> 3 dayThis is an extremely quite fan on this heatsink. The mounting system is very flexible for your application and is easy to assemble. The kit comes with everything you need including heatsink compound and even a screw driver.

> 3 daySo overall once I was able to get it installed , which alone was a little tricky but not impossible its been just the bees knees . Excellent cooler not loud at all even at full power , in my opinion . Only thing I have to be upset about is the fact I didnt get the dual fan cooler ! Replaced my stock stealth AMD cooler with this one , while gaming Im seeing easily 10°c cooler then the stock AMD fan .

Greater than one weekI always buy after market coolers, but typically aim in the $20-$30 range, but decided to splurge on this one as I heard such good things. I while playing Overwatch at 1440p, while streaming video and had some other apps running, I peaked at 58c, but was usually in the 40s. This is with a Meshify case. Overwatch might not be the best gauge, but I am impressed none the less with these temps. I was idling around 35c.

Greater than one weekRelatively silent, and very performant. Very easy to install with the manual as you only need to work on one side of the motherboard.

> 3 dayPrimo noctua. Stupito dalla semplicità di montaggio. Kit completo di tutto. Con le temperature esterne attuali . Rispetto allo stock ho guadagnato 12 15 gradi.. su un ryzen 1600. In full a 3699 3799 arriva a 59 gradi. Ottimo acquisto.

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. |
