> 3 dayIve bought a bunch of CPU coolers and case fans from Noctua over the last few years, and I think I will continue to. This unit was the largest I could fit into my mITX case and its been great. Quiet and efficient, just what I want for a lounge room PC build. You pay a little extra for Noctua quality, but you probably be able to put it in your next PC, given the longevity of their equipment. Definitely recommended.

16-11-2024Really happy with purchase. I got it for my 2700X when the stock cooler started making funny noises , and couldnt be happier. Much quieter, more consistent, and significant reduction in temps (Prime95 running at 65C at 4.0GHz vs 75C at 3.9GHz on stock)

> 3 dayThis thing is fantastic. Went from a jet engine to nothing. Temps stay cool and noise level is almost none existent, even maxed out. This company knows how to make fans.

> 3 dayAwesome heatsink and awesome case fans. Bought this for my new ryzen set up and works perfectly and properly came with the am4 mounts. First time using this brand and they just won me over! Keep up the good work!

Greater than one weekI bought this for my Ryzen 7 3800XT cpu for my very first pc build. Keep in mind as you read this that I did the entire process for the first time, not just the installation of this fan.

> 3 dayI am so happy i follower my instinct and trust the reviews. I got the se m4 single fan version. My processor, a ryzen 5 3600 came with the stealth cooler, and I was not happy with the results. I was in the 60-70 degree range pretty much all the time. As soon as I installed this new fan/heatsink, my temps dropped to the 30s and worst case in the high 40s

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. |
