> 3 dayI was impressed with how high quality this heatsink was and the attention to detail in the packaging. Noctua thinks of everything and includes it in the box. Install was painless with great instructions and operation is extremely quiet.

> 3 dayNoctua, imo, its the leader with the Air Cooling cpu systems. There are - cough cough, be quite!, cough cough - followers, Noctua is the leader. But its got the brown ugly fan! You may say. For me, its what makes the difference! I dont care for RGB stuff and the boring black; the brown fan is why I keep coming back to it.

> 3 daythis causes the bios to think the fan is running too slow, but you can ignore that error safely. Came with the correct hardware to attach to motherboard. Recommend watching the newegg.com videos.

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. |
