Noctua NH-U12DO FAQs How can I check whether my case is wide/high enough for the cooler? I get a CPU fan error despite the fan is running! Which Noctua coolers are compatible with LGA1150? How can I check whether my case is wide/high enough for the cooler? In order to check whether the cooler isn’t too high for your case, please measure the distance from the motherboard tray to the side panel (tower cases) or top panel (desktop cases). If this distance is bigger than the height of the cooler + 15mm (mainboard spacers + mainboard + CPU), the height/width of your case should be sufficient. I get a CPU fan error despite the fan is running! Some mainboards display a CPU fan error when the fan speed falls below a certain threshold, e.g. 900rpm. If you want to run the fan below this speed (e.g. using the supplied U.L.N.A.), please adjust the threshold in the BIOS or disable CPU fan error warning. Which Noctua coolers are compatible with LGA1150? The mounting is identical on all LGA115x sockets (LGA1150, LGA1155, LGA1156).

	23.05.2013 - pc-overware.be NH-L9i Test verdict: "Ce que nous pouvons dire c’est que ce petit Noctua sera le compagnon idéal des cartes mères mini-itx couplées à un processeur Intel à faible consommation et placées dans un boitier exigu. Il s’adressera aux perfectionnistes exigeants quant à la qualité des composants de leur système. Des systèmes Home Cinéma principalement, mais aussi un petit serveur ou un nettop."

	22.05.2013 - CoolingTechnique.com NH-U12S Test verdict: "Le nuove soluzioni di raffreddamento a marchio Noctua si dimostrano più come un passo avanti nella tecnologia dell'air cooling piuttosto che come la solita minestrina riscaldata a cui ormai ci stanno abituando da qualche tempo a questa parte."
