> 3 dayTotally satisfied purchase, Id totally buy another one in the future. Its kind of pricey for an air cooler but I guess thats the premium you pay for such a quiet and functional cooler.

> 3 dayI can barely tell when the computer is on after installing this cooling set, the fan is almost completely silent. Unlike its bigger cousins, the U12S is also reasonably sized to allow easy access to the ram slots on my Z490 mobo.

Greater than one weekGreat thin cooler, it does keep my Intel i5 under 50C when doing stress test over an hour with ~30% fan speed.

> 3 dayIch bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kühler. Er hält meinen i7 4790k nach 20 Minuten Stresstest auf durchschnittlich unter 60 Grad und ist dabei kaum hörbar.

> 3 dayInstallation is a breeze. It fits perfectly in my mid-size case (Phantom 410). Clears DDRAM very well. With the stock cooler, my CPU temps would spike from time to time. The top temps went away & the idle temps even dropped noticeably. It ships with enough thermal paste for a couple applications in case you need to & an extra set of wires, should you want to add an additional fan for redundancy! Mounts for both AMD & Intel.

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. |
