    I just installed this in a new build, and when I went to power the machine on, I pushed the power button and waited, and said aloud is this even on?, thinking that because I couldnt hear anything, the machine was off. Not the case - the fan is just that quiet. A later thermal stress test showed that it has absolutely no problems cooling an AMD Ryzen 5 3700.

    I dropped 22 degrees C with Ryzen 5 2600x using prime95. Went from 87c to 65c. Great cooler and very easy to install.

    Greater than one week

    I replaced my stock AMD Wraith cooler with this and have seen the temperature on my Ryzen 7 1700 lowered by over 15 C! It fits with comfortable clearance in my somewhat narrow case and the mounting brackets allow for effortless installation. Noctua really is leading the way in PC air cooling systems.

    Très bien... Attention aux dimensions... Avec un seul ventilateur largement suffisant

    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.

    All around worth the investment when on sale. Still worth the normal price. Great reduction in temps and runs quiet with pwm fans. Highly recommended for air cooling.

    Noctua non ha bisogno di presentazioni, è semplicemente il top, questa versione non è ingombrante come altre, ma fa il suo lavoro in modo impeccabile. Non lho ancora testato su overclock pesante ma sono sicuro che non deluderà le aspettative. Lo consiglio per i ryzen, il montaggio è estremamente semplice.

    Facilissimo da montare, ventola silenziosa, prestazioni quasi da raffreddamento a liquido.

    I always buy after market coolers, but typically aim in the $20-$30 range, but decided to splurge on this one as I heard such good things. I while playing Overwatch at 1440p, while streaming video and had some other apps running, I peaked at 58c, but was usually in the 40s. This is with a Meshify case. Overwatch might not be the best gauge, but I am impressed none the less with these temps. I was idling around 35c.

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.
