> 24 hourPurtroppo tutto fila liscio fino allinstallazione delle staffe ma quando poso il dissipatore le due viti laterali non riescono ad agganciarsi ai perni delle staffe sottostanti.. girano a vuoto senza presa.. come se il mio processore fosse troppo spesso per permettere laggancio.. al massimo prende una ma poi la controlaterale non si avvita...

> 24 hourPurchased this for a Ryzen 3600/GTX 1660ti build on ROG Strix B550 mobo with 32 GB 3200 RAM & Samsung 2 TB SSD. It looks amazing and the doo doo brown fan is its own signal of quality. CPU temps run 31-34 F at idle, and spikes are 51-55 F. Spikes reduce to 38-40 F during load within 1 second of the Noctua fan curve kicking in. The fan is also very quiet. I daresay my LED case fans are louder.

> 24 hourUsed with a Ryzen 5 2600x and my temperatures, which were a problem while gaming and streaming, are perfect. At stock cpu settings with overclocked RAM, my cpu never goes over 65 degrees C. Under stress test of 100% load, cpu never exceeded 72 degrees C after 15 mins.

> 24 hourIve been building computers for 20 years and outside of an SSD this is one of the best purchases Ive made. The only downside is the color is not very pretty, but I have a way to fix that as well.

> 24 hourThis isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing cooler, but my god it works amazingly well. The fans are silent, as you’d expect from Noctua. Under a moderate load while streaming to Twitch, my Ryzen 5 2600 originally ran at about 75-80 degrees Celsius. This dropped my temperature to peaking at 48 Celsius. Granted, I did purchase another fan and attached it to the other size of the cooler.
Continuing the legacy of Noctua’s classic NH-U-series, the NH-U12S has become a benchmark for slim, highly compatible 120mm single tower coolers.

Topped off with the renowned quiet NF-F12 PWM 120mm fan, and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12S SE-AM4 forms a complete premium-quality solution that combines outstanding performance, superb acoustics and excellent compatibility for AM4/AM5 systems.

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. |
