    Cool, quiet and the mounting system works a dream :)

    Main goal was to overclock my CPU as far as it can go. I did not think it would be a very good idea to do it on an air cooler, however this one is a very competent one, and does the job ( ryzen 5 2600 - furthest I could push it is 1.42V, 4.15 Ghz, at 82-84°C; temps get even lower at - 1.37V, 3.95 GHz, at 74.5°C at full sinth. load ). At stock or at a lower clock on the CPU this cooler maintains (depending on the CPU that is) 29-32°C at idle, and around 49-56°C at full load. Noice levels are OK. These are results from my personal use of the cooler. Even the thermal paste that comes with the cooler is good. All around the installation was easy enough. Everything, including the tools that you would need to mount it and some spare parts come in the box. Perfect for AM4 motherboards and mid tower cases.

    My Ryzen 5 2600 is sitting at 4.2 Ghz and barely over 65C on load. Most games run at about 60C. The mount might be a bit of a pain for some people but its pretty straight forward.

    Great Customer Service. had to contact them for a mounting bracket and they were ready to send it to me right away.

    Cools my 3800x in an itx case very well. Dips into the low 80s under load with PBO and multicore enhancement on. Replaced a Corsair H75 aio and outperforms it significantly while running MUCH quieter.

    Je pensais pas en avoir besoin avec mon Ryzen 5 5600X fourni avec un ventilateur dans sa boite... sauf quil chauffait trop au point de planter, sans parler du bruit.

    Well worth the buy in running an ryzen 3 3100 and my idle temps dropped from my stock cooler from 31 degrees celcius to 27 lowest on an average day. In cinebench I run 60.5 degrees hottest after 3 runs over the 75.5 degrees on the stock cooler. In games like gta ark survival forza horizon Ive not hit above 51 degrees and average at 45. My stock cooler would do 58 to61 average and hit 71 at full load.

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

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.
