Greater than one weekI didn’t think I’d write a negative review, let alone for an item of a well-known and reputed brand such as Noctua, but I was very frustrated when I was building a PC, trying to mount this cooler and discovering that the box didn’t come with the thermal paste. I think it should have also included noise adapter cable but I was too focused on thermal paste. Everyone mentioned that this would include thermal paste, I have seen it in the reviews, videos, on the store page and even on the box itself, but to my surprise, there wasn’t any, so if I didn’t have a stock AMD cooler, I basically would have to delay my PC build which I already had prepared for 2 months already. I am very disappointed, please beware of this before purchasing this item.

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. |
