    Nice fan and quite. Fit well on my 1800s on my MSI X370 Titanium MB. Clears the 4 dims and just about a centimeter from the glass on my S340 elite case. Idle temps around 37c and when hot, low 70c.

    Cools down AMD 5600X well enough that case fans are not running crazy trying to do what they will never achieve, cool down CPU. Free cpu cooler included with CPU cant cut descent overclocking.

    This was easy to install into a Micro ATX case (masterbox QL300) onto an Asus Mobo b450m. Theres room for my ram and about .25 of space to the side of the case from the top of the cooler. I use the stock settings to cool my CPU, I dont hear the CPU fan almost never unless Im doing some bench tests. CPU temp idle and low workload (chrome and maybe photoshop) between 38-42c. when I OC and bench test its 68-71ish. My mobo isnt so strong so I just keep everything typically stock. I bought this cooler for potential future proof air cooling.. I need to upgrade my mobo and cpu I have no doubts this cooler will be sufficient for many years, and you can add another cooler for push/pull if desired. People dont like the tan/brown-red look.. but its not that big of a deal when you have a dark window.. still looks clean, they make replacement fans in different colors, Im sticking with stock.

    I bought this cooler after purchasing a Ryzen 7 3700X 8 cores processor because its stock cooler seems to not satisfy the buyers choice. I am really impressed how this device works. I also bought an extra Noctua fan 2.000 RPM Noctua NF-A12x25 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin,120mm, put it as main and changed the stock one on the back side. It works perfect, cooling better than expected. IDLE around 38º-40º C and moving to 60º-65º C when the CPU loading id high. Better than expected. I also put a dust filter for the 2000 RPM main fan. This protect a lot the cooler body from the dirt. The thermal paste as Arctic Silver 5. Great job Noctua!

    Lowered the temp of my ryzen 2600 by 15C. Install was fairly straightforward (10 min or so) in my X470 AORUS motherboard.

    Use this on a 1600X and 1800X. Works beatifully. Great temps even with an OC on the 1800X octocore.

    Apart from stock coolers this is one of the easiest cpu coolers I’ve mounted in the 10 years I’ve built pcs. Temps seem a bit better than the 212 evo and the included fan is amazing!!

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.
