Greater than one weekThis little guy took my Ryzen 5600xs temps down from 90c to 70c. It comes with thermal paste, and makes your pc look and feel a lot cooler.

> 3 dayI have purchased various noctua fans. They are no better at cooling than cheaper units but they are very solid and well made.

> 3 dayThe cooler would probably be awesome, unfortunately I cant test it because there were no AM brackets when I specifically ordered the one that came with AM4 brackets.

Greater than one weekcarte mère msi x470 gaming plus, ventilo monté sur un ryzen 5 2600x en remplacement du ventilo dorigine. A pleine charge je suis passé de 83° à 61°, et le ventilo ne tourne quà 70% ! Et surtout, aucun bruit cest tellement agréable. Toute la visserie est fournie avec, jai inversé le ventilo comme indiqué dans la doc pour faire un circuit dair entrant et un sortant avec le ventilo du boitier. Top quoi !

> 3 dayApplied to (currently stock speeds) AMD Ryzen 2600 on ASUS X470-Pro in an h500i case. Install was very easy, 15-20 minutes tops. Idle temps dropped from 40-45c with stock cooler to 25-27c. Load temps dropped from 65-70c to 40-45c. Worthy investment.

> 3 dayReading the reviews I was concerned it may not cool enough for overclocking my Ryzen 5 2600. Decided to try it due to the price point. However it’s doing a fantastic job, even with one fan installed (you can add a second) I was able to reach 4.1 ghz on the usual 3.4 ghz CPU and remain under 70°C even at 100% for ten minutes in real world testing. A bonus is the very small if not no noise the fan makes. Only downside is the ugly brown!

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. |
