> 24 hourLooked nice I guess, will never know as they failed to send the correct item I ordered (no AM4 hardware). Stars--. Time to give the Cryorig H5 a try.

> 24 hourLove the design and small form factor of this cooler. Have it mounted on a mini ITX motherboard inside a NZXT H210i. No clearance issues with RAM or side glass. Can fit another fan on the rear for even more cooling power. The only squeeze is with the top fan, which is a normal size Noctua. Though that’s mostly due to the small case and the fact that I could use a thinner profile fan but chose not to.

> 24 hourDopo 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.

> 24 hourI use this cooler with my Ryzen 5 1600. Overclocked to 3.8GHz at 1.35v, I saw temperatures drop from 73c on stock cooler to around 61c in Aida64. I briefly OCd to 3.9 at 1.4125v and saw temps at around 64c. Very happy with this cooler.

> 24 hourVery easy install, with some of the best thermal past around. Seriously, the fan runs at 800 rpm on Prime 95 at stock. Never gets about 58c on my Ryzen 2600. Rpms at idle 350. You seriously cant hear this thing. Even when rendering in Daz 3d Im unable to hear it spin up. Just a spectacular heatsink and fan. From top to bottom, the engineering on these is so good. If you want one of the best air cooling solutions. Look no further. Did I mention how quiet it was? I have nerve damage in one ear and NOTHING is ever quiet to me. But, this is. Fabulous piece of hardware. I have no regrets at all.

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. |
