    Highest rating from all of the tech reviewers online. You get what you pay for. All components are replaceable and readily available should they fail. Highly recommend this cooler for quality and performance. In my opinion, Noctua is the best product currently available for air cooling.

    For those of us in the know, brown and tan is the color of performance. Why would you want it to be anything else?

    My Ryzen 5 2600 is sitting at 4.2 Ghz and barely over 65C on load. Most games run at about 60C. The mount might be a bit of a pain for some people but its pretty straight forward.

    Easily the best 120mm tower fan cooler out their. Easy installation for the experienced, very high quality, dead silent even at moderate speeds, and has provisions for an additional fan. Does not interfere with ram at all on pretty much any standard motherboard. This is as big as I will go for air cooling, as it weighs over 800 grams which is more than the recommended amount by AMD and Intel socket retention systems. Anything more can stress the board and moving the computer with larger tower coolers is a big no-no (even Noctua acknowledges this). Has tons of headroom for my overclocked Ryzen 2600. Unless you are doing some extreme overclocking on the higher-end chips, you dont need anything more.

    The 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.

    I ended up just installing the wraithcooler that came with the Ryzen 3 3600 I bought, This is by far the most tedious product I have ever worked with. The design in poor in my opinion, It forces you to take of the fan to mount it (I dont know when they would have just engineered it so those thumb screws arent underneath the fan. Once you get that fan off the IT WONT go back on, Those junk metal clips it gives you only bend when you dont want them to. NEVER AGAIN, This was $60 wasted for Im about to just throw it in the trash. PS My father gifted me this for an early birthday present because I hate stock coolers but this is complete trash. Also I spent 40 minutes trying to make it go on.

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.

NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fan

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.

NT-H1 thermal compound

Having 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.
