    I am very pleased with this product. It is very good quality and performs as expected. I deducted one star because I ordered the separate LGA775 mounting kit, which is free, and they forgot to include 4 of the screws. However they responded very fast and I had asked them just to tell me what size screw to buy at my local hardware store as that would be faster. I got them and everything is fine.

    I dont know why you would buy any other brand. Everything from the build quality to the packaging. Some of the best fans I have ever used. Havent tested temps yet but I havent really been over clocking my cpu either. Size wise also, it can be mounted horizontally or vertical in my fractal r4. A++ x 4 = noctua products

    Super high quality product and lowered the temps on an upgraded processor far beyond anything the stock cooler could hope to do. Great product at a fair price.

    Great cooler, upgraded from wraith prism. Had a 10°c drop on the max and a 4° drop on the low. Easy to install. Threw on another fan for push/pull as it comes with 2 extra fan clips. Best part is the noise difference between the wraith prism and this. Always recommend Noctua.

    Noctua makes great coolers. No, theyre not cheap and this one came with only one fan (my previous Noctua fan actually included two for increased, push-pull cooling), but you cant beat these for quiet, yet powerful air cooling. Its the gold standard as far as Im concerned...

    Komplett zufrieden. Der Kühler ist echt super, er hat eine sehr gute Kühlleistung und ist sowas von leise, das er bei volllast nur ganz schwach zu hören ist, wenn es im Raum ruhig ist.

    Excellent product. As quiet as water coolers and more reliable.

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.

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.
