> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI hate noise. I love Noctua. I replace fans in most of my equipment with Noctua fans. I can no longer hear my CPU so thats 1 item off the list.

> 3 dayThe 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!

> 3 dayMain goal was to overclock my CPU as far as it can go. I did not think it would be a very good idea to do it on an air cooler, however this one is a very competent one, and does the job ( ryzen 5 2600 - furthest I could push it is 1.42V, 4.15 Ghz, at 82-84°C; temps get even lower at - 1.37V, 3.95 GHz, at 74.5°C at full sinth. load ). At stock or at a lower clock on the CPU this cooler maintains (depending on the CPU that is) 29-32°C at idle, and around 49-56°C at full load. Noice levels are OK. These are results from my personal use of the cooler. Even the thermal paste that comes with the cooler is good. All around the installation was easy enough. Everything, including the tools that you would need to mount it and some spare parts come in the box. Perfect for AM4 motherboards and mid tower cases.

> 3 dayI recently built a PC with the new Ryzen 5 3600 Zen 2 chip, so I knew I needed a good cooler (to get good boost clock performance). But above all, I wanted a *quiet* PC. So I got this Noctua cooler, and I am incredibly pleased!

Greater than one weekAMD Ryzen 5 2600 con frecuencias stock. Con el Cooler Stock, en juegos rondaba los 70c de temperatura. Con este Noctua rondo los 50c y no llego a 55c. Es una autentica bestia este cooler. Recomiendo este disipador incluso para OC moderado.

> 3 dayReconozco que es un poco caro pero se instala de manera muy profesional y queda muy bien fijado, permite 2 posiciones, lo cual es una ventaja por si no te cabe la RAM por altura.

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. |
