> 3 dayHave a bit of sound in my case that is a little annoying. Am using this and 2 Noctua A140 case fans as well as whatever fan came in the EVGA 650 P2 PSU. Among all of that is a little bit of noise compared to the OEM Fractal Design Define R4 fans I was using prior but overall its doing a pretty good job so far.

> 3 dayThe fitting kit is great. All the options for each supported CPU are provided, so you end up with lots of bits left over. But the framework to support the relatively large heatsink is confidence inspiring.

> 3 dayI purchased this cooling solution after experiencing major issues with the Hyper Evo 212 which, in my opinion, has a terrible mounting solution - mainly they tighten the CPU down to the motherboard way too much. I wrecked two motherboards trying to mount the Hyper Evo 212 and ended up with bent pins for my troubles. So, I went back to the drawing board and found the Noctua NC-U12S. What a difference! Easy to install. No frustrating mounting issues. Quiet fan. All in all, just a joy to install. I didnt even care about the fan color and to be honest, the brown color grew on me over time. Ive had mine installed for several months now and my temps are rock steady and COOL. Ill be using the Noctua coolers as my stock in trade solution for future builds.

> 3 dayThis CPU cooler is amazing! I just built a rig with i7 8700k. After playing games as well as extracting for half an hour, I checked the temperature: Wow, it constantly stays below mid 50C, and the max has never exceeded 60C. Couldnt be happier with a air cooler.

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. |
