Noctua NH-U12S CPU Cooler Features
![Award-Winning NH-U Series.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-1.jpg)
The NH-U12S is the latest version of Noctua’s award-winning NH-U12 coolers. First introduced in 2005, the NH-U series has become a standard choice for premium quality quiet CPU coolers and won more than 400 awards and recommendations from leading international hardware websites and magazines.
![100% RAM Compatibility.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-2.jpg)
Thanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S 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. (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.)
![Classic 120mm Tower Size.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-3.jpg)
Standing 158mm tall, the NH-U12S 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 standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring best compatibility with SLI and CrossFire setups.
![NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow Fan.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-4.jpg)
Recommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts world-wide, the Noctua's premium quality NF-F12 Focused Flow™ 120mm fan is renowned to combine superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation.
![PMM & Low-Noise Adaptor.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-5.jpg)
The NF-F12 120mm fan supplied with the NH-U12S supports PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the mainboard. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation.
![Dual Fan Ready.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-6.jpg)
For users who want to achieve even better performance by adding a second, optional NF-F12 fan to create a push/pull setup, the NH-U12S includes 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.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-7.jpg)
Noctua's SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety and ease of use. Supporting Intel LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA2066, LGA2011 and AMD (AM3+, AM2+, FM1, FM2, FM2+), the SecuFirm2™ mounting included with the NH-U12S guarantees perfect contact pressure and maximum convenience on all current sockets.
![Socket Compatibility.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-8.jpg)
Complying with the open SecuFirm™ standard, the NH-U12S 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.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-9.jpg)
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua’s NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability.
![6 Years Warranty.](/Assets/images/products/noctua-nh-u12s-specs-10.jpg)
