    I got tired of replacing aio liquid cooling. After 2 or 3 years they all went out, tried different brands and everything. This bad boy is a best though, cools my i7 8700k perfectly.

    Came from a Wraith Prism cooler on a Ryzen 3900x. Thinking of swapping out the fans for the A12x25 PWM fans, however the installation and performance of this thing is brilliant. Installation took no less than just five minutes, manuals being easy to read and fairly easy to screw in and mount the cooler.

    Dropped my CPU temps at least 10 - 15 degrees C. from a decent stock cooler.

    Quiet and efficient as advertised, works perfect with my 7700k and 120mm case. I manage to have the CPU at 35C idle/60C under load

    What a monster! Quality piece, but proc still runs warmer than I would like. Better than stock, comparable to Coolermaster. Coolermaster was half the price of the Noctua.

    Ero incerto e alle prime armi con una ventola non stock. Ho consultato una serie di Video su YouTube e alla fine ho scelto questo Noctua NH-U12S per il mio processore AMD II x6 Phenom. Sono soddisfatto da tutto: imballaggio, qualità prodotto, istruzioni, e il rumore della ventola. Cè la possibilità di aggiungerne una, forse lo farò ma più in la quando cambio anche la scheda video.

    Took 10 minutes to install very easy to do for new builders. Came with thurmal past and a long bit screwdriver. Works like a charm lowered CPU temps by 20C at full load from stock. 10/10 recommend

    I love this fan! It is my second one. The first I bought last year. Its easy to install and its silent. I use one on each of my gaming pc builds and would highly recommend and I do to my friends. I definitely received the value and more!

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.
