 Great Cooler and Quiet!Oct 24, 2009
By Robert
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.

Cools 20C Better Than Stock Intel I7 CPU CoolerNov 02, 2010
By upsididdle
Not only did this CPU cooler work better than the stock Intel cooler it was whisper quiet even though it has two fans. Although the cooler is heavy its motherboard backplate gives it a firm base.
The cooler attaches firmly to the CPU with well designed hardware.
Aside from the exception below, the product manual and installation directions are excellent.
The only negative is that the pictures and directions for attaching the wire clips that hold the fans in place are not clear. But the clips work well once you figure out how to attach them.

The best coolerNov 01, 2010
By Miguel Flecha
A great cooler, silent, big, with 2 fan. I preferred to not put the cables for Low noise and ultra low noise, but it is very silent.
Awkward to install, a little dificult, and very big, so your gabinet have to be mid or full tower.

Met my expectationsOct 17, 2010
By Pratapa R. Sanaga
This was my first time building a PC and I chose this product based on its good reviews. This keeps the temperatures in my CPU below 50 and the noise is not even noticeable unless I have my ear very close to the case.
It took a while for me to figure out how to assemble this piece, especially pinning the 2nd fan to the heat sink, but that is not a big issue.
One thing to be careful while buying this is - the size of the CPU case. I think I have a mid tower ATX case and this unit just fits in the case. I had to get rid of my CPU case fan as there was no space after I put this in there. I don't know if the CPU fan would have made things any better or not, I'm happy with just this.

Noctua NH-U12PMar 26, 2010
By Chandler Moore
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.
