> 3 dayIl dissipatore é di ottima fattura (anche se potevano sforzarsi a lappare meglio la base a contatto con la cpu), il montaggio é semplice e ben progettato, la ventola é silenziosa.

> 3 dayIve always wanted a Noctua cooler. Saw so many great reviews. My build is all Bequiet. Case and fans. Was gonna get the Dark Rock Pro 4 but the size and installation looked odd.

> 3 dayI used this on my Asus Strix B350-F AM4 motherboard with a Ryzen 1200. It keeps it at around 63 degrees Celsius running prime95 at 3.85Ghz, at an ambient temp of around 28 degrees Celsius. I switched the fan though to a 2,000 rpm Noctua ippc fan.The install is very easy and secure compared to other tower heat sinks Ive used in the past. The quality of this heat sink is worth the extra cost compared to other lower priced options.

Greater than one weekGot this over others due to reports of other coolers being difficult to install. This was a breeze. Also very quiet. In my opinion, worth the money. Also comes with good thermal compound.

> 3 dayIn a push pull config, I got better temps with a deepcool gammax heatsink over this one. I do appreciate the quiet fans, though.

> 3 dayensemble de très bonne facture. Système performant et peu bruyant. attention toutefois à lencombrement hors tout sur la carte mère où il sera implanté (quelques soucis de volume du dissipateur, mais vite gérés). Ne pas hésiter.

> 3 dayI am so happy i follower my instinct and trust the reviews. I got the se m4 single fan version. My processor, a ryzen 5 3600 came with the stealth cooler, and I was not happy with the results. I was in the 60-70 degree range pretty much all the time. As soon as I installed this new fan/heatsink, my temps dropped to the 30s and worst case in the high 40s

> 3 dayInfinitely excellent. havent seen it above 54C while my OC Ryzen 1600 @ 3.8ghz mining cryptoknight on 8 threads, running a wallet, watching shows (hardware acceleration (GPU busy mining scrypt10)), and browsing the internet.

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. |
