> 3 dayMy Ryzen 3600 was idling 55-70 with the VERY loud stock wraith cooler. The idle temp with the Noctua NH-U12S is 36-50, and its very quiet. I dont have amazing airflow either... case is a Corsair 110Q.

> 3 dayAfter arguing with myself over whether I should air or water cool my new build and reading more reviews then I care to think of, I settled on this. Build quality is awesome and screams premium and fitted my case perfectly. As it says, it didnt impact any ram and the airflow is great, keeping my system running around 20 degrees Celsius idle and so far under load of video encoding its only been a high as 60 so more than sufficient. Amazing product and Id definitely buy more from noctua.

Greater than one weekIf color is not a concern this is a great CPU cooler. Way better than stock if over locking.

Greater than one weekLove this CPU Cooler! Pretty quiet, Great Quality, Keeps system pretty cool when in hot ambiant temperatures. With the Ryzen 7 2700x idles around 35c in 28c ambient. And when stress test for about max time on Ryzen Master stays stable around 65c. No overclock done just set to auto. Only thing I dislike is just the color. Should definitely get duo fans for best results.

> 3 dayCould not get it to more than 71 deg. C (during stress test to keep the CPU at 100% usage) and the fan peaked at 1290 RPM to keep it there. Also it is silent as hell.

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. |
