    No hace apenas ruido, es muy fácil de montar, y no da ningún problema si la caja es lo suficientemente grande. Yo lo tengo con un 1800x y va perfecto

    Marche super bien avec un AMD Ryzen 1700x pas de bruit en utilisation classique et sur des jeux ou des applications lourdes on ne lentend quà peine.

    It keeps the temps of my Ryzen 1800x under control and like my other Noctua fans, its whisper quiet. The mounting system was a breeze to use and it comes with plenty of thermal compound. Highly recommended!!

    Lowered the temps on my Ryzen 5 1600 by about 15c at load when compared to the stock cooler. Its super quiet as well. With my case open and sitting next to it it is barely audible. Great purchase and would recommend it to anyone with an AM4 socket chip.

    Dropped the idle temps on my Ryzen 5 by 10 degrees C. Dropped the temps by over 20c under load and quiet as can be. More reliable than water coolers.

    Ho optato per questo modello minore rispetto al mastodontico NH-D15 SE-AM4 (orientato a chi cerca davvero le massime prestazioni come raffreddamento ad aria) e non me ne pento affatto, nonostante lindecisione iniziale. Svolge egregiamente il suo compito di raffreddare un Ryzen 1700X. Un perfetto bilanciamento tra prestazioni, dimensioni e usabilità. Installazione semplicissima grazie anche alle ottime istruzioni fornite. Non crea assolutamente problemi con le memorie. La qualità sia del dissipatore che della ventola in dotazione è la solita che contraddistingue i prodotti Noctua, ovvero eccezionale.

    Anche impostando una velocità della ventola molto bassa è efficientissimo.

    Che 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!!!

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.
