> 3 dayThe radiator and fan both work great, but I will say, those mounting clips confused me for a bit. It seems obvious now, but you want to gently pull the clips onto the radiator so that they clip in place. For whatever reason, I thought they would just sort of sit there on the cooler itself and that I had to push them down into the cooler... To be fair I was uh... Dumb. In any case, works great and I highly recommend getting another one of these fans to create a push/pull system.

Greater than one weekI was in the market for a replacement for my Intel i9-9900s stock heatsink fan. I wanted something that would not only outperform the stock HSF, but do it at much lower noise levels. Several days of research later I decided on this product, the NH-U12S. If youre most interested in the end of the story, yes, not only is it whisper quiet, I also realized a 15°C decrease in temperatures over the stock Intel HSF with my rendering workloads.

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. |
