Noctua NH-U12S, 120 mm CPU Cooler, Brown

The Noctua NH-U12S is a single-tower CPU cooling solution designed for efficient heat dissipation and broad system compatibility. The heatsink utilizes five 6 mm copper heat pipes and a nickel-plated base, which transfers thermal energy directly into the dense aluminum fin stack. This construction aims to provide stable processor cooling performance, handling thermal loads up to 165W TDP. The cooler maintains a slim 125 mm width and 71 mm depth profile, specifically designed to prevent overhang and ensure full clearance for tall RAM modules on most standard motherboards.

Heat removal is performed by a single 120 mm NF-F12 PWM fan integrated with an SSO2 bearing, supporting a maximum rotational speed of 1500 RPM. This fan configuration delivers up to 93.4 m³/h of airflow and a static pressure of 2.61 mmH₂O. Operational noise is contained between 18.6 dB and 22.4 dB, making it suitable for noise-sensitive computing environments. The cooler includes the multi-socket SecuFirm2 mounting system, supporting simplified installation across current mainstream Intel LGA and AMD AM platforms.
