> 24 hourExactly what I needed as I moved from second water cooling failure. Very quiet and seems to cool well. FYI - Ensure this will fit your case and there are multiple versions. May get one for main computer.

> 24 hourSuper quiet, can hardly hear its on, and the temps are good on my HexCore 3.4Ghz setup. It also has room for another fan with vibe dampeners.

> 24 hourOMG! I had to look to make sure the fan was actually running after installing the Noctua cooler. After YEARS of thinking my computer was haunted using the stock cooler and having to endure the constant woooo, WooOOOoooo, WOOOOOOO, I have the sound I wanted. nothing! The stock cooler did a good job keeping the CPU temps down but the sounds of waking up in a haunted house at 3am had to go!

> 24 hourPurchased this for my 4790k CPU and couldnt be happier. I actually replaced a more expensive Corsair H100i with this and my temps are cooler and my PC is now SILENT! I also replaced the brown/tan Noctua fan with an all black Linus Tech Tips edition Noctua 120mm fan, but the included fan works just as good. Great job Noctua and thanks Linus for getting Noctua to make these fans in black!

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. |
