Greater than one weekI recently bought a new CPU and the stock cooler I was using was not adequate. The CPU was reaching 95C under load. Noctua was recommended by a friend so I ordered one to give it a try. Now, the CPU never gets above 75C. It was simple to install and is very quiet. This is by far the best CPU cooler I’ve ever used.

25-09-2024Es un disipador grande pero que deja espacio para la ram y para poner la tarjeta grafica. El montaje muy sencillo siguiendo el manual de instrucciones. Decir que se puede poner en dos direcciones y depende de la direccion se usa un montaje u otro pero es muy sencillo. Ademas te viene con pasta termica que con la cantidad que te viene se pueden usar mas veces. En cuanto a temperaturas en cinebench con un ryzen 2600 a 21 de julio saco 2876 puntos y no sobre pasa los 65º, esto lo acompaño con la torre H500 cooler master.

> 3 dayThis heat-sink is fantastic... cooling my Ryzen7 1700X to 45 C under 7/8 cores at 100% load mining crypto algorithms. Its also extremely quiet and, quite possibly, the easiest to install large heat-sink I have ever touched. I would recommend it to ANYONE looking for an easy to install / effective AM4 heat-sink.

> 3 dayQuesto dissipatore è semplicemente eccezionale. Le mie temperature sono scese di 15 gradi, facendo girare la ventola al 50%. Davvero consigliatissimo, soprattutto per cpu che scaldano molto come i Ryzen.

> 3 dayDopo avere letto numerose recensioni, e vista le mie precedenti esperienze positive con Noctua, ho deciso di acquistare questo dissipatore. Non so se è un problema del dissipatore che ho ricevuto io in particolare, ma non ho trovato benefici sensibili sulle temperature rispetto al dissipatore Wraith di AM -- fatto salvo la minore rumorosità della ventola.

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. |
