> 3 dayThe Noctua NH-U12 S is everything that you read on line about the product. From the packaging to the solid well made parts you will not go wrong buying this line of coolers. They are so quiet I have to look down to make sure my computer is still on. Well worth the extra money for the quality and performance it delivers.

> 3 dayCela ne sert a rien.. de commenter un tel produit ! impossible démettre une critique tellement Noctua fabrique de la qualité. Combiné a un i7 8700, il sera largement suffisant pour du jeu tout en étant silencieux. A acheter les yeux fermés.

> 3 dayVery quiet as they said it would be. Excellent quality parts, no problem so far. Running i7-4970k at 120% with temps still in the 70c range. Thinking about getting just the fan to replace some of the case fans, as they are of much better construction than any case or cpu fan I have ever owned. Very happy with choice.

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. |
