Noctua is one of the well-known names in the silent and high-end cooling sector, particularly renowned for its CPU coolers, which enjoy an excellent reputation. These coolers combine outstanding build quality with high cooling performance and minimal noise levels. The self-developed fans from Noctua play a crucial role in this, and they are also available separately to serve as case, CPU, or radiator fans.

The NH-U12S is the latest 12 cm single-tower CPU cooler in Noctua's classic U-series, which has received over 400 awards and recommendations from international specialist publications. The 45 mm slim design of the S-version not only guarantees 100% compatibility with tall RAM modules but also enables an even further optimized design in conjunction with the fully automatic PWM-controlled NF-F12 FocusedFlow fan, resulting in improved silent cooling performance compared to its predecessor.
