Abstract: Keeping your processor cool is essential when it comes to keeping your system running smoothly, after all everyone knows what happens when your system overheats: it shuts down or it fries the CPU. Coolers come in many different shapes, sizes, colors and t...
Abstract: The Noctua NH-U12S heatsink is built around five 6mm diameter copper heatpipes and a 108mm tall aluminum fin stack. Where the heatsink interfaces with the processor, we find a beautifully machined nickel plated copper heat spreader. ...
Noctua engineering, Highlevel engineering, Noise/Performance ratio beats anything out there, Premium technologies incrementally add up to great performance, Great performance in a standard 120mm cooler package
Other manufacturers have developed better fan mounting systems, Lives in the shadow of the larger NHU14S…, …I still can't get over the color scheme…
Noctua does it again. I received the NH-U12S alongside its bigger brother, the 140mm NH-U14S. While the larger fans of the NH-U14S were obviously quieter due to their larger diameter (and lower RPMs), the 120mm NH-U12S wasn't too far behind. Designed to f...

Abstract: Noctua keeps rolling along with their high end coolers designed to tame the heat of today's modern processors. In this review we will be taking a look at two of their new heatpipe tower coolers, the NH-U12S and the NH-U14S. As you might be able to figure out these coolers feature a 12cm and 14cm fan, respectively, and are the latest in their award winning U-series of coolers. The coolers themselves implement U-shaped heatpipes within a compact array of fins intended to provide broad compatibility with a variety of systems, especially when it comes to avoiding interference with system memory...
The first thing we should go over to frame a conclusion is pricing. The Noctua NH-U12S will run you $69.99 shipped at Newegg . That does sound like a high-ish price for a heatsink until you consider the fact that it comes with a NF-F12 fan worth $24.99 ...

Abstract: Noctua NH-U12S Unpacking We start off with the little sibbling of the new S aka Slim series. The NH-U12S is based on a classic single U shaped tower design. Being only 45mm in depth it maximizes compatibility even when filling up all the DIMM slots wit...
