> 3 dayRead all the reviews from Linus Tech Tips and sure enough I can see why he loves Noctua products. Installing it was a literal godsend! I owned a Xigmatech Dark Knight 2 and that thing was a absolute nightmare to install. This only took me 20 minutes to install properly.

> 3 dayEmballage très bien conçu, complet (pâte thermique de qualité incluse et tous accessoires fournis), facile à installer, aucun soucis avec la ram. Le plus important : refroidit très bien en silence (2éme ventilateur possible) et garantie de 6 ans ! Mon boîtier n’est pas vitré donc je me fiche de la couleur qui, finalement, n’est pas si moche ;-). Existe en noir cela dit.

Greater than one weekWent from 60+ degrees on stock intl cooler for my 3570k, to a constant 30-45 MAX after being on constantly, everyday. Best cooler for the money and ridiculously quiet, if I didnt have a power led I wouldnt know my Pc was on lol. And I get the use of my top pci express slot. Considered buying the big brother to this, nhd14 but since I no interest in heavy overclocking this suits just fine. Based on my temps, and considering where I live is very hot during the day, I would definitely recommend this for light overclocking as well.

> 3 dayThe Noctua NH-U12 S is everything that you read on line about the product. From the packaging to the solid well made parts you will not go wrong buying this line of coolers. They are so quiet I have to look down to make sure my computer is still on. Well worth the extra money for the quality and performance it delivers.

> 3 dayFYI: Getting the fan clips on and in place after screwing the heatsink over the CPU can be a huge pain. A loop of string easy solves that issue.

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. |
