    Noctua products are great and this one is excellent if you need a midrange cooler for a smaller-medium build. Good installation and great performance.

    I ended up just installing the wraithcooler that came with the Ryzen 3 3600 I bought, This is by far the most tedious product I have ever worked with. The design in poor in my opinion, It forces you to take of the fan to mount it (I dont know when they would have just engineered it so those thumb screws arent underneath the fan. Once you get that fan off the IT WONT go back on, Those junk metal clips it gives you only bend when you dont want them to. NEVER AGAIN, This was $60 wasted for Im about to just throw it in the trash. PS My father gifted me this for an early birthday present because I hate stock coolers but this is complete trash. Also I spent 40 minutes trying to make it go on.

    Noctua lives up to their reputation. Although their color choices dont mesh with the usual color scheme, entheusists can immediately tell if the builder knows their stuff based on Noctuas unique color scheme. You can spend a bit more for the all black version if you really want to color coordinate.

    I love this CPU cooler, dropped my temps to like 28degC while in the basement (room temp around 22degC) at idle. Works like a charm!

    Tengo entendido que es el mejor, y razón a la gente no le falta, la inversión es alta, pero te durará toda la vida, además puedes ponerle otro ventilador en el futuro, y la pasta te dura para muchos recambios cuando hagas limpieza, no hace ruido, de hecho escucho más a mi fuente de alimentación y disco duro que cualquier ventilador. En juegos actuales no pasa de 45 grados a medias revoluciones. Instalación sencilla para AM4 ojo necesitas el backplate, que se sitúa debajo de la placa base, viene con destornillador, pasta de alta calidad y conductividad, repuestos de sujeta-ventiladores, repuestos de gomas en las esquinas del ventilador, bueno, en mi caso venía con dos tiras de silicona que puse debajo del ventilador en el disipador, supongo que es para amortiguar las vibraciones. No estorba las RAM. Estéticamente si tu caja tiene ventana, dicen que rompe la estética, pero su color marrón es un referente de la marca, no me importa su estética ya que es diferente, y llamativo. en el buen sentido. Ahora mismo tengo el Ryzen 5 1600 a 27 grados y 335 RPM. Tener cuidado al aplicar la pasta, con el tamaño de un guisante pequeño vale. lo importante es cubrir el centro y alrededores del disipador. las esquinas no importan tanto, pero vamos, que poniendo la cantifaf adecuada, al aplastar se reparte todo en un 90%.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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 compound

Having 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.
