> 3 dayI thought the stock cooler would be fine, Ryzen 5. Was running at 50C at idle. 75-80C when playing Cities Skylines. From research this seemed to within specs. However I decided to install this to help with longevity. Now CPU temps are 30-35C idle and 55C with the same game running.

> 3 dayChe noctua sia noctua è risaputo. Ma qui si superano le aspettative. Nella confezione cè tutto ciò che serve, ma proprio tutto, persino il giravite a croce!!! Montaggio semplicissimo. Unica nota....il dissipatore è davvero enorme, non ci avevo badato, per fortuna nel mio aerocool ds230 ci è entrato, ma per poco!!! Con le ram invece nessun problema, il suo rialzo te le fa scordare, puoi girarlo come vuoi e non le tocca!!!

Greater than one weekFácil de montar y con estos calores un ryzen 5 lo mantiene a 30° y con test de estrés no pasa de 60°. Vale el precio que pagas.

> 3 dayNoctua makes great quality coolers. Im not a big fan of AIO coolers and this keeps my cpu in the 45c range when gaming with a slight OC. more then enough for the average user, a NH- D15 cooler would be standard if you are looking to push your OC further.

Greater than one weekReally happy with purchase. I got it for my 2700X when the stock cooler started making funny noises , and couldnt be happier. Much quieter, more consistent, and significant reduction in temps (Prime95 running at 65C at 4.0GHz vs 75C at 3.9GHz on stock)

> 3 dayI originally bought a 212 LED turbo as i was happy with the Cooler Masters in the past. However, I was doing an AM4 build and that cooler only dissipates the air vertically, towards top of the case. Ultimately the orientation meant it did not fit over my memory cards with the heat spreaders. I bought this cooler with an additional fan and was amazed by the quietness. I mean whisper quiet. It fit as it includes a bracket solution to fit in any orientation.
Continuing the legacy of Noctua’s classic NH-U-series, the NH-U12S has become a benchmark for slim, highly compatible 120mm single tower coolers. The SE-AM4 version is a dedicated special edition for AMD’s AM4/AM5 (Ryzen) platform, featuring the latest SecuFirm2 mounting system for AM4/AM5. Topped off with the renowned quiet NF-F12 PWM 120mm fan, and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12S SE-AM4 forms a complete premium-quality solution that combines outstanding performance, superb acoustics and excellent compatibility for AM4/AM5 systems.

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. |
