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

Jutilise ce type de solution et cette gamme depuis 2012. Je continue donc car niveau sonore on entend rien et le refroidissement est excellent.

Noctua makes quality stuff. I dislike water cooling due to the multiple points of failure and if the pump dies the entire unit is basically useless. I had this on a Ryzen 7 1700 that pulled 160 watts and it didnt go above 78 C. Its now sitting on a Ryzen 7 3700x and keeps it around 78-82 C whens its overclocked to [email protected]

I was using a Noctua NH-L9i on my R7 1800X. Under full load when doing encoding tasks, I would get temps anywhere between 71 and 73C. I put the NH-U12S on today and now when doing those same tasks Im hovering right around 50-51C. This is definitely a better cooler. And it took all of about 10 minutes to install, no adapter brackets like with some of the Coolermaster coolers.

I bought this for my Ryzen 9 3900X. The main intent was to have a non AIO, quieter solution than the stock cooler, and to obviously to keep the temps down in the hopes of getting better than stock boost clocks. I had been using a Corsair H100i AIO, but I was tired of the additional clutter in my case (weird I know) and this cooler seemed to be in the same ballpark according to reviews. Overall, in my experience, its not quite at the level of my H100i but it is really close.

Apart from stock coolers this is one of the easiest cpu coolers I’ve mounted in the 10 years I’ve built pcs. Temps seem a bit better than the 212 evo and the included fan is amazing!!

Ottimo dissipatore, non si sente quasi mai e tiene il mio ryzen 7 1800x in idle a 34 gradi, mentre sotto sforzo arriva a 55.

Love 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.

Noctua lives up to its reputation. This fan nearly soundless and definitely lowers my CPU temps.

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.

Received the regular old NH-U12S that is not compatible with the AM4 socket/motherboard.
