> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourRuidoso, voluminoso y y poco atractivo. EFECTIVO Y DE FÁCIL MONTAJE. Cuando lo desenpaquete tuve miedo de que no entrase en la caja, pero entro justito, y el montaje resultó muy sencillo, incluyendo poner la pasta térmica que trae. Mi procesador HA REDUCIDO DE 93-94°C a un MÁXIMO DE 77°C en las situaciones más exigentes. Contento con la CALIDAD/PRECIO.

> 24 hourNoctua products are great and this one is excellent if you need a midrange cooler for a smaller-medium build. Good installation and great performance.

> 24 hourI love this CPU cooler, dropped my temps to like 28degC while in the basement (room temp around 22degC) at idle. Works like a charm!

> 24 hourInstalled this on my brand new 5600X. Immediate drop of 18 degrees Celsius from stock cooler on idle. The stock wraith cooler works but has a weird buzz. After installing this My pc is nearly silent. Extremely happy to upgrade and a great price. I do some mild overclocking and this cooler doesnt miss a beat. I have had Noctua products before and this lives up to expectations I have come to expect from this brand.

> 24 hourWorks perfectly for my Ryzen 1700. I also had another fan for a push/pull configuration. Overclocked to 4.0 Ghz and never have any heating issues. Great product company.

> 24 hourItem clearly states AM4 compatibility in the title, but did not come with AM4 hardware. Your options are to fill out a form and wait up to two weeks for noctua to send you one for free or just buy it off Amazon.

> 24 hourPer me la silenziosità e lefficienza sono più importanti della comodità e dellestetica. Consigliato.

> 24 hourMy recent purchase of a PC left much to be desired for a cooling solution. While it was adequate for stock. It wasnt going to cut it for any Overclocking. This cooler cut my temps by around 20 degrees C on my overclocking.

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. |
