> 24 hourThis cooler does an excellent job maintaining boost clocks on AMD. AMD has an issue getting heat from their chip to their chips heat spreader, but once it gets there, the U12S is more than capable of removing it.

> 24 hourAlways use Noctua fans and coolers in my builds they may be slightly more expensive but well worth it for the ultra quiet cooling.

> 24 hourNice fan and quite. Fit well on my 1800s on my MSI X370 Titanium MB. Clears the 4 dims and just about a centimeter from the glass on my S340 elite case. Idle temps around 37c and when hot, low 70c.

> 24 hourQuesto dissipatore è semplicemente eccezionale. Le mie temperature sono scese di 15 gradi, facendo girare la ventola al 50%. Davvero consigliatissimo, soprattutto per cpu che scaldano molto come i Ryzen.

> 24 hourThis thing is great for keeping my cpu cool. Idle temps are at 32-33 and when i’m just regularly using my pc, it’s about 34-36.

> 24 hourVeramente di qualità e ben accessoriato. In Windows non si sente nulla, in game la ventola non arriva nemmeno al massimo. E veramente performante e silenzioso. Ci sta al pelo nel mio case con mobo micro-ATX. Meglio quindi prenderlo se avete un case ATX, così linstallazione è più comoda e non rischia di toccare altre componenti. Ho sia questo che la versione L9x65 e sono entrambi ottimi prodotti di qualità.

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. |

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. |
