> 24 hourThat thing is big ! and quiet, and drop temp as well. I managed to fit it in my older deepcool case just couple mm below top end. It fix perfectly on to tomahawk max and its really simple to install without taking motherboard out or even removing back panel from case. After preforming couple benchmarks and few games its cooling ryzen5 3600 from over 85° on stock fan to max 70° with noctua on load. Compare to stock its whispering quiet. My gpu and psu are much louder.

> 24 hourVery efficient, silent and keep my CPU cool. The case Im using is the Fractal Design Define C, which is one of the most sound proof and, consequently, it gets warm/hot very fast. The CPU is the Ryzen 5 3600 (Zen 2), which is known to reach higher temperatures than the Zen 1 and Zen +. I needed a quiet and efficient fan that would go along with the airflow inside the case. The Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 was a perfect match.

> 24 hourKeeps my CPU amd 2700x 26-28 celsius while idle, and under load around 55-60 celsius. Im sure that if i had gotten their bigger coolers it would have done better, but comparing this to the temperatures of my brothers computer with an AIO, the NH-U12S does a pretty darn good job.

> 24 hourI am very impressed with the NH-U12S SE-AM4. Took under 10 mins to put it in and 20 mins using acetone (nothing else worked) to get the AMD tim off. Idle temps are 20c cooler and no fan in my system is making much noise now. With Prime 95 temps are 15c-20c lower and I can barely hear the fan unlike the Stock fan the 1600 came with.

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. |
