Product features

• 100% RAM compatibility
  Thanks to its slim design, the NH-U12S will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and guarantees 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans.
• Classic 120 mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility
  The NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125 mm wide, the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring best compatibility with SLI and CrossFire setups.
