> 3 dayA cosa serve un AIO con sti dissipatori ? Ryzen 1700 a 3,9ghz a 1,4v in full load su tutti i core arrivo a 70°. Superlativo come sempre il meccanismo di fissaggio, in confronto marchi come be quiet! E cooler master sembrano idee malate uscite dalla mente di un pazzoide.

> 3 dayAlways trust noctua to deliver high quality cooling only at the cost of an ugly looking fan haha

> 3 dayMy Ryzen 5 2600 is sitting at 4.2 Ghz and barely over 65C on load. Most games run at about 60C. The mount might be a bit of a pain for some people but its pretty straight forward.

Greater than one weekIt does the thing it was claiming to be doing. Now the loudest thing is the MSI Radeon 6500XT right below it...

Greater than one weekThis product has everything you need and nothing you dont. It comes with mounting hardware specifically for the AMD AM4 CPU socket and no other sockets. It requires the backplate which comes preinstalled on the motherboard, so dont throw that away! Youll need it! It comes with a small tube of thermal paste and a metal decal for the front of the case. Everything you need! Even at full speed the fan is very quiet, especially after you put the side panels on the case.

> 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 dayInstallé dans un setup MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk avec un Ryzen 7 3700X, ce ventirad fait très bien le job en assurant une température stable tout en étant silencieux. Lemplacement des RAM est préservé, cest ce que je recherchais.

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. |
