> 24 hourho un case cooler master masterbox lite 5, questo case ha un grosso difetto, lairflow è molto scarso, per colpa delle poche prese daria frontali avevo, sotto stress, temperature della cpu (ryzen 5 2600 con dissipatore stock) che superavano i 75° e in alcuni giochi addirittura gli 80° e la gpu saliva fino a 75 gradi.

> 24 hourDissipatore per CPU, facile da montare molto silenzioso anche ad alte velocità, mi ha abbassato la temperatura di circa 10 gradi rispeto al dissipatore originale.

> 24 hourUsed for cooling a Ryzen 2600. Best air cooler Ive ever used - period. Idle temps: ~33C, load temps: ~40C, extreme load temps (all cpus at 100% for several minutes): ~56C. This is in a high air flow case with 3 120mm Noctua PWM case fans.

> 24 hourVery pleased with this cooler. CPU temp dropped from 49C with AMD stock cooler, to 37C. Also impressed with the thought that has gone into the package, as all ancillaries are supplied.

> 24 hourPurchased this for a Ryzen 3600/GTX 1660ti build on ROG Strix B550 mobo with 32 GB 3200 RAM & Samsung 2 TB SSD. It looks amazing and the doo doo brown fan is its own signal of quality. CPU temps run 31-34 F at idle, and spikes are 51-55 F. Spikes reduce to 38-40 F during load within 1 second of the Noctua fan curve kicking in. The fan is also very quiet. I daresay my LED case fans are louder.

> 24 hoursingle fan noctua ippc 2000 horizontal. ryzen 1700 oced [email protected]. idle 31c, prime95 70c (constant) 72c spike.arctic mx4 tim. Water is for plebs. I can do 4.0 at 1.42v but it idles at 35c, prime95 76c (constant) spike 80c. not worth the extra 100mhz. Im considering stepping back down to 3.8@ 1.15v. which is probably what im going to do.

> 24 hourWell designed cooler. Box did not contain AM4 kit! Had to order that separately once I discovered this. Amazon refunded me the price of the upgrade kit. Cooler installs easily and is very quiet.

> 24 hourCertainly one of the best coolers on the market. Its keeping an R7 1700 (3.8GHz on 1.368v) idling at 30-35C and 60-70C under load (25C room temp). Bear in mind, I added a second fan from a previous build to the heatsink which improved performance substantially.

> 24 hourEasy to install, noise level is quiet unless your running a very heavy cpu oriented program then the fan is noticeable. This cooler is sufficient for light over clocking but not if you want to push your system.

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. |
