    I 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.

    I own two machines work with this model and they do their job very well. You hardly even notice they are working.

    I had the renowned CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo before this. I was on a tighter budget at the time. It was great at idle and medium load, but at full load it was more noticeable and easily contributes to the overall sound of the room. This one is absolutely impossible to hear until 80%-100% PWM and even then is 2/3 the noise of the CoolerMaster. It keeps my Ryzen cool enough not to warrant full power anyway. Definitely worth scrounging another thirty bucks and passing on the reliable old dog that is the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo.

    Veramente di qualità e ben accessoriato. In Windows non si sente nulla, in game la ventola non arriva nemmeno al massimo. E veramente performante e silenzioso. Ci sta al pelo nel mio case con mobo micro-ATX. Meglio quindi prenderlo se avete un case ATX, così linstallazione è più comoda e non rischia di toccare altre componenti. Ho sia questo che la versione L9x65 e sono entrambi ottimi prodotti di qualità.

    Lowered the temp of my ryzen 2600 by 15C. Install was fairly straightforward (10 min or so) in my X470 AORUS motherboard.

    Accidentally bought 2 and seller didnt get back to me about the return of the one. But good heatsink and fan.

    This heatsink isnt easy on the eyes but it keeps my 5600x pretty damn cool and stays quiet. It was easy to install even for idiots like myself. I have not built a PC in over 8 years.

    Bello da vedere, silenziosissimo e mantiene le temperature basse, consiglio vivamente lacquisto di questo prodotto, soprattutto per il prezzo contenuto

    This cooler is doing a fantastic job keeping my Ryzen 1700x cool. I have a few other fans going, but nothing extreme(5 fans including this one, 2 came with case and I purchased an additional 2), and keeping temps around 33-36C idle, and under load about 50-53C.

    Très satisfait du niveau de bruit et de lefficacité. Utilisé pour refroidir un Ryzen 7 1700X overclocké à 4 GHz, je le fais tourner à 20% (niveau de bruit TRES faible) puis à 50% quand le proc dépasse les 60° (en jeu) et à 100% sil dépasse 70°. Le proc ne dépasse à peu près jamais les 70 même après plusieurs heures de jeu. A 50%, le niveau de bruit est tout à fait satisfaisant, et il pourrait être à peu près inaudible en utilisation bureautique et avec un processeur non overclocké.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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 compound

Having 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.
