NH-U12F HSF - Features
The NH-U12F is the newest version of the NH-U12, which won over 100 awards and recommendations from leading international web
sites and magazines. The NH-U12F can be rotated by 90° on all sockets, boasts full compatibility with AMD's new AM2 socket and
comes equipped with a Noctua NF-S12 120mm fan, which has a minimum noise rating of only 8dB(A). Thanks to the 4 Dual-Heat-Pipes,
38 aluminum cooling fins with a total surface area of more than 5000cm² and soldered joints for optimal heat-transfer, the Noctua
NH-U12F achieves superior cooling performance at minimum noise levels.
4 Dual-Heat pipes for optimal heat absorption
The 4 u-shaped Dual-Heat-Pipes have a huge contact area with the copper base to efficiently absorb the CPU's heat. They form 8
risers to spread the heat throughout the fins.
38 aluminum cooling fins for optimal heat dissipation
Thanks to a surface area of more than 5000cm², the cooling fins dissipate the heat extremely fast. Both the choice of aluminum
and the fins' shape and spacing allow for outstanding cooling performance with the supplied ultra silent NF-S12-1200 fan.
Soldered joints for optimal heat-transfer
Unlike many other coolers, whose heat-pipes are stuck to the base and the fins, the Noctua NH-U12F possesses high-grade soldered
joints to ensure optimal heat transfer.
Noctua NF-S12-1200 fan with Ultra-Low-Noise adapter
Thanks to the sound-optimized blade geometry of the Noctua Straight-Blade-Design and the self-stabilizing oil-pressure bearing
(SSO bearing), the NF-S12-1200 achieves a flow rate of 81m³/h at a noise rating of only 17dB(A). Using the supplied
Ultra-Low-Noise adapter, the noise level can be lowered to only 8dB(A)!
Screw less fan-mount including anti-vibration strips
Attaching the fan with the steel clips is a child's play and doesn't even require a screwdriver. The supplied anti-vibration
strips minimize vibrations transmitted to the cooler and hence allows for extra quietness.
Easy installation on socket LGA 775, K8 (754, 939, 940) & AM2
The NH-U12F fits Intel's socket LGA 775 as well as AMD's K8 (754, 939, 940) and AM2. Thanks to the detailed step-by-step
installation guide, installation only takes a few minutes!
SecuFirm™ mounting system
The SecuFirm™ mounting system guarantees optimal contact pressure and maximum security thanks to the use of a backplate and
spring-loaded screws. As a result, the SecuFirm™ mounting system makes it possible to safely transport the assembled system
without any risk even though the cooler exceeds the 450g weight specification established by Intel and AMD. Perfect for LAN
gamers!
Can be rotated by 90° for improved compatibility and optimal positioning within the case
The NH-U12F can be installed rotated by 90° on all compatible sockets to allow for an optimal positioning of the cooler within the
airflow inside the case and to evade compatibility issues.
Including manual, thermal paste and mounting hardware
In addition to the mounting hardware, the manual and the NF-S12-1200 fan, the package contains a syringe of high-grade thermal
paste so that you can get started right away!

NF-S12 Series - Features
Sound-optimized blade geometry and profile: The NF-S12 is the first fan employing a novel rotor which was developed by the
Austrian Institute for Heat-Transmission and Fan Technology (Österreichisches Institut für Wärmeübertragung und
Ventilatorentechnik, ÖIWV). Thanks to the special optimization of the blade geometry towards ultra low noise application, the
NF-S12 is up to 10% more quiet than current high-end fans at the same flow rate.
Self-stabilizing oil-pressure bearing (SSO bearing): The NF-S12 series are equipped with a magnetically centered, self lubricating
oil-pressure bearing that provides a new level of quietness and long-term stability.
