Needed a replacement for the stock Intel as i find the buzzing it makes at around 70C distracting.
After a day researching it seems this make was the Rolls Royce of fans. I was thinking do i really need such a fan, i dont even overclock, but in the end i got it and havent regretted it.

I laughed at the size of the fan when i unboxed it. I handed it to my dad who thought it was a radiator for a motorbike lol. I have a full sized case and the side cover goes on with about 1-2mm spare.

I was very surprised with the amount of stuff that comes with the fan.

-AMD and two Intel mounting kits (intel 2011 and 1155/6)
-Screw driver
-Thermal paste
-2nd fan installation kit + instruction on how to install the bigger 14" fans.
-Low noise adaptor (though i dont know why, its dead silent with out it)
-Thick metal Noctua badge to go on the PC case

Installed it without to much effort. Had to remove the motherboard even though the case has a gap at the back specifically so you dont have to. It was 1mm to small...

I'v never heard it operating so far, its completely silent. Highest temp its gone is 60C with was playing battlefield 3, even then the fan was pretty much idealing.

Strongly recommended item if ur looking for a silent rig. Only thing i didn't like is the colour... Its sorta their trade mark now, but maybe time to update? lol.

This is a top notch product, installed into a averagely noisy computer and has made it virtually silent (you obviously still get the noise of air passing through the fan), I am now sat in front of my TV writing this review in complete silence (computer in cabinet under TV) which is bliss after the high pitched whine of the AMD stock cooler.

Running a video programme with stock cooler (Came with FX 8350 8-core 4.0 GHz CPU) had these readings
Speccy 63c
Asus Fan Xpert 71c @ 100% fan speed (also had Temp and Voltage alerts)

With Noctua NH-U12S
Speccy 43c
Asus Fan Xpert 57c @ 87% fan speed

No discernible noise where as the stock cooler at this point sounded like Concord taking off lol

Even my graphics card (non fan type) is running cooler, I am so happy with this CPU Cooler, can honestly say it is one of the few things I have ever purchased and been 100% happy with it.

Seems stupid to say it now, but I didn't buy this product right off the bat because, well, I didn't like the way it looked ~ kinda retro. So I fooled around with a couple of Corsair liquid cooling systems. What a big mistake that was ~ parts that didn't fit, software that was buggy and in the end a fan controller that decided to go AWOL and leave the fans screaming at maximum all the time. How much simpler was to install and how well made, if a little quirky, is this Noctua unit... but oh, how much quieter. Not only that but it dutifully takes its orders from the Asus Fan Expert 2 software without a murmur. And speaking of murmurs, as I write this I literally can't hear it running to the point I just had to go check if it was still working. It looks like an awesome piece of kit and it comes with a six year warranty ~ you can't beat that. Do yourself a favour ~ get one. They're the Rolls Royce of the computer fan industry, sturdy, well made, and do what they are supposed to. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase.

The Noctua NH-U12S is a brilliant cooler for modern CPU, along with High Profile ram. The compatibility is guaranteed, and I can confirm that with my Corsair Vengeance I don't have any problem.
The temperature of my i7-4770k is incredibly low, about 25° in idle. The fan is absolutely silent, and I'm using it without the included adaptor that reduces the maximum fan speed to get less noise.
It's not cheap, but you pay for the quality, and Noctua is probably the best out here about CPU coolers.

It's a good cooler, absolutely no question.

Mine is silent under low load but noisy if you manually push fans to max. Disappointed in that considering pro-reviews, and user reviews. While I never see a CPU pushing this to max under extended load, occasionally opening apps cause an audible whirr. There are rubber strips that I think attach to the heatsink that are meant to dampen virations. Presumably that reduces noise.

Those rubber strips installed though I feel will marginally impede on 100% RAM compatibility, for high-profile RAM. It is however so small overhang RAM would install and sit easy, at only the tiniest angle off upright 90'. However I think my board has the smallest space between CPU socket and RAM slots. The spacing is smaller than I have seen on any other board. It's also a new model board so may not have been seen by Noctua.

The build quality is fine. However I feel it is overstated in pro-reviews. I think It's just normal good quality. I replaced an Arctic Freezer 7 pro with this, and both coolers are nicely built. The Noctua is cooler and that's why I bought it. I wanted a cooler that would cool my CPU under full load with case fans on minimum, just to be safe. The Freezer 7 Pro was doing OK at max seen 67'C, but I wanted to be sure.
