> 3 dayNoctua coolers are great however if you are buying this for AM4 and think you are getting the advertised AM$ SE special edition think again. I received the standard cooler in the standard box (missing the SE AM4 wording) with a small paper sticker on it claiming that it was the SE. Inside was an Intel LGA bracket and an AMD2 bracket and instructions which may or may not be applicable to an AM4 board. The fittings were certainly different to those in the picture so I didnt bother trying to fit it and sent it back.

> 3 dayA cosa serve un AIO con sti dissipatori ? Ryzen 1700 a 3,9ghz a 1,4v in full load su tutti i core arrivo a 70°. Superlativo come sempre il meccanismo di fissaggio, in confronto marchi come be quiet! E cooler master sembrano idee malate uscite dalla mente di un pazzoide.

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. |
