    Drop my max CPU temp by 30⁰ C and my avg by 20⁰ C. A great investment hands down!

    Très bonne qualité, plutôt silencieux, mais peut-être un peu juste pour mon ryzen 5800x.

    Exactly the awesome performance I expect from Noctua. I am cooling a non-gaming Ryzen 5700G system I use for day-to-day professional work. I like my PC to be as close to silent as possible given I sit next to it for more than 8 hours per day. PC case is well-ventilated with two other Noctua 120MM fans spinning lazily in front and back. CPU is at a comfy 44C under normal workload. Fan spins at 815 RPM normally and 850 RPM under maximum Prime95 load, with the CPU ticking up just a few degrees. I literally cannot heat my CPU up.

    Its a heat pipe cooler. Works fine. Installation is easy with a functional bracket system. No clips means a more secure connection. Dropped temperatures about 10-15C. Cabling is not that great with unneeded sleeves and generally fair workmanship. Sleeve is annoyingly wax impregnated for some reason. I know that these are mass produced but a little more quality control rather then gamer appeal would have been nice.

    Excellent packaging , build quality. Very quiet in operation. Beige fan colour is a brand aspect i do not personally like. But there is an industrial range of fans. Very happy with the product :)

    Very silent, very well built. Does come with thermal paste (noctuas brand)

    Considering how popular this cooler is, its probably prudent to start with my negatives.

    Used this to replace a stock cooler - this is so much more effective and quieter - the previous fan would sound like a jet engine with minimal increases in the CPU load.

    Inutile girarci attorno. Il prodotto è veramente un top di gamma in tutto a partire dalla confezione. La dotazione degli accessori è impressionante perchè dai, diciamocelo, in un kit per un dissipatore chi ti da anche un cacciavite a L di 17cm? La fornitura è curata nei minimi dettagli.

    Using this to cool a Ryzen 5800x and its performing well! My case is a Phantek p500a. Kind of a gamble going with this cooler and not a more powerful model, but no regrets thus far. Super quiet too.

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.
