--- Appearance, Specification and Compatibility

Appearance

With a weight of 790g, the NH-U12F sits 15th in the list of contenders. And, with the fan attached, it measures 155(h) x 126(w) x 95(d)mm – so is a pretty substantial item.



The NH-U12F has four dual heat-pipes and 38 aluminium cooling fins that are said to present a surface area of over 5000cm².



[advert]There's a pleasing look to the NH-U12F, with the colours of the packaging carried over to the cooler and fan. Cream and maroon work well together and the quality of the finish on the cooler is good, too.
