- Model: NH-U12S
NH-U12S
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
guarantees 100% compatibility with tall RAM modules and at the same time, its
fine-tuned design and the class-leading NF-F12 Focused Flow™
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,
Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal
compound and full 6 years manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-U12S is a
complete premium quality solution that combines outstanding performance, quiet
operation and excellent compatibility
Award-winning NH-U12 series
The NH-U12S is the latest version of Noctua's award-winning
NH-U12 coolers. First introduced in 2005, the NH-U series has become a standard
choice for premium quality quiet CPU coolers and won more than 400 awards and
recommendations from leading international hardware websites and magazines.
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
guarantees 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans.
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 most standard ATX or
Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups.
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.
PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor
The NF-F12 120mm
fan supplied with the NH-U12S supports
PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard. In
addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200rpm using the
supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation.
Anti-vibration pads and fan-clips for second NF-F12 (optional)
For users who want to achieve even better performance by
adding a second, optional NF-F12 fan
to create a push/pull setup, the NH-U12S includes fan clips and an extra set of
custom-designed anti-vibration pads that allow to off-set the rear fan by 5mm
to improve acoustics in dual-fan mode
SecuFirm2™ mounting system
Noctua’s SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous
with quality, safety and easy installation. Supporting Intel LGA2066, LGA2011-0
& LGA2011-3 (Square ILM), LGA1200,
LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151, LGA1150 as well as AMD (AM4 (since
2019), AM3(+), AM2(+), FM1, FM2(+)), the SecuFirm2™ mounting included with
the NH-U12S is straightforward to install, provides perfect contact pressure
and will stand the test of time even under heavy use.
Compatibility with past and future sockets
Complying with the open SecuFirm™ standard, the NH-U12S can be made
compatible with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting
kit, which is provided by Noctua free of charge. If technically possible,
Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets.
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.
6-year manufacturer’s warranty
Noctua products are renowned for their impeccable quality
and outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-F12 features an MTTF
rating of more than 150.000 hours and the entire NH-U12S package comes with a
full 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
