Noctua NH-U12S redux High Performance CPU Cooler

True to the spirit of Noctua’s redux line, the NH-U12S redux is a streamlined, accessibly priced version of the iconic... moreNH-U12S that has established itself as a benchmark for slim, highly compatible 120mm CPU coolers. The redux version uses the same proven heatsink layout that guarantees 100% compatibility with tall RAM modules as well as excellent case and PCIe compatibility. Thanks to the popular NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fan with automatic speed control, it provides high performance under load and runs whisper-quiet at idle. At the same time, Noctua’s renowned, professional SecuFirm2™ mounting system and the pre-applied NT-H1 thermal compound make installation child’s play. Backed up with Noctua’s trusted 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-U12S redux is a smart, affordable choice for a quiet, high-quality 120mm cooler.

Noctua NA-FK1 computer cooling system Processor Fan 12 cm

The NA-FK1 is a second fan kit for the NH-U12S redux CPU cooler. Upgrading it to a push/pull-style dual-fan setup makes it po... moressible to further improve cooling performance or to reduce noise levels by having two fans running at lower speeds. The kit includes a second NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fan. anti-vibration pads. fan mounting clips. a 4-pin PWM y-cable as well as two Low-Noise Adaptors - everything you need to boost the efficiency of your NH-U12S redux!Enhanced cooling performanceAdding a second NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fan to the NH-U12S redux makes it possible to further improve cooling performance by around 1-3°C. depending on the application. As a rule of thumb. the gains are bigger the higher the heat load. so the NA-FK1 is particularly attractive for higher-end CPUs. extensive turbo use or overclocking.Lower noise levels and acoustic fine-tuningThe NA-FK1 can not only be used to enhance cooling performance. but also to lower noise levels: by letting both fans run at reduced speeds. either via automatic PWM control using the supplied y-cable or via the included Low-Noise Adaptors. the NH-U12S redux can operate more quietly while maintaining the same level of performance.NF-P12 redux-1700 PWMThe NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fan included with the NA-FK1 is the same high-quality unit that comes pre-installed on the NH-U12S redux CPU cooler. so it's a perfect match for a push/pull-style dual-fan setup. Supporting PWM for automatic speed control. it can run near silent most of the time and provide massive performance when necessary.

Backed up with Noctua's trusted 6-year manufacturer's warranty. the NH-U12S redux is a smart. affordable choice for a quiet. high-quality 120mm cooler. Based on the award-winning NH-U12S The NH-U12S redux is based on Noctua's proven. premium-grade NH-U12S. which is widely recognised as one of the best slim 120mm single-tower coolers on the market. Having received more than 200 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines. the NH-U12S has convinced tens of thousands of customers around the globe. Streamlined redux edition Following the idea of Noctua's redux line. the NH-U12S redux takes the proven concept of the original NH-U12S and reduces it to its essential core: a quiet. quality-made 120mm cooler with streamlined accessories that is highly compatible and easy to install. Classic 120mm tower size for excellent case and PCIe compatibility Standing 158mm tall. the NH-U12S redux 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. 100% RAM compatibility Thanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth. the NH-U12S redux will not overhang the RAM slots on any current platform. This gives the user full access to the memory modules and guarantees 100% compatibility with modules that feature tall heat-spreaders or RGB lighting. Proven NF-P12 fan with PWM Specifically designed for pressure-demanding applications such as on heatsinks. the classic NF-P12 is a long-standing favourite among quiet cooling enthusiasts. The higher-speed 1700rpm redux line version supports PWM for automatic speed control. which allows it to run near silent most of the time and provide massive performance when necessary. Optional dual-fan kit The optional NA-FK1 fan kit makes it possible to upgrade the NH-U12S redux with a second fan in order to achieve even better performance. Containing a second NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fan. fan clips. anti-vibration pads. a y-cable and Low-Noise Adaptors. it gives plenty of options to fine-tune the cooler for further improved efficiency or quietness of operation. Precision-machined copper base for optimal contact and heat

Smart Savings

Noctua NH-U12S redux is a slightly simplified and at the same time much cheaper modification of the Austrian cooler NH-U12S chromax.black. The novelty has lost its black colour, mounting brackets for the second fan and a tube of thermal paste. However, the default thermal interface is applied to the sole of the cooler.

Heat distribution

The number of heat pipes has also decreased — from five to four. However due to the use of an intermediary plate that distributes heat evenly over all tubes, the loss is not felt much. Proxy plate coolers are best suited for CPUs with multiple chips (chiplets) under a thermal cover, like Ryzen 5.

stabilizes itself

The height of the Noctua NH-U12S redux is almost 16 cm, and the weight of the heatsink together with the fan is approximately 750 g. chromax.black. Therefore, it starts not from silent 300 rpm, but from 450, which is still very quiet.

Useful addition

If desired, Noctua NH-U12S redux can be upgraded with a second fan. For this, the NA-FK1 upgrade kit is designed, which, in addition to the 12-cm turntable, includes mounting brackets, rubber vibration-absorbing pads, a splitter for connecting two turntables and a pair of speed-lowering resistors.
