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

Con questo dissipatore ho finalmente risolto il surriscaldamento del mio Ryzen 2700X in overclock a 4.20 mhz. Lho sostituito ad un Arctic 13 CO che purtroppo non era sufficiente e mi obbligava ad usare solo la frequenza base del processore di 3,7. Semplice da installare (attenzione allaltezza e a come orientarlo) ha in dotazione anche lhardware per montare una seconda ventola da 120.

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.

Ottimo articolo, facile da montare ma soprattutto molto silenzioso...quasi non so sente

Main goal was to overclock my CPU as far as it can go. I did not think it would be a very good idea to do it on an air cooler, however this one is a very competent one, and does the job ( ryzen 5 2600 - furthest I could push it is 1.42V, 4.15 Ghz, at 82-84°C; temps get even lower at - 1.37V, 3.95 GHz, at 74.5°C at full sinth. load ). At stock or at a lower clock on the CPU this cooler maintains (depending on the CPU that is) 29-32°C at idle, and around 49-56°C at full load. Noice levels are OK. These are results from my personal use of the cooler. Even the thermal paste that comes with the cooler is good. All around the installation was easy enough. Everything, including the tools that you would need to mount it and some spare parts come in the box. Perfect for AM4 motherboards and mid tower cases.

For those of us in the know, brown and tan is the color of performance. Why would you want it to be anything else?

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.

Im using AMD Ryzen5 2400G and Asus Rog Strix S470-F Gamin.

Che noctua sia noctua è risaputo. Ma qui si superano le aspettative. Nella confezione cè tutto ciò che serve, ma proprio tutto, persino il giravite a croce!!! Montaggio semplicissimo. Unica nota....il dissipatore è davvero enorme, non ci avevo badato, per fortuna nel mio aerocool ds230 ci è entrato, ma per poco!!! Con le ram invece nessun problema, il suo rialzo te le fa scordare, puoi girarlo come vuoi e non le tocca!!!

Il dissipatore é di ottima fattura (anche se potevano sforzarsi a lappare meglio la base a contatto con la cpu), il montaggio é semplice e ben progettato, la ventola é silenziosa.

Keeps my CPU amd 2700x 26-28 celsius while idle, and under load around 55-60 celsius. Im sure that if i had gotten their bigger coolers it would have done better, but comparing this to the temperatures of my brothers computer with an AIO, the NH-U12S does a pretty darn good job.
