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

This is an extremely quite fan on this heatsink. The mounting system is very flexible for your application and is easy to assemble. The kit comes with everything you need including heatsink compound and even a screw driver.

Le silence sans chauffe !

Applied to (currently stock speeds) AMD Ryzen 2600 on ASUS X470-Pro in an h500i case. Install was very easy, 15-20 minutes tops. Idle temps dropped from 40-45c with stock cooler to 25-27c. Load temps dropped from 65-70c to 40-45c. Worthy investment.

Far better than the stock cooler. Very good instructions. Would recommend

Ryzen 5 2600 Overclocked to 3.95Ghz. This cooler brought down my CPU temps by 31C compared to the stock cooler! A+++ This cooler gives you the option to add a second fan to cool even more, so I may go this route depending how Battlefield V temps behave :)

This was my first Noctua product. If youve never used their products before, then youre in for a treat: its a top tier product which includes not only the cooler and fan, but also the packaging and installation. An overall premium experience. In this case you do get what you pay for! To understand my reference point, Ive built about 30 desktops. Ive always either used either the stock cooler from Intel (this is my first ever AMD CPU) or bought one of the highly regarded budget coolers like the Arctic Freezer 7 or the Hyper 212 EVO for overclocked rigs. And these are fine coolers that have worked well in all installations.

Tengo entendido que es el mejor, y razón a la gente no le falta, la inversión es alta, pero te durará toda la vida, además puedes ponerle otro ventilador en el futuro, y la pasta te dura para muchos recambios cuando hagas limpieza, no hace ruido, de hecho escucho más a mi fuente de alimentación y disco duro que cualquier ventilador. En juegos actuales no pasa de 45 grados a medias revoluciones. Instalación sencilla para AM4 ojo necesitas el backplate, que se sitúa debajo de la placa base, viene con destornillador, pasta de alta calidad y conductividad, repuestos de sujeta-ventiladores, repuestos de gomas en las esquinas del ventilador, bueno, en mi caso venía con dos tiras de silicona que puse debajo del ventilador en el disipador, supongo que es para amortiguar las vibraciones. No estorba las RAM. Estéticamente si tu caja tiene ventana, dicen que rompe la estética, pero su color marrón es un referente de la marca, no me importa su estética ya que es diferente, y llamativo. en el buen sentido. Ahora mismo tengo el Ryzen 5 1600 a 27 grados y 335 RPM. Tener cuidado al aplicar la pasta, con el tamaño de un guisante pequeño vale. lo importante es cubrir el centro y alrededores del disipador. las esquinas no importan tanto, pero vamos, que poniendo la cantifaf adecuada, al aplastar se reparte todo en un 90%.

I got this to replace Arctic Freezer 34 CO for my AMD 5800x CPU to hopefully decrease 5800x temps which runs very hot unlike any other AMD CPU of same generation. Unfortunately there is no temperature difference or all core clock boost difference between Arctic Freezer and this Noctua, using same thermal paste. Even in terms of noise - this Noctua cooler is just as loud as the 34 CO when fan is at max speed. And the mounting system is not significantly better in terms of ease of mounting. So if you want to save yourself some money - go with Arctic Freezer 34 CO.

Short review

Used this to replace a stock cooler - this is so much more effective and quieter - the previous fan would sound like a jet engine with minimal increases in the CPU load.
