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.

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.

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.
