Noctua NH-U12S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-F12 120mm Fan (Brown)

Customer X
> 3 dayThis included mounting brackets for AM4, and it was fairly easy to mount. I build a PC every 5-6 years, so Ive done it a few times before, but not in a while. Im using with Ryzen 3700x on MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Wifi. It runs quiet except when video encoding, but it never gets loud when at max RPMs, and the CPU temp never goes past 70C when overclocked to 4.0 Ghz and CPU is 100% across all processors. If Ive set Windows power options to AMD Ryzen Balanced, itll normally idle in the low 40C neighborhood.

Greater than one weekAbsolutely excellent product. Noctua please branch out towards the power supply market aswell (you have branced out towards radiators for water cooling so you might aswell engineer power supplies aswell).

Greater than one weekI was impressed with how high quality this heatsink was and the attention to detail in the packaging. Noctua thinks of everything and includes it in the box. Install was painless with great instructions and operation is extremely quiet.

Greater than one weekProduit installé sur CM socket 1151, I7 7700K...Facile à installer, intuitif et rapide (environ 10 min) domage que le 2ème ventilo ne soit pas inclu, cela éviterait une ouverture de boitier pour rien (façon de parler). Assez imposant mais pas trop, sur ma Z270, le ventilo arrive à peine à côté de la 1ere barrette de ddr....donc cest parfait !

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. |
