> 3 dayMy recent purchase of a PC left much to be desired for a cooling solution. While it was adequate for stock. It wasnt going to cut it for any Overclocking. This cooler cut my temps by around 20 degrees C on my overclocking.

Greater than one weekThe noise level is quiet, the cooling is excellent, and installation was simple in comparison to other fans. I own a Gigabyte Gaming 3 with a Ryzen 5 CPU along with Corsair Vengeance RAMs. The fan installed completely fine in a NZXT S340 without any issues.

> 3 dayIm very happy with my Noctua NH-U1S. First of all, the product packaging is outstanding. It gave me a feeling immediately that this was a quality product.. Installation was extremely easy. I understand from things Ive read on tech sites that previous generations of AMD compatible motherboards could present difficulties mounting aftermarket CPU coolers. The newer generation Ryzen CPUs and motherboards dont seem to have as many issues with this. Installation took about 10 minutes, all the necessary parts came in the Noctua box. The radiator feels solid and well built, as does the single included fan. My only, tiny complaint is the wire clips that attach the fan to the radiator on the top and bottom. They are a bit flimsy which causes the fan to hang a bit low when mounted on the radiator. Maybe dock 1/4 star for that. My CPU temps hover between 25C and 30C when gaming or web surfing. If you are building a PC and are hesitant about using a closed loop water cooler, as I was, this is a great alternative.

Greater than one weekNice fan and quite. Fit well on my 1800s on my MSI X370 Titanium MB. Clears the 4 dims and just about a centimeter from the glass on my S340 elite case. Idle temps around 37c and when hot, low 70c.

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. |
