> 3 dayAll around worth the investment when on sale. Still worth the normal price. Great reduction in temps and runs quiet with pwm fans. Highly recommended for air cooling.

> 3 dayThe temperatures will vary on your setup/case, etc. But I overclock my Ryzen 5 to 4.4ghz, and while gamming with high settings my temps will never exceed 70 degrees Celsius! this cooler rocks!

> 3 dayNoctua lives up to its reputation. This fan nearly soundless and definitely lowers my CPU temps.

> 3 dayPurtroppo 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...

> 3 dayI use this cooler with my Ryzen 5 1600. Overclocked to 3.8GHz at 1.35v, I saw temperatures drop from 73c on stock cooler to around 61c in Aida64. I briefly OCd to 3.9 at 1.4125v and saw temps at around 64c. Very happy with this cooler.

> 3 dayNice quite fan, has great hard ware plus great packaging for the hardware, easy to install (given you dont put the mount brackets upside down first even though it clearly says this side up) seems to be doing good with all initial testing. Will full out another review once I start overclocking and playing video games.

> 3 dayI replaced my loud stock cooler with this one. Not impressed with noise levels. Its just as loud as my 15 dollar cooler.

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. |
