    Great thin cooler, it does keep my Intel i5 under 50C when doing stress test over an hour with ~30% fan speed.

    For some reason. I tried to install this on the mounting brackets that were correctly screwed into my motherboard. I tried for 2.5 hours but I could not for the life of me get the mounting screws on either side of the cooler to thread properly with their mounting slots on the mounting brackets so I gave up and went with the AMD stock cooler instead. Very disappointed in this product.

    Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Noctua NH-U12S. Ich habe einen Intel Core i7-9700KF Prozessor - also habe ich einen zweiten NF-F12 120mm Lüfter auf der Rückseite hinzugefügt. Die Temperatur beträgt 30-35 Grad. Die Spiele sind 40-45 Grad. Gewicht 580 g plus zweiter Lüfter. Meine Meinung ist die beste bis zu 200 TDP. Fast unhörbar bei der Arbeit. Ich rate allen.

    Ho abbassato mediamente 12/15 gradi sul mio R5 3600 rispetto al dissi stock. Era il primo dissi che montavo e devo dire che è stato proprio semplice, corredato da ottime istruzioni e anche da pasta termica. Prodotto TOP

    By far the most efficient air cooler I’ve owned. Six months in and keeping my R5 2600 at 24.3 degrees at idle, never gets above 50 under heaving gaming in AAA titles at 2k/144 fps with a 2070s GPU, and that’s jn an H510 case from NZXT! Performance may even be better in a more thermal friendly case. Considering my build is on a micro ATX build, mileage may vary on the installation difficulty.

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.

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.
