> 3 dayI recently built a PC with the new Ryzen 5 3600 Zen 2 chip, so I knew I needed a good cooler (to get good boost clock performance). But above all, I wanted a *quiet* PC. So I got this Noctua cooler, and I am incredibly pleased!

Greater than one weekEl procesador AMD 3700X venía con su propio sistema de refrigeración, pero el ruido no era aceptable para mi, con este consigo un funcionamiento silencioso dentro de un margen aceptable de temperatura.

> 3 dayIts a heat pipe cooler. Works fine. Installation is easy with a functional bracket system. No clips means a more secure connection. Dropped temperatures about 10-15C. Cabling is not that great with unneeded sleeves and generally fair workmanship. Sleeve is annoyingly wax impregnated for some reason. I know that these are mass produced but a little more quality control rather then gamer appeal would have been nice.

> 3 dayPurchased this for a Ryzen 3600/GTX 1660ti build on ROG Strix B550 mobo with 32 GB 3200 RAM & Samsung 2 TB SSD. It looks amazing and the doo doo brown fan is its own signal of quality. CPU temps run 31-34 F at idle, and spikes are 51-55 F. Spikes reduce to 38-40 F during load within 1 second of the Noctua fan curve kicking in. The fan is also very quiet. I daresay my LED case fans are louder.

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. |
