Cool and quiet

Paul Goodway

January 2022

I've had people tell me that this is the best aircooler around and they're not wrong. There are parts in the box for many different sockets and it's really incredibly easy to install. The instructions are super clear to understand even for someone like me who has only ever built one PC before. Everything just clicked and screwed together the way that it should. I was a little bit worried about how much thermal paste to use, but the amounts suggested by the instructions worked perfectly for my CPU. The fan comes with a low noise adaptor that will limit the rpm and make it even quieter - but honestly at the moment it's not needed. It's so quiet under normal operations that I don't notice it at all. The thermals on my new PC are brilliant and even under heavy load it doesn't get very hot at all. A friend is going to build a PC soon and I've told him to get a NH-U12 for his rig - honestly can't praise it enough.

Obviously a major upgrade from the stock cooler. The fans are very quiet at idle as expected for this brand. The second fan to use this as a push-pull configuration is a good upgrade, a package including this would be nice.

I haven't installed a CPU cooler in a number of years but this was very easy to do. Great build quality and instructions were clear to understand.

Great price and the fan is perfect for my new PC build; I can barely hear the fan going even when gaming, massive improvement on my previous CPU fan that sounded like a jet engine!

Solid, well made, amd and intel adaptor kits, thermal paste and clear instructions included. Honestly I can't find any faults. My gaming cpu is chilling at 40 50 degrees Celsius so Noctua well done. Top quality!

This cooler works very well: it's easy to install, it's very quiet, and the temperatures are very good.
