Today, I took a look at the Noctua NH-U12S. This is their premium 120mm, single tower heatsink design. The Series has the highest compatibility and the clearance from RAM with just 45mm depth to them. It is bundled with the NF-F12 Focused Flow fan to provide the utmost cooling performance at silent levels. Quiet operation and excellent thermal performance are what I was expecting from this cooler. How did it perform? Let's see.
