> 3 dayEasy to install, noise level is quiet unless your running a very heavy cpu oriented program then the fan is noticeable. This cooler is sufficient for light over clocking but not if you want to push your system.

> 3 dayI use this cooler with my Ryzen 5 1600. Overclocked to 3.8GHz at 1.35v, I saw temperatures drop from 73c on stock cooler to around 61c in Aida64. I briefly OCd to 3.9 at 1.4125v and saw temps at around 64c. Very happy with this cooler.

> 3 dayAwesome cooler for ryzen 7 5800x. It’s very quiet. Just a few things to consider. Make sure you have enough clearance in your case. It could be bulky if your case is too thin. Other than that, I’ll say the internet was right about this one. My average cpu temps at odds is about 48 c and 53-55 c at heavy gaming/benchmarking.

> 3 dayThis fit an AM4 mini-itx build with no issues whatsoever. Lets face it you really cant go wrong when getting Noctua fans or heatsinks.

> 3 dayFa un lavoro egregio, riesce ad abbassare la temperatura del mio Ryzen 2600 X di circa 25% su ogni tipologia di carico. Lo ricomprerei a occhi chiusi

> 3 dayMe mantiene mi procesador a temperaturas por debajo de 65 grados incluso en pruebas multinúcleo de estrés y a un nivel de ruido realmente bajo. No me esperaba unos resultados tan tan buenos, estoy sorprendido para bien con este disipador. Te trae además una muy buena pasta térmica, piezas para montar un ventilador más en su otra cara, una llave para atornillar maciza... Los materiales del producto son de lo mejor, este disipador vale cada euro que he pagado.

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. |
