Noctua NH-U12S DX-3647

The NH-U12S DX-3647 continues Noctua's line of high performance yet quiet CPU coolers for Intel's Xeon server and workstation processors. This unit is designed for the Xeon Scalable processor series - specifically socket LGA3674, with both square and narrow style mounting included.

Traditionally there have been very few low-noise cooling options for the Xeon platform, as noise level is not typically a concern for such systems. When a server or high-end workstation needs to be operating in an office or other quiet environment, though, this Noctua heatsink and fan combo is a great choice. It is also quite slim, allowing for easy access to the RAM modules typically found just to either side of the CPU socket. Due to its height, this cooler is limited to only tower cases (not rackmounts).
