mother board; I had no qualms when it came time to stand up the case . As advertised it doesn't interfere with the RAM slot on the far side. I either have a dead slot or I suck at installing RAM (the latter is more likely) so I wound up using the slot closest to the cooler and there was no problem what so ever (Ballistix 2x8GB 2400)
Magnetic and it makes the system look even cleaner!
- Fills in the areas of the AM5 cpu preventing thermal paste from getting under the IHS - Cheap and awesome quality - Comes with a tool and thermal paste
put this on a i5-12400F. added a 2nd Deepcool fan on the backside of the heatsink. CPU runs cool at 30c with both fans on silent. I have built a good number of PC's over the last 20 years and this heatsink/fan unit was one of the easiest to install. I used the thermal paste that was already on the heatsink as it was only a thin layer. You dont have the screw the fans to the heatsink which is convenient. The wire brackets it comes work perfectly fine for holding the fans in place as the Deepcool 120 mm fans have rubber feet where the screw holes are at to dampen the vibration.
- Quiet - Great cooling - White version looks very clean and sleek
- hefty, solid design - quiet - nicely packaged
- Low profile fits great for my 2U sever - Pretty quite as well
No complaints, working well, not noisy
Has great cooling. Keeping my 9800x3D under 75C when gaming. Remarkably quiet too.
