    Im very happy with my Noctua NH-U1S. First of all, the product packaging is outstanding. It gave me a feeling immediately that this was a quality product.. Installation was extremely easy. I understand from things Ive read on tech sites that previous generations of AMD compatible motherboards could present difficulties mounting aftermarket CPU coolers. The newer generation Ryzen CPUs and motherboards dont seem to have as many issues with this. Installation took about 10 minutes, all the necessary parts came in the Noctua box. The radiator feels solid and well built, as does the single included fan. My only, tiny complaint is the wire clips that attach the fan to the radiator on the top and bottom. They are a bit flimsy which causes the fan to hang a bit low when mounted on the radiator. Maybe dock 1/4 star for that. My CPU temps hover between 25C and 30C when gaming or web surfing. If you are building a PC and are hesitant about using a closed loop water cooler, as I was, this is a great alternative.

    I ordered this twice, and both times it came without the am4 adapter. I ordered the adapter with it the second time and it fit right in. Support insisted the adapter was in the box, but of the three included that wasnt one of them.

    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.

    Relatively silent, and very performant. Very easy to install with the manual as you only need to work on one side of the motherboard.

    I got this to replace Arctic Freezer 34 CO for my AMD 5800x CPU to hopefully decrease 5800x temps which runs very hot unlike any other AMD CPU of same generation. Unfortunately there is no temperature difference or all core clock boost difference between Arctic Freezer and this Noctua, using same thermal paste. Even in terms of noise - this Noctua cooler is just as loud as the 34 CO when fan is at max speed. And the mounting system is not significantly better in terms of ease of mounting. So if you want to save yourself some money - go with Arctic Freezer 34 CO.

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.
