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

La foto non gli rende giustizia: è bellissimo. La grandezza e il peso mettono un po timore ma in realtà è molto semplice da installare. Silenzioso ed efficiente

10C cooler than the AMD wraith cooler that came with my 3700x and nearly silent. Very pleased.

Pros:

Noctua is the beat. Never hesitate to use their coolers. It may be trivial but I wish they would offer different color schemes for their coolers.

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.

Added another fan for a push-pull, with a be quit 801 case, I cant hear these fans.

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.

works well and is very quiet.

I bought this for my Ryzen 7 3800XT cpu for my very first pc build. Keep in mind as you read this that I did the entire process for the first time, not just the installation of this fan.

This CPU cooler is amazing, its whisper quiet and cools almost as good as a closed loop water cool system for less then half the price. But it is large, so make sure you case can fit it. Also not a huge fan of the brown/tan cooler scheme. Would prefer black. Very easy to install.
