    The cooler would probably be awesome, unfortunately I cant test it because there were no AM brackets when I specifically ordered the one that came with AM4 brackets.

    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.

    Primo noctua. Stupito dalla semplicità di montaggio. Kit completo di tutto. Con le temperature esterne attuali . Rispetto allo stock ho guadagnato 12 15 gradi.. su un ryzen 1600. In full a 3699 3799 arriva a 59 gradi. Ottimo acquisto.

    This is a 5 star cooler but I gave it 4 stars. Heres why.

    I dropped 22 degrees C with Ryzen 5 2600x using prime95. Went from 87c to 65c. Great cooler and very easy to install.

    This is a great product. Not only does it work great. Compared to the water cooler I had it is quiet and was very easy to install.

    Quando si tratta di dissipatori per CPU, la qualità e lefficienza sono due fattori fondamentali da tenere in considerazione. Il dissipatore Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 è unopzione che non delude affatto, offrendo un incredibile rapporto qualità-prezzo e una qualità eccezionale delle ventole Noctua.

    This heatsink isnt easy on the eyes but it keeps my 5600x pretty damn cool and stays quiet. It was easy to install even for idiots like myself. I have not built a PC in over 8 years.

    This was easy to install into a Micro ATX case (masterbox QL300) onto an Asus Mobo b450m. Theres room for my ram and about .25 of space to the side of the case from the top of the cooler. I use the stock settings to cool my CPU, I dont hear the CPU fan almost never unless Im doing some bench tests. CPU temp idle and low workload (chrome and maybe photoshop) between 38-42c. when I OC and bench test its 68-71ish. My mobo isnt so strong so I just keep everything typically stock. I bought this cooler for potential future proof air cooling.. I need to upgrade my mobo and cpu I have no doubts this cooler will be sufficient for many years, and you can add another cooler for push/pull if desired. People dont like the tan/brown-red look.. but its not that big of a deal when you have a dark window.. still looks clean, they make replacement fans in different colors, Im sticking with stock.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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 compound

Having 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.
