> 3 dayRead the reviews here, and via the net. This is a solid cooler. Ive got my i5-4670K OCd to 4.4ghz just fine with the NH-U12. And it runs pretty quiet too! would recommend to anyone looking to OC the i5.

> 3 dayIve purchased a number of high end CPU coolers over the years, but this is my first one from Noctua. The packaging and documentation are excellent. Installation was easy. Most important (to me) is that this thing is silent. The package comes with everything needed to install it, including thermal compound and a screw driver. It also includes a fan silencer that reduces voltage to the fan to lower the RPM and therefore noise. It is easy to mount the heat sink and fan in a number of different orientations to give yourself the best air flow through your case. I tried it with and without the fan silencer, and decided not to use the silencer since the fan is still very quiet without it.

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. |
