    Works great out of the box. A second fan is optional and isnt needed unless you are pushing your cpu really hard. 4700K at 4.2 with the single fan and it keeps idle temp the same as my internal temp. Load temps around 58-62.

    this thing is huge but OH BOY does it run quite and cools you cpu down like no other!!!

    I wanted a water cooler believing that they would provide the best cooling while being quiet. Reviewers at Tech sites dont come back a year later and tell you about the issues like leaking and how they didnt wait for an hour for the water in the cooler to get hot before running their spec test. You will find this if you hunt hard enough. IF you spend over 1K or 2K on a rig and they time to assemble you dont want it to be damaged in 6 months to a year. So I did my research on the best air coolers. This is the best or the second best depending on what you are looking for. I choose this because of the engineering they put into their work and the pride they take. I AM SO HAPPY I choose them. Unit is quiet, and keeps my CPU cool even when gaming. I plan on buying their fans to replace my OEM case fans because their new design is so efficient.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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.

Having 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.
