Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black)

I know, I know, Noctua are the last word in PC air cooling. Honestly though, Ive found this performs about as well in cooling my Ryzen 5 5600X as my old Cooler Master Hyper 212, while costing twice as much. One area this shines though is how absurdly easy it is to mount the thing. Every review Ive read about Noctua products has made the same point, and it definitely makes a huge difference to the experience of building a PC, especially since my last cooler was for me the most frustrating component to work with in the entire build.

Noctua. Dieser Name steht für die Nr.1 der CPU Luftkühler und deren Lüfter. Nie hörte ich etwas schlechtes über diese Firma und deren Produkte und die Qualität ist sowieso unbestritten. Die Optik und der Preis hielten mich aber stets davon ab etwas von Noctua zu verbauen.

I recently built a system with these specs:

This thing is way better than the stock Ryzen Wraith Prism. It lowered the temps of my 3800x by double digits and the fan is way quieter.

uses the motherboards metal backplate.

Easy to install, silent and cool got it on my overclocked 2700x with on

Really easy to install, runs quietly and keeps thermals in check!

I know that this was a refurbished item in very good condition and that will come in repackaged. But, just putting every pieces in an Amazon box without stuffing is just stupid... Kind of lucky that its a not so fragile item because the package crossed Canada from BC to Quebec... Im kind of used to buy refurbished items but thats the first time that an item is so badly box... Shame on you Amazon Warehouse deals... Now, the item is not in very good condition anymore. I dont want to return the article because its working very well (the fan is not damaged, only the winglets on the heatsink) but please, do not ship thing like that. Except that, its a great product.

Ottimo prodotto, funziona egregiamente!

My CPU was getting too hot with my previous cooler and this one brought it down 20 degrees. It sits at 32° while idle and 62° during gaming. Im using a Ryzen 5600x btw.
