> 24 hourAs many have said, this is an extremely quiet and effective CPU fan. Its not going to win any beauty contests as it has none of the cool lighting that it seems all components must have these days. These folks have been doing this for quite awhile so why change what has worked so well? Highly recommended.

> 24 hourIm pasting this review from my website but you will have to go to my website in order to see the benchmark results because I cannot put pictures in Amazon reviews. I posted the link in the comments because Amazon doesnt allow URLs in reviews.

> 24 hourNew build - New Intel i-5 Chip - need good chip fan. I have built many computers and this is about the best fan I have ever used. Mounting is slightly different but the instructions are clear. Fan has been running for a year now - strong and quiet. Very Pleased.

> 24 hourVery good, my i7 4770k (not yet overclocked) now idles at about 25-30C and hits 50-55C under load. I was at around 95C under load with the stock cooler. One of the more expensive coolers but it looks nice, performs well and is extremely quiet. Very easy to install.

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. |
