    El disipador va muy bien. Llevo tiempo montando Noctua en los PC y siempre cumplen, reduciendo las temperaturas unos 10 grados aproximadamente.

    Used this for my Ryzen 3600 which made a big difference in idle temp and max temp when stress testing and gaming. but im not fully confident it will handle ryzen 7 or ryzen 9 fully. Anyway the cooler, packaging, content is top notch premium. worth every quid you paid for.

    I originally bought a 212 LED turbo as i was happy with the Cooler Masters in the past. However, I was doing an AM4 build and that cooler only dissipates the air vertically, towards top of the case. Ultimately the orientation meant it did not fit over my memory cards with the heat spreaders. I bought this cooler with an additional fan and was amazed by the quietness. I mean whisper quiet. It fit as it includes a bracket solution to fit in any orientation.

    This cooler is well worth the money. I overclocked my Ryzen7 1700 to 3.7GHz, at 1.26v. At those settings, it would peak at about 70c, while running Prime95 small FFTS, with an ambient temperature of 30C(86f). It idles at around 40C. It was peaking at 73C, at stock clocks, with the Wraith Spire RGB. The fit and finish is also excellent. It feels great to get what you pay for.

    Brutto è brutto. Ma mi ha abbattuto le temperature del ryzen 3600 di 15 gradi circa. Consigliatissimo

    Ryzen 5 2600 Overclocked to 3.95Ghz. This cooler brought down my CPU temps by 31C compared to the stock cooler! A+++ This cooler gives you the option to add a second fan to cool even more, so I may go this route depending how Battlefield V temps behave :)

    My recent purchase of a PC left much to be desired for a cooling solution. While it was adequate for stock. It wasnt going to cut it for any Overclocking. This cooler cut my temps by around 20 degrees C on my overclocking.

    This cooler does an excellent job maintaining boost clocks on AMD. AMD has an issue getting heat from their chip to their chips heat spreader, but once it gets there, the U12S is more than capable of removing it.

    Just works. Do read the directions to orient it properly for your case. Works great in my mini-itx cube w/ front-to-back air flow on my AMD 2600. Very quiet.

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.
