> 3 dayThis cooler is doing a fantastic job keeping my Ryzen 1700x cool. I have a few other fans going, but nothing extreme(5 fans including this one, 2 came with case and I purchased an additional 2), and keeping temps around 33-36C idle, and under load about 50-53C.

Greater than one weekPaired with my Ryzen 5 1600, I get really low temps even with an OC, and the installation instructions/materials were easy to use and understand.Great Product!

> 3 dayThis thing is amazing! My AIO watercooler died after only 3 years of light use so I decided to go back to air cooling. Figured I may as well go for the best that money can buy according to reviews. Installation was the fastest of all my previous coolers. I was honestly surprised to see my peak gaming temperature at 55C instead of 60+ which is where Ive been the past year on my AIO water cooler. AND on top of that, my fans are much quieter than Ive heard them in nearly a decade. Im not even using the low noise adapter and I can barely tell my PC is running. Im only hearing my 5 case fans while idle and its much quieter than ever with less random revving up the RPMs. I think I may just buy this brand going forward as its worth the extra money.

> 3 dayIn a push pull config, I got better temps with a deepcool gammax heatsink over this one. I do appreciate the quiet fans, though.

> 3 dayInfinitely excellent. havent seen it above 54C while my OC Ryzen 1600 @ 3.8ghz mining cryptoknight on 8 threads, running a wallet, watching shows (hardware acceleration (GPU busy mining scrypt10)), and browsing the internet.

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. |
