> 3 dayI used this to cool a Ryzen 2600X on AMD motherboard,it works as advertised ,except for the one side fan I could not use.But I have enough fans to cool the case and keep CPU at 37c at idle.It is easy to install.

> 3 dayThe noise level is quiet, the cooling is excellent, and installation was simple in comparison to other fans. I own a Gigabyte Gaming 3 with a Ryzen 5 CPU along with Corsair Vengeance RAMs. The fan installed completely fine in a NZXT S340 without any issues.

> 3 dayNoctua non ha bisogno di presentazioni, è semplicemente il top, questa versione non è ingombrante come altre, ma fa il suo lavoro in modo impeccabile. Non lho ancora testato su overclock pesante ma sono sicuro che non deluderà le aspettative. Lo consiglio per i ryzen, il montaggio è estremamente semplice.

Greater than one weekInutile 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.

> 3 dayThis was easy to install into a Micro ATX case (masterbox QL300) onto an Asus Mobo b450m. Theres room for my ram and about .25 of space to the side of the case from the top of the cooler. I use the stock settings to cool my CPU, I dont hear the CPU fan almost never unless Im doing some bench tests. CPU temp idle and low workload (chrome and maybe photoshop) between 38-42c. when I OC and bench test its 68-71ish. My mobo isnt so strong so I just keep everything typically stock. I bought this cooler for potential future proof air cooling.. I need to upgrade my mobo and cpu I have no doubts this cooler will be sufficient for many years, and you can add another cooler for push/pull if desired. People dont like the tan/brown-red look.. but its not that big of a deal when you have a dark window.. still looks clean, they make replacement fans in different colors, Im sticking with stock.

Greater than one weekla mise en place a été bien plus simple que sur ma carte mère FM3+, noctua semble avoir fait de gros efforts sur le modèle AM4. le refroidissement est vraiment parfait et très silencieux. un bon investissement, je recommande chaudement.

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. |
