    Inutile girarci attorno. Il prodotto è veramente un top di gamma in tutto a partire dalla confezione. La dotazione degli accessori è impressionante perchè dai, diciamocelo, in un kit per un dissipatore chi ti da anche un cacciavite a L di 17cm? La fornitura è curata nei minimi dettagli.

    Very pleased with this cooler. CPU temp dropped from 49C with AMD stock cooler, to 37C. Also impressed with the thought that has gone into the package, as all ancillaries are supplied.

    Ive never used any other air cooler than the stock cooler that comes with an AMD CPU, so I cant compare it to other brands, but my experience with this cooler has been nothing but awesome! Its very easy to install!

    Im very happy with my Noctua NH-U1S. First of all, the product packaging is outstanding. It gave me a feeling immediately that this was a quality product.. Installation was extremely easy. I understand from things Ive read on tech sites that previous generations of AMD compatible motherboards could present difficulties mounting aftermarket CPU coolers. The newer generation Ryzen CPUs and motherboards dont seem to have as many issues with this. Installation took about 10 minutes, all the necessary parts came in the Noctua box. The radiator feels solid and well built, as does the single included fan. My only, tiny complaint is the wire clips that attach the fan to the radiator on the top and bottom. They are a bit flimsy which causes the fan to hang a bit low when mounted on the radiator. Maybe dock 1/4 star for that. My CPU temps hover between 25C and 30C when gaming or web surfing. If you are building a PC and are hesitant about using a closed loop water cooler, as I was, this is a great alternative.

    I bought this cooler to replace the stock cooler on my AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU. Im not a gamer so the computer is primarily for business software. I built the computer a few months back and it was very noisy. So I decided to replace the two noisiest components, the power supply and the cooler. First I replaced the power supply since that was the louder of the two. I went for “Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 750W 80+ Gold SLI/Crossfire Ready Ultra Quiet 140mm Hydraulic Bearing Smart Zero Fan Full Modular Power Supply 10 Year Warranty PS-TPD-0750FNFAGU-1 “ This is a fantastic PS, absolutely quiet..5 dB till about 60% (i.e. 450 Watts of quiet power). After replacing the PS, the stock cooler noise became even more irritating. I researched a few different coolers, most of which were in $40-50 range but had a little more noise levels. Since I wanted a very quiet one, I decided to go for Noctau brand based on reviews I had read an a few different websites. I selected Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 primarily because it is meant for AM4 processors.. This is a BIG cooler, so I looked up for compatibility with my hardware. Even though my motherboard (Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite) did not show up on the list, I measured the space required for the cooler and found it could easily fit.

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.
