> 3 dayFantastic cooler. Virtually silent. Quite large though so make sure you have room in your case to fit it.

> 3 dayInstalled on a Ryzen 5 5600X. Idle and in game temps drop ~15°c. Definitely quieter than stock AMD cooler.

Greater than one weekI recently upgraded my system to an AMD 3900xt and needed a cooler. My Cooler Master 212 has served me well for the i5 system Ive used the past couple years, but I figured I should try out this brand for the 3900xt build due to using a hotter CPU and the raving reviews online.

> 3 dayIl prodotto mi ha completamente soddisfatto, facile da montare (per me è stata la prima volta) e più bello di come previsto, visto che diceva nero ma in realtà era rosso e beige (come in foto) quindi molto meglio (anche se non ho un case aperto quindi cambia poco). Allinterno cè tutto per mondarlo, dalla pasta agli strumenti. Consigliato!

13-11-2024venendo dal corsair H60 liquido devo ammettere che la temperatura su ryzen 1600x si mantiene piacevolmente bassa, raramente arriva sui 48° a pieno regime. Facilissimo da installare.

> 3 dayNice fan and quite. Fit well on my 1800s on my MSI X370 Titanium MB. Clears the 4 dims and just about a centimeter from the glass on my S340 elite case. Idle temps around 37c and when hot, low 70c.

> 3 dayLove the design and small form factor of this cooler. Have it mounted on a mini ITX motherboard inside a NZXT H210i. No clearance issues with RAM or side glass. Can fit another fan on the rear for even more cooling power. The only squeeze is with the top fan, which is a normal size Noctua. Though that’s mostly due to the small case and the fact that I could use a thinner profile fan but chose not to.
Continuing the legacy of Noctua’s classic NH-U-series, the NH-U12S has become a benchmark for slim, highly compatible 120mm single tower coolers. The SE-AM4 version is a dedicated special edition for AMD’s AM4/AM5 (Ryzen) platform, featuring the latest SecuFirm2 mounting system for AM4/AM5. Topped off with the renowned quiet NF-F12 PWM 120mm fan, and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12S SE-AM4 forms a complete premium-quality solution that combines outstanding performance, superb acoustics and excellent compatibility for AM4/AM5 systems.

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. |
