> 24 hourIve never used any other air cooler than the stock cooler that comes with an AMD CPU, so I cant compare it to other brands, but my experience with this cooler has been nothing but awesome! Its very easy to install!

> 24 hourEl procesador AMD 3700X venía con su propio sistema de refrigeración, pero el ruido no era aceptable para mi, con este consigo un funcionamiento silencioso dentro de un margen aceptable de temperatura.

> 24 hourLowered the temps on my Ryzen 5 1600 by about 15c at load when compared to the stock cooler. Its super quiet as well. With my case open and sitting next to it it is barely audible. Great purchase and would recommend it to anyone with an AM4 socket chip.

> 24 hourNoctua rimane una sicurezza per i sistemi di raffreddamento. Primo dissipatore della casa nativo per i nuovi socket AM4 di amd. Compatibile con le nuove schede madri uscite con tale socket. Il radiatore e la ventola da 120mm fanno il loro lavoro egregiamente, mantenendo la cpu attorno ai 30°C anche sotto carico leggero....Il sistema risponde bene anche sotto sforzo, grazie alla sua ventola PWM configurabile sia tramite i vari bios, sia dalle utility delle schede madri. La ventola è molto silenziosa e quando viene portata al massimo degli rpm non diventa rumorosa o fastidiosa.

> 24 hourIf you can afford it, go Noctua. I cant think of any downsides to this CPU cooler other than the higher price. For me, the improved mounting system alone made it a better option than the Hyper 212.

> 24 hourI love this CPU cooler, dropped my temps to like 28degC while in the basement (room temp around 22degC) at idle. Works like a charm!

> 24 hournoctua non delude affatto, può non piacere il colore tipico ma con 50 euro fa lo stesso lavoro di aio che costano il triplo

> 24 hourThis is an extremely quite fan on this heatsink. The mounting system is very flexible for your application and is easy to assemble. The kit comes with everything you need including heatsink compound and even a screw driver.

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. |
