Greater than one weekI was using a Noctua NH-L9i on my R7 1800X. Under full load when doing encoding tasks, I would get temps anywhere between 71 and 73C. I put the NH-U12S on today and now when doing those same tasks Im hovering right around 50-51C. This is definitely a better cooler. And it took all of about 10 minutes to install, no adapter brackets like with some of the Coolermaster coolers.

> 3 dayDal montaggio alla piena compatibilità in termini di spazio su alloggi RAM per chi impiega tutto sulla propria motherboard, questo Noctua modello U12S per AM4 (AMD Serie Ryzen) vi farà definitivamente dimenticare dellestetica del Wraith in favore della funzionalità e della durata dei componenti.

> 3 dayIt does the thing it was claiming to be doing. Now the loudest thing is the MSI Radeon 6500XT right below it...

> 3 dayChe dire? Noctua è sempre una scelta azzeccata per il raffreddamento. Nel mio caso dovevo applicare un raffreddamento tradizionale ad una cpu AMD Ryzen e cercavo una cosa affidabile, silenziosa e versatile. Nella Noctua ho trovato tutto questo, dalla semplicità dellinstallazione, alle spiegazioni estremamente dettagliate alla silenziosità. Articolo consigliato che acquisterò sicuramente in futuro per altre applicazioni.

> 3 dayThe noise level is quiet, the cooling is excellent, and installation was simple in comparison to other fans. I own a Gigabyte Gaming 3 with a Ryzen 5 CPU along with Corsair Vengeance RAMs. The fan installed completely fine in a NZXT S340 without any issues.

> 3 dayI thought the stock cooler would be fine, Ryzen 5. Was running at 50C at idle. 75-80C when playing Cities Skylines. From research this seemed to within specs. However I decided to install this to help with longevity. Now CPU temps are 30-35C idle and 55C with the same game running.

> 3 dayThis heat-sink is fantastic... cooling my Ryzen7 1700X to 45 C under 7/8 cores at 100% load mining crypto algorithms. Its also extremely quiet and, quite possibly, the easiest to install large heat-sink I have ever touched. I would recommend it to ANYONE looking for an easy to install / effective AM4 heat-sink.

> 3 dayI havent seen over 60 degrees even under full load, great bang for your buck.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 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 compatibilityThanks 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 fanRecommended 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 compoundHaving 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. |
