    I did not give this unit 5 stars only because I dislike installing items like this on my computer (because of the work involved). My computer is located where it is not easy to access the items inside of it. However, this does not mean that the product itself is responsible for this problem, I am. The product came with all of the items that were necessary to install it on my AMD motherboard. Once I got all the mounting hardware installed, on my motherboard, the cooling unit was easily installed. I like the easy way that the fan mounts to the cooling fins as this makes it easy to remove and reinstall when checking for dust blockages on the cooling fins. I had to remove my previous cooling unit because of temperature problems and then I was then able to see that this was caused by dust blockages. However, I had to remove the unit to see this problem. Unlike this unit, cleaning my previous (liquid) cooling unit was difficult. In addition, a liquid cooling unit always has the possibility of pump failure, which can not be easily diagnosed. This new unit is working fine and keeping my CPU cool. If I need more cooling, I can easily add another fan to this unit.

    Simply put. These fans are worth every penny spent. I started with CPU cooler and now am working on replacing case fans with Noctua fans. Highly recommend them. Very quiet....

    Great heatsink and fan combo. Solid Design. Reduced my CPU temps from the stock intel heatsink and fan by 20 degrees celsius. It is also very quiet. Highly recommended.

    Per essere efficente lo è, però mevlo aspettavo più silenzioso. Non è una vera e propria lamentela, perché comunque rispetto ai dissipatori stock è un altro pianeta, però mi aspettavo quasi un silenzio assoluto.

    The fittings for this are such quality, as is the fan of course. I thought I reviewed this when I got it so have to apologise that Ive only just noticed I didnt.

    Finalmente posso fermare tutte le altre ventole del mio PC ottenendo un PC silenzioso senza il rischio di fondere la cpu. Facile da applicare. Ottimo acquisto, lo raccomando.

    Un peu déçu de ce ventirad de chez Noctua, il refroidit vraiment mal mon i5-7600k OC à 4.7Ghz. Je montait à 85°c en jeu (TESO) et il était vraiment bruyant.

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.
