Greater than one weekIts a heat pipe cooler. Works fine. Installation is easy with a functional bracket system. No clips means a more secure connection. Dropped temperatures about 10-15C. Cabling is not that great with unneeded sleeves and generally fair workmanship. Sleeve is annoyingly wax impregnated for some reason. I know that these are mass produced but a little more quality control rather then gamer appeal would have been nice.

> 3 dayI just finished installing this cooler on my Ryzen 5 5600x so please keep in mind this is a very early review.

> 3 dayMontavo il famoso Wraith Prism sul mio Ryzen7 3700x prima di passare a questo Noctua. Diciamo che come minimo le temperature si sono abbassate del 10% ma soprattutto cè stato un enorme vantaggio in silenziosità... che per me era lobiettivo principale da raggiungere!

Greater than one weekI bought this for my Ryzen 7 3800XT cpu for my very first pc build. Keep in mind as you read this that I did the entire process for the first time, not just the installation of this fan.

> 3 dayUsed this to replace a stock cooler - this is so much more effective and quieter - the previous fan would sound like a jet engine with minimal increases in the CPU load.

> 3 dayThis is an extremely quite fan on this heatsink. The mounting system is very flexible for your application and is easy to assemble. The kit comes with everything you need including heatsink compound and even a screw driver.

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. |
