> 3 dayAs one who has worked with Cooler Masters for years and never really invested in a CPU fan more than $30, I decided to give Noctua a shot this time. Their performance is well known and frankly, the CM coolers for AM4 werent really in stock. Figured, what the heck...Ill splurge a little.

Greater than one weekApart from stock coolers this is one of the easiest cpu coolers I’ve mounted in the 10 years I’ve built pcs. Temps seem a bit better than the 212 evo and the included fan is amazing!!

> 3 dayIl miglior dissappatore che io abbia mai provato facile da installare tiene la CPU sempre a gradi standard permette anche di fare OC senza esssagerare fino a un 5% di prestazioni in più.

> 3 dayTrès satisfait du niveau de bruit et de lefficacité. Utilisé pour refroidir un Ryzen 7 1700X overclocké à 4 GHz, je le fais tourner à 20% (niveau de bruit TRES faible) puis à 50% quand le proc dépasse les 60° (en jeu) et à 100% sil dépasse 70°. Le proc ne dépasse à peu près jamais les 70 même après plusieurs heures de jeu. A 50%, le niveau de bruit est tout à fait satisfaisant, et il pourrait être à peu près inaudible en utilisation bureautique et avec un processeur non overclocké.

> 3 dayIve had this CPU cooler for 11 months now and I am very happy with it. It is absolutely silent, unless I open the case and put my ear close to it. It keeps my Ryzen 7 2700 at 29-31 degrees Celsius at idle and at about 38-42 degrees when playing high demanding games. Great product!

> 3 dayDe los pocos disipadores de CPU que a finales de 2017 traen en el paquete el kit de anclaje AM4 en lugar de tener que pedirlo a fabricante. Estupendos acabados y gran resultado con opción a ampliar a configuración push-pull con la compra de un segundo ventilador.

Greater than one weekAnche questa volta Noctua non si smentisce, proponendo un dissipatore per CPU Ryzen facile da montare, grazie al kit apposito per socket AM4, e silenzioso. Composto da un radiatore a torre e da una ventola da 12 cm di diametro, che svolge bene il proprio lavoro ottenendo temperature molto piú basse rispetto ai dissipatori AMD. Cé la possibilitá di installare una seconda ventola opzionale. Allinterno della confezione troviamo un tubetto di pasta termica Noctua, un cacciavite a stella a forma di L e tutto loccorrente per il montaggio. Le istruzioni sono semplici e chiare. Garanzia di 6 anni. Non presente il kit di montaggio per processori Intel o altri processori AMD.

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. |
