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

Mr Zombie
> 24 hourLove this CPU Cooler! Pretty quiet, Great Quality, Keeps system pretty cool when in hot ambiant temperatures. With the Ryzen 7 2700x idles around 35c in 28c ambient. And when stress test for about max time on Ryzen Master stays stable around 65c. No overclock done just set to auto. Only thing I dislike is just the color. Should definitely get duo fans for best results.

> 24 hourPer me la silenziosità e lefficienza sono più importanti della comodità e dellestetica. Consigliato.

> 24 hourI just installed this in a new build, and when I went to power the machine on, I pushed the power button and waited, and said aloud is this even on?, thinking that because I couldnt hear anything, the machine was off. Not the case - the fan is just that quiet. A later thermal stress test showed that it has absolutely no problems cooling an AMD Ryzen 5 3700.

> 24 hourCools my 3800x in an itx case very well. Dips into the low 80s under load with PBO and multicore enhancement on. Replaced a Corsair H75 aio and outperforms it significantly while running MUCH quieter.

> 24 hourReally happy with purchase. I got it for my 2700X when the stock cooler started making funny noises , and couldnt be happier. Much quieter, more consistent, and significant reduction in temps (Prime95 running at 65C at 4.0GHz vs 75C at 3.9GHz on stock)

> 24 hourJe viens de le monter sur un Ryzen 1700x. Aucun souci. Le ventilateur est silencieux. Je lentends moins que ceux du boitiers (Fractal design S). La température du micro-processeur est de 40°C au démarrage et il est monté à 57°C après 2 heures 30 dutilisation.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups. |
100% RAM compatibilityThanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and ensures 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts world-wide, the Noctua"s premium quality NF-F12 Focused Flow 120mm fan is renowned to combine superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundHaving received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua"s NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. |
