> 3 dayBest air cooler out there performance wise. Came with everything required, including thermal paste. Just remember to check your RAM clearance before choosing your orientation.

> 3 dayThis cooler does an excellent job maintaining boost clocks on AMD. AMD has an issue getting heat from their chip to their chips heat spreader, but once it gets there, the U12S is more than capable of removing it.

> 3 dayI bought this cooler after purchasing a Ryzen 7 3700X 8 cores processor because its stock cooler seems to not satisfy the buyers choice. I am really impressed how this device works. I also bought an extra Noctua fan 2.000 RPM Noctua NF-A12x25 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin,120mm, put it as main and changed the stock one on the back side. It works perfect, cooling better than expected. IDLE around 38º-40º C and moving to 60º-65º C when the CPU loading id high. Better than expected. I also put a dust filter for the 2000 RPM main fan. This protect a lot the cooler body from the dirt. The thermal paste as Arctic Silver 5. Great job Noctua!

> 3 dayThis is the easiest aftermarket cooler install I have every done. It just screws into place. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Never during the process did I feel lost or unsure of what to do next. This is the complete opposite of my experience installing a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo on my dads work machine a week after I built my computer with the Noctua. Yes the Evo is a lot cheaper, but I am willing to pay for this convenience. The other coolers Ive installed from years ago (a Cooler Master V8 and Prolimatech Megahalem) were also not as easy.

> 3 dayThis cooler is well worth the money. I overclocked my Ryzen7 1700 to 3.7GHz, at 1.26v. At those settings, it would peak at about 70c, while running Prime95 small FFTS, with an ambient temperature of 30C(86f). It idles at around 40C. It was peaking at 73C, at stock clocks, with the Wraith Spire RGB. The fit and finish is also excellent. It feels great to get what you pay for.

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. |
