    Very silent, very well built. Does come with thermal paste (noctuas brand)

    Installation very straightforward with many instillation options. Temps on a modestly overclocked Ryzen 7 2700 went from close to 45 C idle with a AMD Wraith Spire cooler to under 30 C with the Noctua cooler. Load temps, even in benchmark, are remarkably cool. Worth every penny

    Struggled with my cpu for at least a year and put this puppy in and all was better. Simple to install, has a nice quality feel, and most inportantly super quiet. Even includes the tools you need to install.

    Works perfectly for my Ryzen 1700. I also had another fan for a push/pull configuration. Overclocked to 4.0 Ghz and never have any heating issues. Great product company.

    If color is not a concern this is a great CPU cooler. Way better than stock if over locking.

    Under synthetic benchmarks it doesnt get warmer than 65-68c, under gaming its around 60c.

    Reading the reviews I was concerned it may not cool enough for overclocking my Ryzen 5 2600. Decided to try it due to the price point. However it’s doing a fantastic job, even with one fan installed (you can add a second) I was able to reach 4.1 ghz on the usual 3.4 ghz CPU and remain under 70°C even at 100% for ten minutes in real world testing. A bonus is the very small if not no noise the fan makes. Only downside is the ugly brown!

    10 minutes to install (15 including removing old cooler and thermal paste). Has been keeping my always on Ryzen 1800x at about 40-45 degrees Celsius with moderate Plex server load. The fan is positioned to blow out of the top of the case rather than into the case which is a huge plus for ventilation. No audible noise over the room fan/air purifier I have running on their lowest rpms

    Really easy to install, included cpu cooler that came with Ryzen 5 2600x was running 100 percent all the time Noctua one you can barely hear it and im running push pull config. Temperature is 15 c lower on idle and it does not go over 65 c when under load

    Tengo entendido que es el mejor, y razón a la gente no le falta, la inversión es alta, pero te durará toda la vida, además puedes ponerle otro ventilador en el futuro, y la pasta te dura para muchos recambios cuando hagas limpieza, no hace ruido, de hecho escucho más a mi fuente de alimentación y disco duro que cualquier ventilador. En juegos actuales no pasa de 45 grados a medias revoluciones. Instalación sencilla para AM4 ojo necesitas el backplate, que se sitúa debajo de la placa base, viene con destornillador, pasta de alta calidad y conductividad, repuestos de sujeta-ventiladores, repuestos de gomas en las esquinas del ventilador, bueno, en mi caso venía con dos tiras de silicona que puse debajo del ventilador en el disipador, supongo que es para amortiguar las vibraciones. No estorba las RAM. Estéticamente si tu caja tiene ventana, dicen que rompe la estética, pero su color marrón es un referente de la marca, no me importa su estética ya que es diferente, y llamativo. en el buen sentido. Ahora mismo tengo el Ryzen 5 1600 a 27 grados y 335 RPM. Tener cuidado al aplicar la pasta, con el tamaño de un guisante pequeño vale. lo importante es cubrir el centro y alrededores del disipador. las esquinas no importan tanto, pero vamos, que poniendo la cantifaf adecuada, al aplastar se reparte todo en un 90%.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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 compound

Having 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.
