NH-U12S
As you can see in our graph above, the NH-U12S stayed within three degrees Celsius consistently compared to its bigger brother, which is very impressive. Keep in mind the NH-U14S has a bigger fan in conjunction with nearly 40% more cooling surface area. Compared to the Noctua NH-D14, the big daddy of all air coolers, it obvious did not keep up -- nor did we expect it to. At the end of the day, the NH-U12S' slim single radiator proves to be a very efficient design, despite its relatively compact size.
"From improved aerodynamics for further reduced turbulence noise, better fan clips, to the adaptation of the company’s awesome SecuFirm2 mounting system, there is a lot to like about the NH-U12S. Furthermore, its slim form factor is a welcome addition to today’s market of super saturated, big-metal-chunk approach to cooling. Because it is so slim, it will not interfere with adjacent RAM slots." (Jonathan Kwan, APHNetworks.com)
