Stunning looking NH-U12S CPU cooler

Following usual Noctua standards, the Noctua heatsink cover has been well packaged, well designed and comes with excellent installation instructions. I have to say it looks just amazing on the heatsink and gives the heatsink a much more "finished" look. It is very easy to install. The sides of the cover that cover the "sides" of the heatsink fit snugly and still fit flush despite the fan clips being on the bottom. You must remove the shroud to remove the fan and fan clips. If you're feeling…

Pros
  • Feels great
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

This is a heatsink cover

I bought a Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black cooler and didn't want to use a full CPU dimming scheme. So buying it in white suited my black and white scheme. It is easy to assemble and is held in place by magnets. It is solid when the magnets touch. Make sure the top and sides don't wobble. If you hesitate, move it slightly from side to side. Sooner or later you will feel it shift and snap into place. Although the white almost matches my white case, I'm going to paint it white (it's good to know…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Pretty! Computer Components

Easy to install and makes the Noctua CPU cooler look good! Bought it color matched to my build. I have an Nzxt S340 and I used a Noctua NH-U12S. The website says the cooler will be extended by 6mm, bringing the overall height of the heatsink to 164mm. The S340 only supports up to 161mm so I thought I'd have to remake this cap but surprisingly it fit with no issues! The radiator touches the plastic window on the body, but barely. I would recommend this if you plan to use Noctua air coolers but…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Not the best
