Due to its slim design, the NH-U12DX i4 now provides easy access to the memory slots and better compatibility with tall modules. Fitted with the professional SecuFirm2 mounting system and bundled with Noctua’s industrial-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12DX i4 forms a complete premium quality package for quietly cooling Xeon based workstations and servers.

This is a GREAT CPU fan if you’re looking for a quiet one I’m using these in our Television editing bay computer builds. Quietness is paramount and these fit the bill. They also shed the heat from the Core i9 9980-XE 18 core CPUs (not overclocked) without a problem.There are two small nits to pick. One is the fact that the cooling tower/fan is LARGE. You need to put it in a large case. I’m using Define R6 cases (also awesome!!!). The other is that you have to pull the fan off the heat exchanger to install so that you can get to two of the…
5 Stars I purchased this as a replacement for a cheaper generic cooler for my Haswell 5820 CPU OC’d to 4.2 GHZ. I do quite a bit of HD video encoding and with all 12 cores at 100% utilization, the core temp never got above 70 C. Now this was just a tad high for my liking, so I backed it down to 4.0 GHZ, and it stays around 67 C. The fan noise is virtually non existent.This is a rather large cooler, and rather than having a horizontal orientation which would most likely cause it to partially…
typical Noctua quality with some minor issues This review is for the Noctua NH-U12DX i4, the 120mm workstation/server version of Noctua’s NH-U__S slim line of heatsinks.

The NH-U12DX i4 comes in the box ready to be mounted to a standard square ILM LGA2011 socket, but has interchangeable brackets provided to fit a narrow ILM LGA2011 socket. The narrow ILM compatibility is why I purchased this product.This product comes in plain brown cardboard box OEM-style packaging, in…
