    Un Ventirad excellent, silencieux et avec une énorme capacité de dissipation.

    It is fairly big, it doesnt affect the ram at all, and the video cards have no issues with the size either, the cards are Nvidia Gtx 680 classifieds so you know they are fairly large for video cards. Im also using an ASUS V. Maximus Extreme motherboard and I have no spacing issues with the size either. You can check out the Noctua website to find if your motherboard is compatible and if their CPU coolers will cause any spacing problems. Very informative lists on their website, and Im very pleased with the performance of this cooler. Also for the price its a very good cooler worth every penny.

    This cooled my Intel CPU 20~30 degrees Celsius more than the heatsink that came free with it while running at 100%. This is a huge improvement. Great product!

    This is over 6 tall and needs an appropriate case to fit in. The profile doesnt interfere with the RAM

    Hello person on the internet! If you are looking to see if this works as intended, and well, its perfect. Take it from someone that would overheat with 3 liquid cooled fans. I did a test run with this fan, no extra fans included, and my pc didnt overheat. Connecting it was a breeze.

    Etwas teuer aber tut wirklich was es soll. Im vergleich zu einem billig Kühler gehen die CPU-Temperaturen einiges nach unten. Hält nun schon seit 2 Jahren und ist immer noch extrem leise.

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.
