> 3 dayPurtroppo non ho avuto modo di installarlo perché non mi entrava nel case, ma osservando l’imballaggio, la serietà della Noctua, la qualità costruttiva del dissipatore e di tutte le sue componenti (ventola, alette di raffreddamento ecc..) e leggendo le varie recensioni, non posso che consigliarlo a tutti, in qualità di Ingegnere Meccanico!!

> 3 dayEverything feels high quality, easy installation, no clearance problems. My i7-4770k with the stock cooler would hit 200F under load. With the NH-U12S, the CPU temp wont go above 135F and the fan remains at a nice quiet 500rpm.

> 3 dayTemp sensors never get out of the 60s when the CPU utilization is running at 100%. It is tall. I had to remove the side panel on the case, but not a problem.

> 3 dayI have 2 of these; one cooling my i7-8700k and one cooling my Xeon server. Noctua has become my go-to brand for air cooling and airflow accessories. The NH-U12 is an amazing cooler! The thermal dissipation capacity of this cooler is overkill for any CPU that is 95 W TDP and under. If you add a second fan for a push/pull configuration, itll handle just about any typical overclock. Noctuas fluid bearing fans are very quiet and draw much less power than sleeve or ball bearing fans. All their products also come with unheard of warranties. These coolers are probably going to be inherited across my next few gaming and server rigs!

12-06-2025I received my product. However, the AMD package for the installation was missing. After contacting the support team and two weeks of waiting, I received just a single mounting bar.
The NH-U12S is the latest 12cm model of Noctua’s classic U-series single tower CPU coolers, which have received more than 400 awards and recommendations from the international press. The S-version’s 45mm slim shape ensures 100% compatibility with tall RAM modules and at the same time, its fine-tuned design and the class-leading NF-F12 FocusedFlow fan with PWM support for fully automatic speed control allow it to further improve its predecessor’s renowned quiet cooling performance. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12S is a complete premium quality solution that combines outstanding performance, quiet operation and excellent compatibility.

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. |
