    My recent purchase of a PC left much to be desired for a cooling solution. While it was adequate for stock. It wasnt going to cut it for any Overclocking. This cooler cut my temps by around 20 degrees C on my overclocking.

    I had the renowned CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo before this. I was on a tighter budget at the time. It was great at idle and medium load, but at full load it was more noticeable and easily contributes to the overall sound of the room. This one is absolutely impossible to hear until 80%-100% PWM and even then is 2/3 the noise of the CoolerMaster. It keeps my Ryzen cool enough not to warrant full power anyway. Definitely worth scrounging another thirty bucks and passing on the reliable old dog that is the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo.

    Easily the best 120mm tower fan cooler out their. Easy installation for the experienced, very high quality, dead silent even at moderate speeds, and has provisions for an additional fan. Does not interfere with ram at all on pretty much any standard motherboard. This is as big as I will go for air cooling, as it weighs over 800 grams which is more than the recommended amount by AMD and Intel socket retention systems. Anything more can stress the board and moving the computer with larger tower coolers is a big no-no (even Noctua acknowledges this). Has tons of headroom for my overclocked Ryzen 2600. Unless you are doing some extreme overclocking on the higher-end chips, you dont need anything more.

    I thought this would just fit in the small form factor computer I was building and indeed it did. Theres enough space around it that installation was not difficult.

    De los pocos disipadores de CPU que a finales de 2017 traen en el paquete el kit de anclaje AM4 en lugar de tener que pedirlo a fabricante. Estupendos acabados y gran resultado con opción a ampliar a configuración push-pull con la compra de un segundo ventilador.

    Anche impostando una velocità della ventola molto bassa è efficientissimo.

    Bon produit assez silencieux et efficace.Toutefois le système daccroche du ventilateur sur le radiateur parait sommaire.A monter dans une tour suffisamment grande!!

    Votre microprocesseur de PC sera bien frais et ce dans le plus grand silence. Cest tout simplement merveilleux et magique. (entre 28 et 34 degrés maximum pour un Ryzen 5 2700X). Très grande solidité (jen avais déjà acheté un il y a 4 ans et il reste silencieux tout en refroidissant au maximum). Cest le grand luxe, la pâte thermique est fournie avec, il y a un tournevis, de nombreux accessoires. Noctua cest la Rolls Royce du PC!

    Always use Noctua fans and coolers in my builds they may be slightly more expensive but well worth it for the ultra quiet cooling.

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.
