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

Easy as hell to install, beautifully packaged, and the thermal paste isnt half bad. Dont get an AIO, get this instead.

I am in total awe of how well the Noctua fan performs. I never thought that fans this quiet can move this much air, so I am delighted to be wrong. The heat sink itself does a great job absorbing heat from my overclocked Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, but the the fan is still the star of the show. I have it set to 100% and it is barely a whisper while keeping my CPU under 60° C while gaming.

Just works. Do read the directions to orient it properly for your case. Works great in my mini-itx cube w/ front-to-back air flow on my AMD 2600. Very quiet.

For anything hotter than a 5600x you should probably get a bigger cooler.

Très bien... Attention aux dimensions... Avec un seul ventilateur largement suffisant

Per me la silenziosità e lefficienza sono più importanti della comodità e dellestetica. Consigliato.

CPU Cooler could not be any easier to install. Running Handbrake Encoder on some Blu Ray files (all 16 threads running at close to 100% for hours), dropped my cpu temperatures from 65 degrees C down to 47C from the stock cooler on a Ryzen 2700.

Cools my Ryzen 5 1600 much better than my Corsair H100i GTX and is much easier to mount and much much quieter. I highly recommend any of Noctua coolers in you need a cooler for your PC.

4 stars just because I dont know anyone who likes those colors and getting one in black costs an extra $10. Seriously thats so dumb. Just charge what youre going to charge for it and give people the option of what color they want. This $10 cheaper version with ugly colors just makes no sense. That said this is an awesome cooler and Im planning on using the same one on my next build (just going to buy the black one this time). It would be really nice if Noctua gave you the choice of cooler finish (chrome or black) and fan color. I actually like the look of what I did with my last build where Ive got the chrome finished cooler with a black fan. The problem is that you have to buy a second fan to do this, and if you care about aesthetics youre going to have a really nice noctua fan sitting there doing nothing for you because its poop brown.

Bought AM4 socket exclusive brackets and received standard one. sticker on box says it is AM4 but box on the other hand is different. Might change when I am able to use it.
