    CPU Cooler could not be any easier to install. Running Handbrake Encoder on some Blu Ray files (all 16 threads running at close to 100% for hours), dropped my cpu temperatures from 65 degrees C down to 47C from the stock cooler on a Ryzen 2700.

    Acquistato per sostituire lAIO Master Cooler a liquido ML240, dopo 6 mesi ha ceduto la pompa acqua. Sono rimasto sorpreso dalla silenziosità, la ventola gira sempre al minimo e il Ryzen 1600 non supera mai 50 gradi anche dopo 30 minuti al 100%

    Je viens de le monter sur un Ryzen 1700x. Aucun souci. Le ventilateur est silencieux. Je lentends moins que ceux du boitiers (Fractal design S). La température du micro-processeur est de 40°C au démarrage et il est monté à 57°C après 2 heures 30 dutilisation.

    expensive for a heatsink yes , but for the performance its very good value for money excellent job of cooling and remains very very quiet

    This 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.

    Great heatsink, but the fan clips constantly come loose. I have watched videos to verify I am installing the fan correctly; I think that my fan clips are ...slinkier?... than they are supposed to be.

    I swapped from a case that had less ventilation, so the stock wraith prism was having to work harder.

    Très bien... Attention aux dimensions... Avec un seul ventilateur largement suffisant

    No hace absolutamente nada de ruido. Si no fuera por el movimiento de las aspas no parecería que funcionase.

    If color is not a concern this is a great CPU cooler. Way better than stock if over locking.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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 compound

Having 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.
