Lives in the shadow of the larger NHU14S…
…I still can't get over the color scheme…
$59.90 is more than many will want to pay for an air cooler
The Noctua NH-U12S does a great job at keeping a hot CPU under load and overclocked cool and does the job silently. While the chromatics may not be great, you can throw a bit more cash and get the black version.RELATED: HIS R7 240 iCooler Boost Clock 1GB...
