Noctua NH-U12F CPU Cooler & NF-S12-1200 Fan

INTRODUCTION

Like hundreds of thousands of Computer Enthusiasts I was recently smitten with a common ailment "Upgraditis" which was rapidly diagnosed by my fellow proteges at Bjorn3d. Once the diagnosis was confirmed it was time to act quickly less the disease progress to the more advance stages. The tests rapidly showed that I had a very common strain of the disease called "Conroeferomonitis" which is more commonly referred to as "Conroe Syndrome". Most of us that have suffered from this ailment know quite easily how to cure the disease but also know the treatments can be quite expensive. Well, rather than prolonging my suffering anymore I decided to opt for the Level 3 cure also known by most as the "E6600". After receiving this treatment posthaste my symptoms immediately got better and I felt complete recovery was imminent. Little did I know!

It appears the complexity of this strain of the disease was much more engrained than I initially realized. After doing much research I found that a complete cure could only be realized with the use of other therapeutic agents. One by one I again researched what I felt would be the best remedies and ordered them from computer-pharmacies far and wide. After all treatments arrived and were implemented I still had one clearly evident symptom which might be the hardest to cure an ever-present temperature issue. I wrote to all my sources for suggestions to my return to complete freedom from this improving illness and low and behold an Austrian company by the name of Noctua sensed I needed help and responded without my ever notifying them. Hopefully all my problems would soon be solved in just a few days.

Once the product arrived at my doorstep I gingerly picked it up as not to damage what I sincerely hoped was the final long-lasting cure to my ailment. What follows is my description of just how this cure was implemented to stem the rising temperature issues associated with my disease. Will this product, the Noctua NH-U12F, cure my ills or will I lapse into the final stages of this deadly disease? Join me and we'll soon find out!
