> 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.

Greater than one weekI built an upgraded high end creator/gaming PC in the Thermaltake Commander (C34 model) and outfitted it with 2 Noctua 200mm / 2 140mm and 3 120mm fans (two on Noctua U12 cooler). My overclocked Ryzen 9 has zero problems with heat with no water cooling, and is still very quiet.

Greater than one weekApart from stock coolers this is one of the easiest cpu coolers I’ve mounted in the 10 years I’ve built pcs. Temps seem a bit better than the 212 evo and the included fan is amazing!!

> 3 dayLa Noctua offre da anni i migliori dissipatori! semplici e silenziosi. Certo i colori possono lasciare un po a desiderare, ma la cosa importante di un dissipatore è raffreddare la cpu e questo Noctua, come anche gli altri modelli , fa il suo lavoro in modo eccellente sulla CPU ryzen 5 1600x. I gradi in idle oscillano tra i 30 con picchi a 42 per poi riscendere subito sui 30..temperature normali per i ryzen. Consiglio di usare il programma ryzen master, che da la temperatura giusta della CPU, non come hwmonitor o hwinfo che sballano di 20/25 gradi in più.

> 3 dayLooked nice I guess, will never know as they failed to send the correct item I ordered (no AM4 hardware). Stars--. Time to give the Cryorig H5 a try.

> 3 dayVotre 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!

Greater than one weekInstalled on a Ryzen 5 5600X. Idle and in game temps drop ~15°c. Definitely quieter than stock AMD cooler.

> 3 dayI used this on my Asus Strix B350-F AM4 motherboard with a Ryzen 1200. It keeps it at around 63 degrees Celsius running prime95 at 3.85Ghz, at an ambient temp of around 28 degrees Celsius. I switched the fan though to a 2,000 rpm Noctua ippc fan.The install is very easy and secure compared to other tower heat sinks Ive used in the past. The quality of this heat sink is worth the extra cost compared to other lower priced options.

> 3 dayPaired with my Ryzen 5 1600, I get really low temps even with an OC, and the installation instructions/materials were easy to use and understand.Great Product!

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. |
