> 3 dayBased upon the physical characteristics this CPU cooler looks to be very well constructed and easy to install. Unfortunately, I have been waiting for months for the Ryzen 9-5900X processor that is going to go into this build. I will revise my remarks when my processor becomes available.

> 3 dayCela ne sert a rien.. de commenter un tel produit ! impossible démettre une critique tellement Noctua fabrique de la qualité. Combiné a un i7 8700, il sera largement suffisant pour du jeu tout en étant silencieux. A acheter les yeux fermés.

> 3 dayThe NH-U12S is an excellent air cooler. Had a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Black which failed after a few months. The fan starting making scraping sounds and then died. Had purchased Noctua years ago and a NH-U12P cooler which was excellent quality and decided to give them another chance even though the price was high.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups. |
100% RAM compatibilityThanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and ensures 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts world-wide, the Noctua"s premium quality NF-F12 Focused Flow 120mm fan is renowned to combine superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundHaving received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua"s NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. |
