> 24 hourHandily beats the stock AMD cooler that came with my Ryzen 3600X; temperatures are 10C lower at idle and the fan is virtually silent. It is a bit of a pain to install as you need to fuss with it a bit to get the screw-downs on the cooler crossbar to line-up with the threaded posts on the mounting bracket.

> 24 hourPrimo noctua. Stupito dalla semplicità di montaggio. Kit completo di tutto. Con le temperature esterne attuali . Rispetto allo stock ho guadagnato 12 15 gradi.. su un ryzen 1600. In full a 3699 3799 arriva a 59 gradi. Ottimo acquisto.

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourIt keeps the temps of my Ryzen 1800x under control and like my other Noctua fans, its whisper quiet. The mounting system was a breeze to use and it comes with plenty of thermal compound. Highly recommended!!

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. |
