    It still makes noise, like any fan. Low frequency and not annoying though.

    Dropped my temps from 55 degrees celsius to 37 degrees idling. And very quiet all around good cpu cooler but just kinda frustrating to install.

    I always buy after market coolers, but typically aim in the $20-$30 range, but decided to splurge on this one as I heard such good things. I while playing Overwatch at 1440p, while streaming video and had some other apps running, I peaked at 58c, but was usually in the 40s. This is with a Meshify case. Overwatch might not be the best gauge, but I am impressed none the less with these temps. I was idling around 35c.

    Using this to cool a Ryzen 5800x and its performing well! My case is a Phantek p500a. Kind of a gamble going with this cooler and not a more powerful model, but no regrets thus far. Super quiet too.

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.

NT-H1 thermal compound

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.
