great model, love it

Keep in mind - the cooler is just really huge. So it won't fit in every case. There could also be issues with memory modules. But if everything fits without problems, you will never regret the purchase. After installation, my Core i7 3770k processor has never exceeded 55 degrees under load.
Cools like a charm. Excellent build quality. Wonderful package, which includes two luxurious fans and even a screwdriver. In my case, two fans are excessive, but I installed them out of interest to try them out. Even then, there's no noise. In the end, I left one 120mm, and placed the small one on the chassis, replacing a simpler model that was previously installed there. By the way, when the fans eventually get noisy, they can easily be swapped for any others. But I think that won't be necessary for a long time. The build quality is top-notch. In a word, Noctua, this manufacturer has always been great at making coolers.
The installation was a bit of a hassle. By the time I figured everything out, I managed to get tired three times. Although, if I had to install it a second time, I wouldn't spend as much time on it.
use Noctua NH-L12 week i recommend it should buy
Just a very good cooler

A very interesting model that I can recommend to anyone who needs a quiet fan. High-quality cooling is guaranteed. After installing this miracle, my Intel Core i7 temperature has never risen above 50 degrees, even under prolonged maximum loads.
A very quiet cooler, produces much less noise than a boxed solution. Made with high quality. There were no problems with the installation. An excellent package, which includes not only branded thermal paste, but also a simple screwdriver. I was very pleased with the quality of the packaging. You immediately realize that you have purchased a good solution. Everything is carefully unpacked into bags and laid out. If necessary, there are no problems with replacing the fan.
Massive sizes. But this is not a drawback, but a technical feature that should simply be taken into account when purchasing and installing. So, if the motherboard has massive cooling or memory modules with massive radiators, then installation problems may arise. But this is possible with any modern supercooler.
use Noctua NH-L12 month or more i recommend it should buy
