> 24 hourI have installed the Noctua cooler on a Ryzen 5 3600. While I am not overclocking it, I wanted a decent and silent CPU cooler option and this does the job perfectly as I cannot hear it. Temperature peaks at around 68C in summer while gaming, so I am fairly happy. Idle / low activity temperature stays around 35-45C.

> 24 hourCould not get it to more than 71 deg. C (during stress test to keep the CPU at 100% usage) and the fan peaked at 1290 RPM to keep it there. Also it is silent as hell.

> 24 hourI overclocked this CPU using this cooler, and guess what? The cooler never broke past 30 DEGREES Celsius during idling time! Im running a Pinnacle Ridge CPU from AMD, during heavy loads this CPU Cooler will keep your CPU under 50 Celsius! With proper ventilation, good PC fans (I have at least 7 fans running inside of the unit) this cooler will keep your CPU safe and sound, you just use the thermal paste that is supplied with this cooler and youre good to go. What more could you literally ask for if you want to keep your investment safe??

> 24 hourCe ventilateur AM4 est monté sur une AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT et rempli parfaitement son rôle en silence. Jai installé un second ventilateur en push-pull. Cest du Noctua donc les performances sont dun très haut niveau. le cpu atteint 4700 MHz sans soucis avec le mode PBO activé.

> 24 hourThis heatsink isnt easy on the eyes but it keeps my 5600x pretty damn cool and stays quiet. It was easy to install even for idiots like myself. I have not built a PC in over 8 years.

> 24 hourFantastic cooler. Virtually silent. Quite large though so make sure you have room in your case to fit it.

> 24 hourI am very impressed with the NH-U12S SE-AM4. Took under 10 mins to put it in and 20 mins using acetone (nothing else worked) to get the AMD tim off. Idle temps are 20c cooler and no fan in my system is making much noise now. With Prime 95 temps are 15c-20c lower and I can barely hear the fan unlike the Stock fan the 1600 came with.

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. |
