> 3 dayI replaced a Wraith Prism with this cooler, and its like I have a different PC its so quiet! I always heard that Noctuas were quiet and efficient, but seeing first hand really is believing! Super cool temps on my 3700x and the fans hardly ever ramp up. The cooler is taller than I expected, but going from a down-firing cooler to a full tower probably set me up to see things a certain way. I will absolutely be giving Noctua my business again!

> 3 dayIve used only a total of three coolers since I made my PC, but this one produces the lowest temperatures, with literally NO noise most of the time. Ive known that Noctua makes top of the line coolers for a while, but for some reason Ive put off getting one until my stock cooler started to buzz. Im glad I went with a Noctua. The installation was very fast and easy, mounting is sturdy, and its super easy to clean the fan because you can detach it in seconds without having to take the whole cooler out. This also allows you to vacuum out the heatsink without removing the cooler. This is THE cooler I would recommend for someone who wants the best performance for the price.

> 3 dayCercavo un cooler x CPU col massimo della silenziosità e credo di aver fatto centro con questo articolo. La scatola contiene tutto il necessario per il montaggio sulla scheda madre inclusa la pasta termica. Linstallazione risulta rapida e facilissima. Lunica cosa da tener docchio è la dimensione del case perché le dimensioni del cooler sono piuttosto importanti.

> 3 dayFor some reason. I tried to install this on the mounting brackets that were correctly screwed into my motherboard. I tried for 2.5 hours but I could not for the life of me get the mounting screws on either side of the cooler to thread properly with their mounting slots on the mounting brackets so I gave up and went with the AMD stock cooler instead. Very disappointed in this product.

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. |
