    The temperatures will vary on your setup/case, etc. But I overclock my Ryzen 5 to 4.4ghz, and while gamming with high settings my temps will never exceed 70 degrees Celsius! this cooler rocks!

    So overall once I was able to get it installed , which alone was a little tricky but not impossible its been just the bees knees . Excellent cooler not loud at all even at full power , in my opinion . Only thing I have to be upset about is the fact I didnt get the dual fan cooler ! Replaced my stock stealth AMD cooler with this one , while gaming Im seeing easily 10°c cooler then the stock AMD fan .

    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.

    Its a heat pipe cooler. Works fine. Installation is easy with a functional bracket system. No clips means a more secure connection. Dropped temperatures about 10-15C. Cabling is not that great with unneeded sleeves and generally fair workmanship. Sleeve is annoyingly wax impregnated for some reason. I know that these are mass produced but a little more quality control rather then gamer appeal would have been nice.

    Its ultra quiet, keeps my ryzen 1700x temperatures in the 20s at idle, never touches 50 when stressed. It was easy to install, with clear instructions and a wealth of parts for different configs. This is the one part of my whole system that works above any expectations and without any tinkering after installation. I was just going though the list of parts it took to build it, and realized this noctua cooler is the one Ive never had to think about. Just buy it

    Installation instructions were crystal clear but when it comes to the springs for mounting with the screws, I had quite a bit of trouble with it. Overall, still a great product.

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.
