> 3 dayThis fan is great. I have an over clocked fx 6300 to 4.5ghz. Used to run very hot with stock heat sink, it now idles in the mid 20 Celsius. This one specifically great if you dont want anything blocked on your motherboard. Best heat sink money can

> 3 dayI love noctua now, there is only a few degree difference in the coolers and this is the most reasonably sized one. It comes with everything needed and great instructions. I needed a different mount hardware and noctua sent it to me for free. Super easy to install and runs 10degree C cooler than my 120mm radiator even though I overclocked it after putting in noctua. This cooler is going to stay with me through pc upgrades for years.

> 3 dayThis is a great CPU cooler and it fits my Motherboard and case without a problem. My G.Skill Ripjaws ram which I have in all available slots is happy and untouched by it. Most importantly my Phenom2 x 6 1090T has been in the 31* to 45*C range!

> 3 dayThis thing is amazing at keeping the cpu cool, but be aware this will only fit in full or large mid tower cases, or if your case is particularly wide.

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. |

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. |
