> 24 hourIt is better in both cooling and noise than the AMD Wraith. Down side is I should have just bought the 2 fan version since to get the temp below the Wraith it needed the other fan.

> 24 hourI want us bloom this is the best fan that I can get pretty much it’s extremely quiet comes with very good sound dissipator‘s I have it on her duel fan mode right now that’s why I bought the single fan by itself the air induction cooler only came with one and I wanted a really quiet CPU cooler for one the game start playing and it heats up highly recommend it for all things PC But especially your processor unless you got liquid cooling I don’t see anything that compares right now that I’ve used good quality performance and long lasting life. Just built really well so you can take my word for it or not but you’ll see the rest of the reviews pretty much said the same

> 24 hourExcellent ventirad, super refroidissement de CPU 65W & 95W. Le ventilateur monte à peine en régime, même à forte charge. Redoutablement silencieux et efficace. Testé avec un AMD R5-2600X (95W) et un Intel i7-8700 (65W).

> 24 hourThe noise level is quiet, the cooling is excellent, and installation was simple in comparison to other fans. I own a Gigabyte Gaming 3 with a Ryzen 5 CPU along with Corsair Vengeance RAMs. The fan installed completely fine in a NZXT S340 without any issues.

> 24 hourIve had this CPU cooler for 11 months now and I am very happy with it. It is absolutely silent, unless I open the case and put my ear close to it. It keeps my Ryzen 7 2700 at 29-31 degrees Celsius at idle and at about 38-42 degrees when playing high demanding games. Great product!

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. |
