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

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.

Easy to install and very quiet. Replaced a noisy AMD that came with the Ryzen. Noctua designs great hardware!

I swapped from a case that had less ventilation, so the stock wraith prism was having to work harder.

It is very quiet, and after using this CPU fan and along with a Noctua chassis fan, and replaced my power supply with Be Quiet Dark Power Pro power supply, I finally got a quiet PC which I cant hear any noise under normal web surfing or office desks.

Ho acquistato questo dissipatore ad aria qualche mese fa.Lho montato sul mio pc con Ryzen 7 1800x e dissipa davvero bene il calore della cpu.Il dissipatore è fatto molto bene,è resistente ed ha dei supporti per il montaggio in due posizioni differenti.Naturalmente sono inclusi anche pasta termica,distanziatori e viti.Ventola davvero potente.Il montaggio è davvero semplice e comunque viene fornito di manuale di istruzioni molto dettagliato e in ogni caso cè anche il video nel canale del produttore.Consigliatissimo.

give it to me for free next time

I purchased the Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 to replace the AMD Wraith cooler that came with my Ryzen 2700X. I run distributed computing apps like Einstein at Home so thus 100% CPU loads. While the Wraith kept CPU temps within the safety threshold it couldnt do it without making a lot of noise. The Noctua can. Its virtually silent and temps average 10C cooler to boot. This model is easy to install but make sure your AM4 motherboard has the stock AMD CPU backplate as this cooler uses it (most decent boards do). Please note that this cooler has no flashy LED lighting. Its a bit ugly but its built to perform with 10 heatpipes versus the Wraiths 4. The fan is easy to remove for cleaning and it does have an option for a second fan and even coming with the mounting hardware for one. If you run your Ryzen hard then this is the cooler for you.

Muy buen disipador, con capacidad para aumentar su disipacion.. Es un poco grande asi que tomen medidas antes de conprarlo.. 100% recomendado.. Lo tengo en un ryzen 5 1600X OC en 4.2 y tira GW2, GTA V, WoT, SAO: Fatal Billet sin pasar de 45-47 grados C en modalidad silenciosa.

Très facile à monter.

I didnt realize the scale of this when buying it, found it laughably large, but wow does it do the job.
