> 3 dayUno dei dissipatori ad aria migliore in circolazione per pc di fascia media. Sebbene la sua grandezza mi ha inizialmente spaventato, svolge il maniera encomiabile il suo lavoro ed il rumore è quasi impercettibile.

> 3 dayThis cooler is doing a fantastic job keeping my Ryzen 1700x cool. I have a few other fans going, but nothing extreme(5 fans including this one, 2 came with case and I purchased an additional 2), and keeping temps around 33-36C idle, and under load about 50-53C.

> 3 dayThis CPU cooler is amazing, its whisper quiet and cools almost as good as a closed loop water cool system for less then half the price. But it is large, so make sure you case can fit it. Also not a huge fan of the brown/tan cooler scheme. Would prefer black. Very easy to install.

17-12-2024That thing is big ! and quiet, and drop temp as well. I managed to fit it in my older deepcool case just couple mm below top end. It fix perfectly on to tomahawk max and its really simple to install without taking motherboard out or even removing back panel from case. After preforming couple benchmarks and few games its cooling ryzen5 3600 from over 85° on stock fan to max 70° with noctua on load. Compare to stock its whispering quiet. My gpu and psu are much louder.

Greater than one weekAnche questa volta Noctua non si smentisce, proponendo un dissipatore per CPU Ryzen facile da montare, grazie al kit apposito per socket AM4, e silenzioso. Composto da un radiatore a torre e da una ventola da 12 cm di diametro, che svolge bene il proprio lavoro ottenendo temperature molto piú basse rispetto ai dissipatori AMD. Cé la possibilitá di installare una seconda ventola opzionale. Allinterno della confezione troviamo un tubetto di pasta termica Noctua, un cacciavite a stella a forma di L e tutto loccorrente per il montaggio. Le istruzioni sono semplici e chiare. Garanzia di 6 anni. Non presente il kit di montaggio per processori Intel o altri processori AMD.
Continuing the legacy of Noctua’s classic NH-U-series, the NH-U12S has become a benchmark for slim, highly compatible 120mm single tower coolers. The SE-AM4 version is a dedicated special edition for AMD’s AM4/AM5 (Ryzen) platform, featuring the latest SecuFirm2 mounting system for AM4/AM5. Topped off with the renowned quiet NF-F12 PWM 120mm fan, and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12S SE-AM4 forms a complete premium-quality solution that combines outstanding performance, superb acoustics and excellent compatibility for AM4/AM5 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. |
