> 24 hourI use this cooler with my Ryzen 5 1600. Overclocked to 3.8GHz at 1.35v, I saw temperatures drop from 73c on stock cooler to around 61c in Aida64. I briefly OCd to 3.9 at 1.4125v and saw temps at around 64c. Very happy with this cooler.

> 24 hourCools my Ryzen 5 1600 much better than my Corsair H100i GTX and is much easier to mount and much much quieter. I highly recommend any of Noctua coolers in you need a cooler for your PC.

> 24 hourI replaced my stock AMD Wraith cooler with this and have seen the temperature on my Ryzen 7 1700 lowered by over 15 C! It fits with comfortable clearance in my somewhat narrow case and the mounting brackets allow for effortless installation. Noctua really is leading the way in PC air cooling systems.

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. |
