Greater than one weekAlways use Noctua fans and coolers in my builds they may be slightly more expensive but well worth it for the ultra quiet cooling.

> 3 dayPurchased this for a Ryzen 3600/GTX 1660ti build on ROG Strix B550 mobo with 32 GB 3200 RAM & Samsung 2 TB SSD. It looks amazing and the doo doo brown fan is its own signal of quality. CPU temps run 31-34 F at idle, and spikes are 51-55 F. Spikes reduce to 38-40 F during load within 1 second of the Noctua fan curve kicking in. The fan is also very quiet. I daresay my LED case fans are louder.

> 3 dayAcquistato per sostituire lAIO Master Cooler a liquido ML240, dopo 6 mesi ha ceduto la pompa acqua. Sono rimasto sorpreso dalla silenziosità, la ventola gira sempre al minimo e il Ryzen 1600 non supera mai 50 gradi anche dopo 30 minuti al 100%

> 3 daySo overall once I was able to get it installed , which alone was a little tricky but not impossible its been just the bees knees . Excellent cooler not loud at all even at full power , in my opinion . Only thing I have to be upset about is the fact I didnt get the dual fan cooler ! Replaced my stock stealth AMD cooler with this one , while gaming Im seeing easily 10°c cooler then the stock AMD fan .

> 3 dayHo dovuto rrestituire questo dissipatore poiché non entrava nel mio Case per questioni di millimetri. Non ho quindi installato il componente ma lho imballato e consegnato a SDA. Secondo il traking il dissipatore è stato consegnato il giorno 10/10. Nel frattempo ho acquistato un altro dissipatore Noctua di minori dimensioni che è arrivato ed è perfetto. Il problema è che oggi 13/10 controllando lo stato del mio reso lo stesso non risulta ancora consegnato quindi dovè ?

> 3 dayFantastic cooler with included fantastic thermal paste! Although its fairly large, it still allows ample room for the G.Skill TridentZ RGB ram on the ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard.

> 3 dayIt still makes noise, like any fan. Low frequency and not annoying though.

> 3 dayWas considering an AIO but went with this air cooled solution instead. Doing a fantastic job keeping my R5 1600 cool and is extremely quiet. Since I have a case without window I dont see it, so I dont worry about the colour either.

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. |
