    Ce ventirad reste inaudible sur le Ryzen 7 première génération (14 nm) que jai monté sur un PC cet hiver.

    I was sick of the controller on my corsair watercooler constantly malfunctioning. I decided to roll-back to something less touchy, and Noctua does this the best. I dont OC, so my 1700x runs just fine at basically zero noise with this thing. Quite the departure from the malfunctioning corsair cooler that would ramp up pump and fans at random when the controller kept falling over.

    single fan noctua ippc 2000 horizontal. ryzen 1700 oced [email protected]. idle 31c, prime95 70c (constant) 72c spike.arctic mx4 tim. Water is for plebs. I can do 4.0 at 1.42v but it idles at 35c, prime95 76c (constant) spike 80c. not worth the extra 100mhz. Im considering stepping back down to 3.8@ 1.15v. which is probably what im going to do.

    Mi sono trovato a chiedermi quanta attenzione ai dettagli si possa mettere nella realizzazione di un componente (un dissipatore per CPU) generalmente anonimo. Pensavo che più o meno si assomigliassero tutti, ma mi sbagliavo. Il Noctua che ho preso è ottimo, robusto, elegante. Funziona perfettamente e ne consiglierei decisamente lacquisto a chiunque abbia qualche soldo da spendere per un dissipatore.

    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.

    I had the renowned CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo before this. I was on a tighter budget at the time. It was great at idle and medium load, but at full load it was more noticeable and easily contributes to the overall sound of the room. This one is absolutely impossible to hear until 80%-100% PWM and even then is 2/3 the noise of the CoolerMaster. It keeps my Ryzen cool enough not to warrant full power anyway. Definitely worth scrounging another thirty bucks and passing on the reliable old dog that is the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo.

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.
