> 3 dayAlways trust noctua to deliver high quality cooling only at the cost of an ugly looking fan haha

Greater than one weekQuesto dissipatore è semplicemente eccezionale. Le mie temperature sono scese di 15 gradi, facendo girare la ventola al 50%. Davvero consigliatissimo, soprattutto per cpu che scaldano molto come i Ryzen.

> 3 dayMi sono trovato a chiedermi quanta attenzione ai dettagli si possa mettere nella realizzazione di un componente (un dissipatore per CPU) generalmente anonimo. Pensavo che più o meno si assomigliassero tutti, ma mi sbagliavo. Il Noctua che ho preso è ottimo, robusto, elegante. Funziona perfettamente e ne consiglierei decisamente lacquisto a chiunque abbia qualche soldo da spendere per un dissipatore.

> 3 dayI installed this on a Ryzen 9 5950X. No overclocking. It runs VERY cool and totally silent. I was planning on installing the 2nd fan, but it appears I wont need it. It may not be pretty, but MAN does it cool!!! Highly recommend it if you want an easy install and maximum cooling.

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. |
