> 24 hourJust works. Do read the directions to orient it properly for your case. Works great in my mini-itx cube w/ front-to-back air flow on my AMD 2600. Very quiet.

> 24 hourI was using a Noctua NH-L9i on my R7 1800X. Under full load when doing encoding tasks, I would get temps anywhere between 71 and 73C. I put the NH-U12S on today and now when doing those same tasks Im hovering right around 50-51C. This is definitely a better cooler. And it took all of about 10 minutes to install, no adapter brackets like with some of the Coolermaster coolers.

> 24 hourCompré un 3700X y primero intenté usar el ventilador que viene de serie (Wraith Prism). La temperatura con tests de carga oscilaba mucho (en algunos test más exigentes como Aida64 incluso superaba los 90 grados) y jugando se ponía a unos 78-80 grados, pero lo peor es que el ventilador era muy ruidoso, por lo que empecé a mirar alternativas de disipadores por aire y dí con este Noctua no puedo estar más contento.

> 24 hourInstallé dans un setup MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk avec un Ryzen 7 3700X, ce ventirad fait très bien le job en assurant une température stable tout en étant silencieux. Lemplacement des RAM est préservé, cest ce que je recherchais.

> 24 hourLa calidad se paga, funciona excelentemente rebajando las temperaturas entre 10 y 15 grados con respecto al original wraith spire en un ryzen overclockeado.

> 24 hourVery easy to install in my Fractal Meshify-C case, keeps my ryzen 5 3600 nice and cool on a constant 4.2ghz overclock. idles around 37 degrees celcius, under load barely ever hits 50.

> 24 hourI have a Ryzen 5 3600. Every review I read said AMDs stock coolers were pretty good. What those reviews failed to mention is that its also a pain to install and that pretty good means idle temps of 52 C in a 75 F room. The Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 is super easy to install and my idle temps are now 36 C. Im very happy!

> 24 hourInstalled this on my 3900x. Using offset voltage of -0.1. Prime 95 temps over 10 hours stable, max temp 76 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. |
