20-12-2024I bought this for my Ryzen 7 3800XT cpu for my very first pc build. Keep in mind as you read this that I did the entire process for the first time, not just the installation of this fan.

20-12-2024Très facile à installer, mon processeur ne dépasse jamais les 29 degrés au repos, et ne va jamais à 60 degrés en jeu. Je le recommande autant pour une utilisation normale quune grosse utilisation, puisquil est garanti 6 ans !

> 3 dayWas considering an AIO but went with this air cooled solution instead. Doing a fantastic job keeping my R5 1600 cool and is extremely quiet. Since I have a case without window I dont see it, so I dont worry about the colour either.

> 3 dayExcellent ventirad, super refroidissement de CPU 65W & 95W. Le ventilateur monte à peine en régime, même à forte charge. Redoutablement silencieux et efficace. Testé avec un AMD R5-2600X (95W) et un Intel i7-8700 (65W).

> 3 dayAfter arguing with myself over whether I should air or water cool my new build and reading more reviews then I care to think of, I settled on this. Build quality is awesome and screams premium and fitted my case perfectly. As it says, it didnt impact any ram and the airflow is great, keeping my system running around 20 degrees Celsius idle and so far under load of video encoding its only been a high as 60 so more than sufficient. Amazing product and Id definitely buy more from noctua.

> 3 dayMy Ryzen 3600 was idling 55-70 with the VERY loud stock wraith cooler. The idle temp with the Noctua NH-U12S is 36-50, and its very quiet. I dont have amazing airflow either... case is a Corsair 110Q.

> 3 dayEl procesador AMD 3700X venía con su propio sistema de refrigeración, pero el ruido no era aceptable para mi, con este consigo un funcionamiento silencioso dentro de un margen aceptable de temperatura.

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. |
