> 3 dayIve gone between different coolers over the past few years. Ive stuck with many AIOs and still find Noctua coolers to be just plain awesome! This version was rather easy to install. Packaging was great as always, and of course the added bonus of some great TIM.

> 3 dayI wanted something quieter and more efficient than the stock Wraith Stealth cooler that came in the box with my AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU. I considered all available air coolers. I read a lot of reviews before making my final decision and the Noctua NH-U12S was my first choice. This CPU cooler is one of the best out there. I installed a second Noctua NF-F12 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan on it using the extra mounting clips which came in the box with this cooler and my CPU runs very cool and quiet! Dont hesitate if you need a very good air cooler. The Noctua NH-U12S is the best available choice and it will not break your budget.

> 3 dayLittle noise and the noise you do hear is actually nice to listen to unlike many other coolers. I like my builds quiet and to look nice. Noctua always can provide that for both

Greater than one weekInstalled this on my brand new 5600X. Immediate drop of 18 degrees Celsius from stock cooler on idle. The stock wraith cooler works but has a weird buzz. After installing this My pc is nearly silent. Extremely happy to upgrade and a great price. I do some mild overclocking and this cooler doesnt miss a beat. I have had Noctua products before and this lives up to expectations I have come to expect from this brand.

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. |
