15-11-2024Absolutely amazing. I bought a 5600x recently and the wraith stealth was just not cutting it for me. While I still need more case fans, this cooler brought my temps down almost by 20c. Idle around 30 and 60 under load. As a first time build the install was super easy and couldn’t be more impressed. Install was great and easy but try installing it before you put the mobo in the case. I did not but it still was really smooth

> 3 dayHaving owned similar items before i can say the quality of the Noctua far surpasses the others Ive owned. First the fans are very quiet and Noctua has a well earned reputation for quality so I have faith in their reliability. Second the mounting system for the heat sink, I have never seen a more well thought out, simple to use mounting system before, why all other manufacturers dont imitate Noctuas system is a mystery to me. Cant recommend this item enough.

> 3 dayI like this unit, it is high quality, and uses standard size fans. It fit my case perfect. The mounting is better than the Zalman it replaced.

> 3 dayProduct description suggested that the 1700 brackets would be included in the box, but its actually another 8 bucks as of March 2022. Im guessing I got old stock or something.

Greater than one weekIve heard Noctua coolers had a reputation for being very high quality and bought this one for that very reason. A bit pricy, so easy to install and it hasnt made a sound since.

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. |
