    Alimentatore enorme e soprattutto efficace. Riesce a mantenere a temperature adeguate il processore e permette anche linserimento di una seconda ventola (da comprare a parte). I 120mm della ventola fanno un ottimo lavoro in termini di dissipazione del calore. Consiglio vivamente lacquisto.

    La verdad es que es un buen disipador. Absolutamente silencioso mientras el ventilador no gire a más de 600 rpm. A su velocidad máxima (1500rpm) e incluso pasando de 900 rpm sí hace mucho ruido.La velodidad máxima nunca ha llegado a alcanzarla porque mantiene a raya las temperaturas en mi Ryzen 5 3600.

    I 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.

    Im very happy with my Noctua NH-U1S. First of all, the product packaging is outstanding. It gave me a feeling immediately that this was a quality product.. Installation was extremely easy. I understand from things Ive read on tech sites that previous generations of AMD compatible motherboards could present difficulties mounting aftermarket CPU coolers. The newer generation Ryzen CPUs and motherboards dont seem to have as many issues with this. Installation took about 10 minutes, all the necessary parts came in the Noctua box. The radiator feels solid and well built, as does the single included fan. My only, tiny complaint is the wire clips that attach the fan to the radiator on the top and bottom. They are a bit flimsy which causes the fan to hang a bit low when mounted on the radiator. Maybe dock 1/4 star for that. My CPU temps hover between 25C and 30C when gaming or web surfing. If you are building a PC and are hesitant about using a closed loop water cooler, as I was, this is a great alternative.

    Perfetta! Proprio quello che cercavo: efficiente e silenziosissima

    Fa un lavoro egregio, riesce ad abbassare la temperatura del mio Ryzen 2600 X di circa 25% su ogni tipologia di carico. Lo ricomprerei a occhi chiusi

    La Noctua offre da anni i migliori dissipatori! semplici e silenziosi. Certo i colori possono lasciare un po a desiderare, ma la cosa importante di un dissipatore è raffreddare la cpu e questo Noctua, come anche gli altri modelli , fa il suo lavoro in modo eccellente sulla CPU ryzen 5 1600x. I gradi in idle oscillano tra i 30 con picchi a 42 per poi riscendere subito sui 30..temperature normali per i ryzen. Consiglio di usare il programma ryzen master, che da la temperatura giusta della CPU, non come hwmonitor o hwinfo che sballano di 20/25 gradi in più.

    Just amazing

    This guy is just a solid product that does what its supposed to do and does it very well. It took a Ryzen 5 5600X from 36 to 40 C at idle down to 26 C (a warm Spring afternoon). It went from 96 to 108 C under extreme load down to 56 to 58 C.

    Exactly the awesome performance I expect from Noctua. I am cooling a non-gaming Ryzen 5700G system I use for day-to-day professional work. I like my PC to be as close to silent as possible given I sit next to it for more than 8 hours per day. PC case is well-ventilated with two other Noctua 120MM fans spinning lazily in front and back. CPU is at a comfy 44C under normal workload. Fan spins at 815 RPM normally and 850 RPM under maximum Prime95 load, with the CPU ticking up just a few degrees. I literally cannot heat my CPU up.

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.
