> 3 dayAcquistato per raffreddare una nuova CPU ryzen. Ancora una volta Noctua si è dimostrata leader dei dissipatori ad aria. Massimo silenzio e temperatura sempre sotto i 60 gradi in overclock.

> 3 dayUsed with a Ryzen 5 2600x and my temperatures, which were a problem while gaming and streaming, are perfect. At stock cpu settings with overclocked RAM, my cpu never goes over 65 degrees C. Under stress test of 100% load, cpu never exceeded 72 degrees C after 15 mins.

10-11-2024I 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 dayI originally bought a 212 LED turbo as i was happy with the Cooler Masters in the past. However, I was doing an AM4 build and that cooler only dissipates the air vertically, towards top of the case. Ultimately the orientation meant it did not fit over my memory cards with the heat spreaders. I bought this cooler with an additional fan and was amazed by the quietness. I mean whisper quiet. It fit as it includes a bracket solution to fit in any orientation.

> 3 dayInstallation instructions were crystal clear but when it comes to the springs for mounting with the screws, I had quite a bit of trouble with it. Overall, still a great product.

> 3 dayUsed for cooling a Ryzen 2600. Best air cooler Ive ever used - period. Idle temps: ~33C, load temps: ~40C, extreme load temps (all cpus at 100% for several minutes): ~56C. This is in a high air flow case with 3 120mm Noctua PWM case fans.

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. |
