Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4, Premium CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Brown)

This heat-sink is fantastic... cooling my Ryzen7 1700X to 45 C under 7/8 cores at 100% load mining crypto algorithms. Its also extremely quiet and, quite possibly, the easiest to install large heat-sink I have ever touched. I would recommend it to ANYONE looking for an easy to install / effective AM4 heat-sink.

Acquistato per raffreddare una nuova CPU ryzen. Ancora una volta Noctua si è dimostrata leader dei dissipatori ad aria. Massimo silenzio e temperatura sempre sotto i 60 gradi in overclock.

Ran Cinebench Multi Corn test for 10 minutes and my Overclocked Ryzen 7 5700x never gets past 70oc. Would highly recommend to those wanting to stay way from liquid.

If youve ever installed a cooler on your CPU, you know the utter torture that came with the process of attaching it to the CPU/mobo. Once you understand the idea behind this particular cooling tower design, you will see how this system is more efficient and user friendly than anything Ive ever seen. Id call it revolutionary (I dont own company stock - Im just a consumer). The key here is knowing that the metal BACKplate of your motherboard CPU is a critical component, and if you take both black plastic AM4 brackets off at the same time, that plate will FALL to the inside back of the case. Youre gonna need that plate to stay snuggled up to its original position on the backside of the mobo. If it falls, youre likely gonna have to take the entire mobo out of the case to do this install (a MUCH MORE lengthy and frustrating process).

Easy to install, noise level is quiet unless your running a very heavy cpu oriented program then the fan is noticeable. This cooler is sufficient for light over clocking but not if you want to push your system.

ho un case cooler master masterbox lite 5, questo case ha un grosso difetto, lairflow è molto scarso, per colpa delle poche prese daria frontali avevo, sotto stress, temperature della cpu (ryzen 5 2600 con dissipatore stock) che superavano i 75° e in alcuni giochi addirittura gli 80° e la gpu saliva fino a 75 gradi.

Received the regular old NH-U12S that is not compatible with the AM4 socket/motherboard.

poor quality. fan failed. poor customer service. seller asked to break the fan blade in order to do RMA.. which is very dangerous and can injury eyes if not done correctly.

Easily the best 120mm tower fan cooler out their. Easy installation for the experienced, very high quality, dead silent even at moderate speeds, and has provisions for an additional fan. Does not interfere with ram at all on pretty much any standard motherboard. This is as big as I will go for air cooling, as it weighs over 800 grams which is more than the recommended amount by AMD and Intel socket retention systems. Anything more can stress the board and moving the computer with larger tower coolers is a big no-no (even Noctua acknowledges this). Has tons of headroom for my overclocked Ryzen 2600. Unless you are doing some extreme overclocking on the higher-end chips, you dont need anything more.

Very efficient, silent and keep my CPU cool. The case Im using is the Fractal Design Define C, which is one of the most sound proof and, consequently, it gets warm/hot very fast. The CPU is the Ryzen 5 3600 (Zen 2), which is known to reach higher temperatures than the Zen 1 and Zen +. I needed a quiet and efficient fan that would go along with the airflow inside the case. The Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 was a perfect match.
