> 3 day...and therefore they are a great value for the money. Six year warranty and fans with 150,000 hours MTBF cant be beat.

> 3 dayI wanted something quieter and more efficient than the stock Wraith Stealth cooler that came in the box with my AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU. I considered all available air coolers. I read a lot of reviews before making my final decision and the Noctua NH-U12S was my first choice. This CPU cooler is one of the best out there. I installed a second Noctua NF-F12 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan on it using the extra mounting clips which came in the box with this cooler and my CPU runs very cool and quiet! Dont hesitate if you need a very good air cooler. The Noctua NH-U12S is the best available choice and it will not break your budget.

> 3 dayLho acquistato dopo aver restituito un ARCTIC FREEZER 33 PLUS riscontrando che non copriva tutta la superficie del processore AM4 RYZEN, questo NOCTUA dissipatore invece lo fa e così devessere a mio parere.

> 3 dayI am very impressed with the NH-U12S SE-AM4. Took under 10 mins to put it in and 20 mins using acetone (nothing else worked) to get the AMD tim off. Idle temps are 20c cooler and no fan in my system is making much noise now. With Prime 95 temps are 15c-20c lower and I can barely hear the fan unlike the Stock fan the 1600 came with.

> 3 dayChe dire? Noctua è sempre una scelta azzeccata per il raffreddamento. Nel mio caso dovevo applicare un raffreddamento tradizionale ad una cpu AMD Ryzen e cercavo una cosa affidabile, silenziosa e versatile. Nella Noctua ho trovato tutto questo, dalla semplicità dellinstallazione, alle spiegazioni estremamente dettagliate alla silenziosità. Articolo consigliato che acquisterò sicuramente in futuro per altre applicazioni.

> 3 dayI recently built a PC with the new Ryzen 5 3600 Zen 2 chip, so I knew I needed a good cooler (to get good boost clock performance). But above all, I wanted a *quiet* PC. So I got this Noctua cooler, and I am incredibly pleased!

Greater than one weekNo hace absolutamente nada de ruido. Si no fuera por el movimiento de las aspas no parecería que funcionase.

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. |
