Great heatsinkMay 25, 2010
I purchased this heatsink after two of my friends also go the same one for their computer. I'm running an i7 and it helped drop my temps from ~52C to 39C. I'm only using one of the two 120mm fans that they have provided too. It's a little bigger than what I'm used to and it required me to remove one of my side fans, but it was well worth it. I definitely would purchase another Noctua product in the future.

Noctua NH-U12PMar 26, 2010
I purchased this fan to replace an old stock fan on an AMD X2. My old fan was getting way too loud, so I spent a lot of time researching quiet solutions. Noctua is very well known for producing quality quiet fans, so I thought I'd shell out for one of their CPU coolers. Shopping around, I found the best price here for $65 shipped. This is a great price, as most other places list it for around $85 shipped. When I got the fan it was fairly easy to install, the parts were well organized in the packaging, no complaints there. The cooler is large, but most coolers are. It's still dwarfed by my Cosmos case. The cooler came with two fans, only needed one, so I mounted the other one to replace a case fan. After booting up and leaving my computer idle for about 6 hours my CPU temp is around 32C, much lower than the 40+ I was getting with stock. This is a great cooler, and I would recommend it to anyone who's even considering it. My one and only complaint is that my case is so quiet now that I can hear my monitor buzzing.

Great Cooler and Quiet!Oct 24, 2009
Bought this from one of the resellers for 66.49 (don't know where Amazon get's their $140+ price from). Am using it on i7 860 chip. This is one of the few coolers that has a bracket for the 1156 socket. The unit comes with two 120mm Noctua fans. I only used one and used the other to replace an Antec case fan that came with the case.
With no OC, the idle temp ranges 24-27°C. Using an Asus P7P55D motherboard and using their auto OC tuning, idle temp range jumps up about 10°C. Have only had this build up and running for two days, so I have not had a chance to do much testing. I'm not a gamer, so it should be more than adequate cooling for my needs. And it's quiet-really quiet.
Caution: this is a large heat sink and will not fit in some cases. I'm using an Antec P-183 case and have about an inch clearance between the top of the cooler and the case cover.
