Having the same setup, but board with wifi, ddr4 ballistix 3000mhz 4x8gb, and NOCTUA NH u14s cooler.
Temperatures are higher then my Skylake, but never more then 53°C !!!
Here’s something done very wrong!!
Did you order from NOCTUA the free new adaptor? It’s just a question of 1mm or less i think…. NOCTUA has a great support service! I used the cooler before on my Skylake too, but didn’t had the adaptor to fit the 690 board, …just fill in everything on their site, and in a week you have the new adapter.

It is a beautiful review! Thank you for that, because I wanted to buy the same parts.

Just one question, please. Could you answer it is possible to install an additional fan “Noctua NA-FK1 redux” from the other side of the radiator? I mean – is there enough space from the motherboard radiator’s side (where are located all inputs/outputs)?

In reply to Mike. I bought the NH-U12S for the Core i5-12600K and the LGA1700 upgrade kit has been shipped with the NH-U12S cooler, I didn't order the upgrade kit separately.

Ok, so I’m confused about the Noctua cooler – does the NH-U12S come with the extra LGA1700 bracket or do you have to purchase this separately, your review is a bit confusing in this respect. I am loyal to Noctua but if the mounting kit is separate (meaning another step in the build and more to go wrong) I may just find a cooler that works out of the box with LGA1700. Not sure if it helps but for my i5-12600k build I will most probably use a Gigabyte Z690 UD or Gaming X motherboard…. if the kit is separate how do I know which one to get?

In reply to JeGX. I changed the CPU fan to Turbo and it's a lot better. Using XMP II and turbo fan it's around 75 78 under heavy load. I am adding a 2nd fun also to U12S

In reply to George Angeludis. Yes, the Noctua U12S works fine with the i5-12600K, so 82°C is weird. Do you have a correct CPU temperature since you changed the memory slots (now in A2/B2) ?

In reply to George Angeludis.

Changing to A2B2 made a whole lot difference!
It works flawlessly.
What if I add another 2 sticks later? Should it work ok then?
Thanks a million

My i5 12600K with Noctua U12S with Asus TUF Gaming WiFi D4 with 2×32 gb Corsair 3200 can’t use XMP I or II. It goes up to 2800 only manually. And the temps I see is up to 82 Celsius. I thought this has to do with U12S not cooling enough the CPU but from what I see here this is not the case. I have the pair in A1B1 slots.
