> 3 dayIts ultra quiet, keeps my ryzen 1700x temperatures in the 20s at idle, never touches 50 when stressed. It was easy to install, with clear instructions and a wealth of parts for different configs. This is the one part of my whole system that works above any expectations and without any tinkering after installation. I was just going though the list of parts it took to build it, and realized this noctua cooler is the one Ive never had to think about. Just buy it

> 3 dayCools my Ryzen 5 1600 much better than my Corsair H100i GTX and is much easier to mount and much much quieter. I highly recommend any of Noctua coolers in you need a cooler for your PC.

Greater than one weekNoctua rimane una sicurezza per i sistemi di raffreddamento. Primo dissipatore della casa nativo per i nuovi socket AM4 di amd. Compatibile con le nuove schede madri uscite con tale socket. Il radiatore e la ventola da 120mm fanno il loro lavoro egregiamente, mantenendo la cpu attorno ai 30°C anche sotto carico leggero....Il sistema risponde bene anche sotto sforzo, grazie alla sua ventola PWM configurabile sia tramite i vari bios, sia dalle utility delle schede madri. La ventola è molto silenziosa e quando viene portata al massimo degli rpm non diventa rumorosa o fastidiosa.

> 3 dayThe 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.

Greater than one weekJe viens de le monter sur un Ryzen 1700x. Aucun souci. Le ventilateur est silencieux. Je lentends moins que ceux du boitiers (Fractal design S). La température du micro-processeur est de 40°C au démarrage et il est monté à 57°C après 2 heures 30 dutilisation.

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. |
