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

This cooler is really perfect on every part ( Noise level, performance , ease of installation )

I used this on my Asus Strix B350-F AM4 motherboard with a Ryzen 1200. It keeps it at around 63 degrees Celsius running prime95 at 3.85Ghz, at an ambient temp of around 28 degrees Celsius. I switched the fan though to a 2,000 rpm Noctua ippc fan.The install is very easy and secure compared to other tower heat sinks Ive used in the past. The quality of this heat sink is worth the extra cost compared to other lower priced options.

Installed on a Ryzen 5 5600X. Idle and in game temps drop ~15°c. Definitely quieter than stock AMD cooler.

This is my 3rd PC Build and I paired this with my Ryzen 5 1600x CPU and even while gaming I have not went above 43 degrees Celsius. Plenty of room to overclock but probably overkill for anyone who does not wish to overclock. Looks great and is great quality.

I wanted a cooler that would do the job and be easy to clean. This fit the bill. Very happy with the purchase

Ho optato per questo modello minore rispetto al mastodontico NH-D15 SE-AM4 (orientato a chi cerca davvero le massime prestazioni come raffreddamento ad aria) e non me ne pento affatto, nonostante lindecisione iniziale. Svolge egregiamente il suo compito di raffreddare un Ryzen 1700X. Un perfetto bilanciamento tra prestazioni, dimensioni e usabilità. Installazione semplicissima grazie anche alle ottime istruzioni fornite. Non crea assolutamente problemi con le memorie. La qualità sia del dissipatore che della ventola in dotazione è la solita che contraddistingue i prodotti Noctua, ovvero eccezionale.

Très facile à monter.

Fan has been working great for me in my 2019 build.

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).

Wrong model. Ordered the AM4 version. Wasted 2 weeks of my life waiting for this useless chunk of metal.
