> 3 dayFantastic cooler with included fantastic thermal paste! Although its fairly large, it still allows ample room for the G.Skill TridentZ RGB ram on the ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard.

> 3 dayEl procesador AMD 3700X venía con su propio sistema de refrigeración, pero el ruido no era aceptable para mi, con este consigo un funcionamiento silencioso dentro de un margen aceptable de temperatura.

> 3 dayIve bought a bunch of CPU coolers and case fans from Noctua over the last few years, and I think I will continue to. This unit was the largest I could fit into my mITX case and its been great. Quiet and efficient, just what I want for a lounge room PC build. You pay a little extra for Noctua quality, but you probably be able to put it in your next PC, given the longevity of their equipment. Definitely recommended.

Greater than one weekInfinitely excellent. havent seen it above 54C while my OC Ryzen 1600 @ 3.8ghz mining cryptoknight on 8 threads, running a wallet, watching shows (hardware acceleration (GPU busy mining scrypt10)), and browsing the internet.

10-06-2025Tengo un Ryzen 1700 y tanto en test de estrés como pruebas de renderizando (es para lo que uso el ordenador, aparte de jugar), siempre con el micro al 100% me han bajado las temperaturas 14°C.

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. |
