    Ive struggled a lot with competitors products throughout the last 15 years. Noctua somehow has a bracket system and overall product that is a pleasure to install. Ive re-installed it many times tinkering with thermal paste and different processors on the Z97 boards. I never thought Id be happy to take this thing off and put it back on again, but here I am.

    I have used Noctua exclusively over the last several years and they have never failed me. Very high quality product that cools my CPUs down extremely well and all at a modest price. Many of the models are large though so you really have to know what you are ordering, otherwise it may not fit. This is a solid choice for a standard width tower case (not a slim case) and it should clear most if not all DIMMs and capacitors around the CPU.

    Good bit of kit and silent.

    Not much to say. The stock AMD Ryzen 5 3600 cooler had my CPU at 46c with 2% CPU utilization. After installing Noctua NH-U12S, I am sitting at 32c-34c with 2% CPU utilization .

    Inaudible en dessous de 70%, il maintient un 6700K (non overclocké) à 30° en bureautique et le laisse monter qq fois vers 50° en gros jeux multithread.

    Compatible with the NZXT H440 case. This is a low profile after-market cooler that gets the job done. Very content with my purchase :)

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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.

Having 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.
