    La foto non gli rende giustizia: è bellissimo. La grandezza e il peso mettono un po timore ma in realtà è molto semplice da installare. Silenzioso ed efficiente

    10C cooler than the AMD wraith cooler that came with my 3700x and nearly silent. Very pleased.

    Noctua is the beat. Never hesitate to use their coolers. It may be trivial but I wish they would offer different color schemes for their coolers.

    4 stars just because I dont know anyone who likes those colors and getting one in black costs an extra $10. Seriously thats so dumb. Just charge what youre going to charge for it and give people the option of what color they want. This $10 cheaper version with ugly colors just makes no sense. That said this is an awesome cooler and Im planning on using the same one on my next build (just going to buy the black one this time). It would be really nice if Noctua gave you the choice of cooler finish (chrome or black) and fan color. I actually like the look of what I did with my last build where Ive got the chrome finished cooler with a black fan. The problem is that you have to buy a second fan to do this, and if you care about aesthetics youre going to have a really nice noctua fan sitting there doing nothing for you because its poop brown.

    Main 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.

    I bought this for my Ryzen 7 3800XT cpu for my very first pc build. Keep in mind as you read this that I did the entire process for the first time, not just the installation of this fan.

    This CPU cooler is amazing, its whisper quiet and cools almost as good as a closed loop water cool system for less then half the price. But it is large, so make sure you case can fit it. Also not a huge fan of the brown/tan cooler scheme. Would prefer black. Very easy to install.

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.
