> 3 dayUsed for cooling a Ryzen 2600. Best air cooler Ive ever used - period. Idle temps: ~33C, load temps: ~40C, extreme load temps (all cpus at 100% for several minutes): ~56C. This is in a high air flow case with 3 120mm Noctua PWM case fans.

Greater than one weekChe 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.

Greater than one weekNice quite fan, has great hard ware plus great packaging for the hardware, easy to install (given you dont put the mount brackets upside down first even though it clearly says this side up) seems to be doing good with all initial testing. Will full out another review once I start overclocking and playing video games.

> 3 dayReading the reviews I was concerned it may not cool enough for overclocking my Ryzen 5 2600. Decided to try it due to the price point. However it’s doing a fantastic job, even with one fan installed (you can add a second) I was able to reach 4.1 ghz on the usual 3.4 ghz CPU and remain under 70°C even at 100% for ten minutes in real world testing. A bonus is the very small if not no noise the fan makes. Only downside is the ugly brown!

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. |
