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

I always buy after market coolers, but typically aim in the $20-$30 range, but decided to splurge on this one as I heard such good things. I while playing Overwatch at 1440p, while streaming video and had some other apps running, I peaked at 58c, but was usually in the 40s. This is with a Meshify case. Overwatch might not be the best gauge, but I am impressed none the less with these temps. I was idling around 35c.

I have a Ryzen 5 3600. Every review I read said AMDs stock coolers were pretty good. What those reviews failed to mention is that its also a pain to install and that pretty good means idle temps of 52 C in a 75 F room. The Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 is super easy to install and my idle temps are now 36 C. Im very happy!

Noctua makes great quality coolers. Im not a big fan of AIO coolers and this keeps my cpu in the 45c range when gaming with a slight OC. more then enough for the average user, a NH- D15 cooler would be standard if you are looking to push your OC further.

horribly ugly, love it

Very easy install, with some of the best thermal past around. Seriously, the fan runs at 800 rpm on Prime 95 at stock. Never gets about 58c on my Ryzen 2600. Rpms at idle 350. You seriously cant hear this thing. Even when rendering in Daz 3d Im unable to hear it spin up. Just a spectacular heatsink and fan. From top to bottom, the engineering on these is so good. If you want one of the best air cooling solutions. Look no further. Did I mention how quiet it was? I have nerve damage in one ear and NOTHING is ever quiet to me. But, this is. Fabulous piece of hardware. I have no regrets at all.

Keeps my 1800x nice and cool

2e Noctua acheté et toujours au top.

Its ultra quiet, keeps my ryzen 1700x temperatures in the 20s at idle, never touches 50 when stressed. It was easy to install, with clear instructions and a wealth of parts for different configs. This is the one part of my whole system that works above any expectations and without any tinkering after installation. I was just going though the list of parts it took to build it, and realized this noctua cooler is the one Ive never had to think about. Just buy it

This little guy took my Ryzen 5600xs temps down from 90c to 70c. It comes with thermal paste, and makes your pc look and feel a lot cooler.

The temperatures will vary on your setup/case, etc. But I overclock my Ryzen 5 to 4.4ghz, and while gamming with high settings my temps will never exceed 70 degrees Celsius! this cooler rocks!
