Cooler Noctua NH-U12S

High performance tower air cooler for cooling a wide range of Intel/AMD Mainstream, Performance and High-End Desktop processors (Intel only). It is a somewhat simplified and much more affordable version of the popular Noctua NH-U14S cooler, which differs from it by a reduced number of heat pipes (5 versus 6), as well as a more compact single-section heatsink. The Noctua NH-U12S CPU Cooler can dissipate up to 140W of heat to cool a wide range of Intel/AMD Mainstream, Performance and High-End Desktop processors.

The manufacturer guarantees compatibility with motherboards equipped with an LGA115X/2011/2011-v3/2066 connector. It is also installed on AMD AM4/AM3(+)/AM2(+)/FM2/FM1 platforms (the AM4 mount has been equipped since January 2019). The superbly balanced 120mm Noctua NF-F12 PWM fan with an optimized seven-blade impeller deserves a high positive assessment. Thanks to PWM control, its rotational speed can be changed from 300 to 1500 rpm, and the proprietary SSO2 bearing with magnetic stabilization ensures durability and impressively low noise level (up to 22.4 dB). Due to its moderate size (height 158 mm) and light weight of 755 g, the cooler is compatible with most full-size MiniTower/MiddleTower cases.

	Noctua Noctua NH-U12S Ultra-Quiet Slim CPU Cooler with NF-F12 Fan Award-winning tower series The NH-U12S and U14S are the latest version of Noctua's award-winning NH-U12 coolers. First introd... moreuced in 2005, the NH-U series has become a standard choice for premium quality quiet CPU coolers and has 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 coolers 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. PLEASE NOTE: Some AMD mainboards violate the 96x114mm keep-out zone specified by AMD, so the NH-U12S can only be used with RAM modules of up to 40mm height on these boards. Please consult the compatibility list for details. Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility Standing 158mm tall (U12S) and 165mm tall (U14S) the coolers are short enough to fit most modern mid-end or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the coolers stay clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring best compatibility with SLI and CrossFire setups. Premium quality fans Recommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts world-wide, the Noctua’s premium quality fans are renowned to combine superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation. The NH-U12S is supplied with the NF-F12 Focused Flow fan while the NH-U14S has the NF-A15 fan. PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor Both fans supplied with the coolers support PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the mainboard. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation. Anti-vibration pads and fan-clips for second fan (optional) For users who want to achieve even better performance by adding a second optional NF-F12 and NF-A15, fans are available to create a push/pull setup. The coolers include 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 ease of use. Supporting Intel LGA 1200, LGA 1700, LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA2011, LGA2066 and AMD (AM3+, AM2+, FM1, FM2), the SecuFirm2 mounting included with the coolers guarantees perfect contact pressure and maximum convenience on all current sockets. Compatibility with past and future sockets Complying with the open SecuFirm standard, the coolers 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 Overclockers.co.uk Delivery: to United Kingdom Report	£74.99 Buy in shop
