> 3 dayChe noctua sia noctua è risaputo. Ma qui si superano le aspettative. Nella confezione cè tutto ciò che serve, ma proprio tutto, persino il giravite a croce!!! Montaggio semplicissimo. Unica nota....il dissipatore è davvero enorme, non ci avevo badato, per fortuna nel mio aerocool ds230 ci è entrato, ma per poco!!! Con le ram invece nessun problema, il suo rialzo te le fa scordare, puoi girarlo come vuoi e non le tocca!!!

Greater than one weekAwesome heatsink and awesome case fans. Bought this for my new ryzen set up and works perfectly and properly came with the am4 mounts. First time using this brand and they just won me over! Keep up the good work!

> 3 dayThe cooler would probably be awesome, unfortunately I cant test it because there were no AM brackets when I specifically ordered the one that came with AM4 brackets.

Greater than one weekLooked nice I guess, will never know as they failed to send the correct item I ordered (no AM4 hardware). Stars--. Time to give the Cryorig H5 a try.

> 3 dayJust works. Do read the directions to orient it properly for your case. Works great in my mini-itx cube w/ front-to-back air flow on my AMD 2600. Very quiet.

> 3 dayHandily beats the stock AMD cooler that came with my Ryzen 3600X; temperatures are 10C lower at idle and the fan is virtually silent. It is a bit of a pain to install as you need to fuss with it a bit to get the screw-downs on the cooler crossbar to line-up with the threaded posts on the mounting bracket. Based on past experience, Im sure the Cooler Master Hyper 212 would have been nearly as effective for $20+ less, but when you want the best...

> 3 dayThis product has everything you need and nothing you dont. It comes with mounting hardware specifically for the AMD AM4 CPU socket and no other sockets. It requires the backplate which comes preinstalled on the motherboard, so dont throw that away! Youll need it! It comes with a small tube of thermal paste and a metal decal for the front of the case. Everything you need! Even at full speed the fan is very quiet, especially after you put the side panels on the case.

> 3 dayQuesto dissipatore è semplicemente eccezionale. Le mie temperature sono scese di 15 gradi, facendo girare la ventola al 50%. Davvero consigliatissimo, soprattutto per cpu che scaldano molto come i Ryzen.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups. |
100% RAM compatibilityThanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, 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 ensures 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts world-wide, the Noctua"s premium quality NF-F12 Focused Flow 120mm fan is renowned to combine superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundHaving received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua"s NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. |
