    I get the same temps with the NH-U12S as I do with the NH-D14 on my Intel Core-i970...and its much smaller and easier to install. Noctuas quality is superb, the hex they provide you with is ALL you need for the entire operation (including MB removal for mounting bracket). Fan color scheme is ...all Noctua classic :)...it could be better, but its Nocuta original...

    Ayant déjà fait lachat de ce modèle pour ma tour, il était naturel que je la recommande pour le montage de celle dun ami. Au niveau du packaging, que ce soit au niveau dAmazon ou de Noctua, tout était bien bloqué.

    Comprato per sostituire il dissipatore di serie intel (i7) montato sulla mobo oltre 7 anni fà. A pieno carico ora non supero i 55 gradi, prima ero costretto a tenere il case aperto e comunque raggiungevo temperature da infarto (mi è capitato di leggere 90ºc)

    montaggio perfetto, tutte le istruzioni erano chiarissime e semplicissime da seguire, la mia cpu non supera i 30 gradi in idle e sotto sforzo non credo sia ancora andata oltre i 50.. il silenzio poi.. non si sente un singolo decibel di rumore uscire dal case, se continuano a fare dissipatori di questo livello non credo sarà necessario passare al liquido! noctua FTW

    Costosetto sì, ma ha un packaging eccellente, una ventola in dotazione che è tra le migliori (se non LA migliore) della sua categoria e un sistema di montaggio perfetto.

    Superb CPU cooler, should also be compatible with most motherboards and not block off RAM or PCIe slots.

    A la fois silencieux et très performant pour le refroidissement même en overclock sur un i7.

    Ive built many pcs and I always replace the stock heatsink fan with a quieter one. This one is not only super quiet, it also does an excellent job of cooling my 125 watt AMD FX 8350 processor. I did purchase a 2nd Noctua fan to go with it along with replacing my pc case fans with Noctua fans as well. An extra plus is that Noctua gives very clear, step by step, instructions (leaving nothing for chance). It also came with Noctuas proprietary heatsink thermal paste which was extremely easy to apply and work with. I need to mention that one of the reasons it is super quiet is that it is designed to allow the motherboard to adjust the fan speed. When I use the bios to set the fan speed to standard its super quiet and when I set the fan speed to silent I hear nothing. Since the cpu temp rarely goes above 40 C when set to silent, thats where Ive been keeping it.

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.

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.
