I replaced an AIO cooler that lasted less than 2 years. This keeps my system cool, was easy to install, is quieter, and I expect it will last far more than 2 years. The AIO was nice, it dumped the heat out the top, but it was complex, pump, radiator, 3 fans, hoses. I didn’t build the machine so I did not have the problems installing the AIO, It was a pain just to get it out. This is far simpler with a single fan attached to the cooler. The heat is dumped in the case, but it does fine and lets the processor run without throttling.
Noctua builds nice fans and their coolers are a work of art. As far as cooling they do almost as well as an AIO. The thing is most processors are just fine with a Noctua and AIOs are just overkill. Even a “hot” gaming system works fine with Noctua.

Me compre el Ryzen 5 5600x y solamente tenía el ventilador que te viene con la CPU.
Alcanzaba temperaturas de 80ºC al jugar, si bien la temperatura límite que tiene esta CPU es de 95ºC, no me hacía mucha gracia que por el simple hecho de jugar subiera a 80ºC.
Pues desde que uso este cooler la temperatura a la hora de jugar es de 50 y pico grados, rara vez llega a los 60ºC, jugando a varios juegos en Calidad Alta (RE4 Remake, Witcher 3, God of War, DMC5, por decir algunos).
Buen cooler, logra bajar mucho la temperatura de la CPU, la instalación es sencilla, el único problema que puedo ver es que tu Caja no te deje mucho espacio para meter el destornillador, no hace ruido y es bastante barato para lo bien que funciona.
Si necesitas un cooler o tienes dudas de cual comprar, déjate de comprar a lo caro o de ir a refrigeraciones líquidas, este cooler te va a resolver la necesidad que tienes por poco precio y con buenos resultados.

Compared to other Nactua products the Redux line is missing some small features that allow it to be priced as low as it is. I researched to decide if these differences (a cheaper fan and the coils not being soldered to the radiator blades) and I decided it would be worth upgrading from my AMD Wraith cooler that came with my Ryzen 5 5600x. My temps were always acceptable while creeping on the hot side while under load. It wasn’t till I started ripping and compressing blu-ray files that I saw my CPU hitting 91°C with the stock cooler. Since installing this Nactua Redux my temps have dropped by 20°C while idling and under load. I’m not sure how much of a difference you’ll see if you’re already using another cooler brand but if you’re still using the stock AMD cooler I can’t recommend this enough. Instal was a breeze, sound levels are low, and it fit perfectly inside my Corsair 220T Airflow case.

Like in the title the cooler does an incredible job and is nearly silent when under full load, it came pre applied with thermal paste saving me a trip to a store, the installation (in all fairness) is most likely not hard but for me it was quite challenging because of the pre-existing build requiring me to basically reinstall my whole system but overall the cooler did its job for a fair price!

I bought this because I was hitting peak temperatures of 82c on my Ryzen 5 5600x under full load with the stock cooler on stock bios config for the cpu.
I chose this unit because I gad a great experience previously with the NH-u12P on my old core i7 920 and decided to stick to a brand I know even if it cost a bit more than the competing deepcool and cooler master units. I definitely don’t regret this decision. Core Tempuratures with the Noctua dropped to 55c under full load. A pretty substantial drop. As a bonus, the better thermals allow the CPU to boost better: my Cinebench scores went up from 10600 to 11200.
Pros:
-Easy and very solid installation/mounting process and overall setup. Easily the best in the business.
-Quieter than the stock Wraith cooler even at full fan speed. The Noctua fan doesn’t even end up spinning at max rpm under the stock fan speed curve of the motherboard and temps are still excellent.
-27c temp drop for my own personal setup under full load.
-Noctua build quality and performance for a more reasonable price.
Cons:
-Still expensive compared to the Deepcool Gammaxx 400 and Cooler Master Hyper 212 for likely similar performance. You definitely pay premium for the better mounting system and brand recognition.
-The redux fan is quiet but still noisier and not as efficient as the regular Noctua fans.

Noctua è un marchio noto per la sua qualità e le sue prestazioni, e il dissipatore NH-U12S Redux non fa eccezione.
Si tratta di un dissipatore ad aria di dimensioni compatte che offre prestazioni eccellenti e un livello di rumore molto contenuto.
L’NH-U12S Redux è in grado di tenere sotto controllo le temperature di processori anche di fascia alta.
Utilizzato con un Intel i5 13600k che non dispone del dissipatore di serie. Cercavo un qualcosa ad aria non molto costoso ma con buone performance.
La ventola Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM che accompagna il dissipatore è molto silenziosa.
Nel mio caso ho acquistato anche il kit con la seconda ventola venduta a parte.
Il montaggio del dissipatore è abbastanza semplice. Il kit di montaggio è completo e fornito di istruzioni chiare. Il montaggio può essere completato in pochi minuti. Fate attenzione a non stringere troppo le viti!
C’è anche il QR per seguire video guide.
In conclusione, è un dissipatore ad aria silenzioso e performante che offre un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. È una scelta ideale per chi cerca un dissipatore che mantenga le temperature sotto controllo senza produrre troppo rumore e senza spendere troppi soldi.
MOLTO IMPORTANTE: Controllate se il vostro case può contenere questo dissipatore! Occupa 158mm in altezza!

Let me begin with some clarification. I have not yet used my pc with this cooler in practical applications yet. However, I have ran the Heaven benchmark and Cinebench R23 with this cooler installed. I’m running a Ryzen 7 5000 series and there is about a 25 degree difference in running those two benchmarks between the Noctua cooler and the AMD Waith stock cooler. The Noctua cooler definitely comes out ahead, which I knew it would, by a 25 degree difference. The idle temp is about 5 degrees cooler. I’d love to say the fan is quieter, but I don’t know. The fan on the Noctua cooler hasn’t had to ramp up like the AMD Wraith cooler fan had to. For the temps I was at, 53 degrees under load, I couldn’t hear the fan. While this Noctua cooler is a “budget” cooler, it has performed wonderfully thus far. Installation is very straight forward, with clear instructions for the inexperienced. Noctua makes great products and is well established in the PC cooling business.

Finally got around to upgrading my Ryzen 5 1500 and knew that my new Ryzen 7 5600x would need more cooling power than the stock cooler from the 1500. This guy had good reviews and cooling potential for “hotter” cpus. Its been great, the only issue I have is that it seems to be a bit louder than expected. Not sure if I got a fan with a bad bearing but it does seem louder than it should be. Installation was a breeze and its construction is solid. Glad to have that extra cooling power with my new CPU.
Cheers

Je vous conseille ce produit plutôt haut de gamme pour un ventirad à ce prix. Il est silencieux. Facile a installer. A voir maintenant s’il tient la route dans la durée. Avec un i7, mon CPU est au alentour de 60ºc voir moins avec ça.

My old liquid cooler was probably a mess inside, but this Noctua cooler greatly reduced my CPU temps. I think it was around 74F max before, down to 60F max now. It is nice and quiet even at full load and I still can’t even feel the heat coming off of it. It is a huge cooler, but it seems to be working great. I have an old mobo with an 17 2600k. My RTX 3050 is a little bottlenecked and my system is about as good as it gets without an overhaul, so this cooler is maybe even a little overkill. But I’m happy with it.

Tengo un ryzen 5 5600x con una gráfica Rx 6600, vivo en una zona muy calurosa de México, con el disipador de stock normalmente me daba entro 80 y 80 grados. En cambio ya con este disipador las temperaturas no auben de los 75 grados.
El sonido es casi imperceptible y tiene buena estetica.
Facil de instalar si te orientas bien y puedes agregar otro ventilador en el futuro.

I purchased this along with its second fan kit. Mounted on a ryzen 7 5700G which I then overclocked to 4.5Ghz all core stable at 1.35V.
When running heavy benchmark loads, burnin tests, and intense workload programs the max temp was 40°C. Fan noise is negligible at best and the pwm keeps them in a good zone without needing the power limiter.
I used to build systems professionally at work and have used most high end components available so I get to test a lot of configurations. Normally my preferred air cooler is the be quiet dark rock pro 4, but this little beast has honestly stolen my affections. In most workloads the performance is near identical to coolers twice its cost so it really is a good value.
Downside, its not the nicest looking cooler. It has a decent style with the grey and silver so you can pull of some nice looking builds, but its no head turner and honestly is best for systems that arent showcases.
Bottom line, an exceptional cooler for a very reasonable price.
I first tested this on intel 12th gen and they did great with non k sku models and a single fan.
If you are doing a 12700k, 12600k, or their new 13th gen versions then this guy is a great buy. If, however, you want to oc the intels, then you may want to look into 240mm aio or bigger fan solutions.
If you are looking to build a good performance amd 5000 series based system, look no further. The great efficiency of the amd 5000 means this cooler does extremely well with these cpus.
I selected the 5700g for both budget and my needs which arent crazy. Im not really into buying the end all be all and tend to lean more into efficiency and capability.
This cooler keeps my system stable and running exceptionally well and I still have headroom to work with.
No question, while there are cheaper units and some better performing units none have both as well as this. This is the best budget cooler available today.
