> 3 dayWell this CPU cooler for me is just the best! I cannot recommend it enough! The reason is because Ive chosen before this a liquid cooling which was corsair h80i which as a few other said it, the pump can start playing up after 3 months which is exactly what happened to me too! All of a sudden my pump on corsair started doing some funny noises and the temperatures jump in idle from 40 celsius to over 70 nearly to 80 which is a lot!!! So after reading some reviews online I found out that you cannot do much about the pump or its speed as this is apparently the cause of this noise and its poor performance!!!! So I decided to buy this amazing cooler which performs a lot better than the corsair h80i even under load test!!! Where the corsair h80i was keeping my CPU at @ 65 to 70 celsius under full load this keeps it at @ 52 to 53 celsius which is far mor better plus that this has no parts that can go wrong at any time!!! Plus the very well building feel and look of this cooler is just outstanding!

> 3 dayThe absolute best. This entire product is quality. Noctua makes by far the best heatsinks. Their mounting bracket is the best in the business and is super easy to install yet has an excellent mounting pressure. Their fans are the longest lasting and yet the most quiet in the business as well. This air cooler is standard-sized, yet fits high-profile RAM and even outperforms some water coolers and of course is much quieter than basically all water coolers.
The NH-U12S is the latest 12cm model of Noctua’s classic U-series single tower CPU coolers, which have received more than 400 awards and recommendations from the international press. The S-version’s 45mm slim shape ensures 100% compatibility with tall RAM modules and at the same time, its fine-tuned design and the class-leading NF-F12 FocusedFlow fan with PWM support for fully automatic speed control allow it to further improve its predecessor’s renowned quiet cooling performance. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12S is a complete premium quality solution that combines outstanding performance, quiet operation and excellent compatibility.

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. |
