Overview

Noctua NH-U12S Redux

The Noctua NH-U12S Redux CPU fan is a sleeker version of the NH-U12S, offeringexcellent cooling performance and quiet operation at a very attractive price. The fan is simple and ultra-efficient and will suit all types of PC configurations.

120mm tower format

In keeping with the spirit of Noctua's redux line, the NH-U12S redux is a sleek, attractively priced version of the iconic NH-U12S, which itself has become a benchmark for slim, ultra-compatible 120mm CPU coolers. The redux version incorporates the same type of heatsink to ensure full compatibility with high RAM modules, PCIe slots and cases. Thanks to the renowned NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fan, which offers automatic speed control via the motherboard, you can achieve optimum performance when the CPU is under heavy load and a virtually inaudible fan noise at other times. Installation is kept impressively simple thanks to the renowned Noctua SecuFirm2™ professional mounting system and pre-applied NT-H1 thermal paste. Backed by a solid 6-year Noctua manufacturer's warranty, the NH-U12S redux is a clever and affordable solution giving access to a high quality 120mm ventirad.

Redux

True to the concept of the Noctua redux line, the NH-U12S redux builds on the proven concept of the NH-U12S while keeping only the essentials: a quiet, high-quality 120mm fan with a few must-have accessories, easy to install and offering a high level of compatibility. The NH-U12S redux is based on the popular NH-U12S high-end model, which is widely recognised as one of the best slimline 120mm single tower fans on the market. With over 200 awards and recommendations from the press and specialist websites, the NH-U12S has won the trust of tens of thousands of users worldwide.

Copper base


The flatness of the copper base is essential to ensure good contact with modern CPUs and good heat transfer to the heat pipes. While this is often overlooked on many heatsinks for economic reasons, the NH-U12S redux retains the same type of copper base as the original NH-U12S. Such high quality machining results in a high quality contact.

    cools really well

    It's simple, I switched from an AMD wraith stealth processor fan to this NOCTUA REDUX and I've gained 20 degrees. That's huge compared to before, when I was overheating, it could go up to 90 degrees in full game mode, and now it's 55-60 degrees max. I highly recommend this super super fan and it's super easy to install on an AMD motherboard, everything is supplied and explained in the box.
