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

Noctua lives up to their rep

I havent seen over 60 degrees even under full load, great bang for your buck.

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

Thought I would need one of the more expensive coolers, but nope. Works great and is very quiet.

Short review

My Ryzen 5 2600 is sitting at 4.2 Ghz and barely over 65C on load. Most games run at about 60C. The mount might be a bit of a pain for some people but its pretty straight forward.

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).

And much quieter.

Not much to add that others didnt say already, awesome heatsink fan. Not pretty but my box doesnt have fancy lights as it sits under my desk so bling doesnt matter much to me.

Pros:
