23-09-2024Possibly the best air cooler for Ryzen. The bigger 140mm models will likely have trouble fitting into cases, this 120mm model barley fits into my Fractal Define R4. At 3.6Ghz, my R7 1700 loads at 56C, compared to 88C on the stock cooler.

Greater than one weekDissipatore per CPU, facile da montare molto silenzioso anche ad alte velocità, mi ha abbassato la temperatura di circa 10 gradi rispeto al dissipatore originale.

> 3 dayInstalled on a Ryzen 5 5600X. Idle and in game temps drop ~15°c. Definitely quieter than stock AMD cooler.

> 3 dayMy Ryzen 5 2600 is sitting at 4.2 Ghz and barely over 65C on load. Most games run at about 60C. The mount might be a bit of a pain for some people but its pretty straight forward.

> 3 dayIl dissipatore é di ottima fattura (anche se potevano sforzarsi a lappare meglio la base a contatto con la cpu), il montaggio é semplice e ben progettato, la ventola é silenziosa.

> 3 dayNoctua non ha bisogno di presentazioni, i suoi prodotti sono semplicemente i migliori sulla piazza. Purtroppo ho dovuto rendere questo modello perché ha solo gli attacchi AM4 e ho deciso di tornare ad Intel causa gravi problemi che ho riscontrato sulle nuove piattaforme AMD, in particolare sul chipset della scheda madre.

> 3 dayReplaced a Stock AMD cooler for 3400G cpu which was very noisy.

> 3 dayChi ha mai acquistato un dissipatore Noctua di qualsiasi genere sa benissimo che il nome è già una garanzia di qualità. Costruito in maniera impeccabile, materiali eccellenti e prestazioni al top per dissipazione ad aria. Soddisfatto come sempre.

Greater than one weekvenendo dal corsair H60 liquido devo ammettere che la temperatura su ryzen 1600x si mantiene piacevolmente bassa, raramente arriva sui 48° a pieno regime. Facilissimo da installare.
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.

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. |
