> 24 hourWell 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.

> 24 hourVery pleased with this cooler. CPU temp dropped from 49C with AMD stock cooler, to 37C. Also impressed with the thought that has gone into the package, as all ancillaries are supplied.

> 24 hourAs one who has worked with Cooler Masters for years and never really invested in a CPU fan more than $30, I decided to give Noctua a shot this time. Their performance is well known and frankly, the CM coolers for AM4 werent really in stock. Figured, what the heck...Ill splurge a little.

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. |
