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

The temperatures will vary on your setup/case, etc. But I overclock my Ryzen 5 to 4.4ghz, and while gamming with high settings my temps will never exceed 70 degrees Celsius! this cooler rocks!

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

Be careful to make sure that your motherboard accept <AM4>. Really easy to install with only 2 screws to tighten.

I purchased the Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 to replace the AMD Wraith cooler that came with my Ryzen 2700X. I run distributed computing apps like Einstein at Home so thus 100% CPU loads. While the Wraith kept CPU temps within the safety threshold it couldnt do it without making a lot of noise. The Noctua can. Its virtually silent and temps average 10C cooler to boot. This model is easy to install but make sure your AM4 motherboard has the stock AMD CPU backplate as this cooler uses it (most decent boards do). Please note that this cooler has no flashy LED lighting. Its a bit ugly but its built to perform with 10 heatpipes versus the Wraiths 4. The fan is easy to remove for cleaning and it does have an option for a second fan and even coming with the mounting hardware for one. If you run your Ryzen hard then this is the cooler for you.

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

Very pleased with my purchase fits beautifully will not interfere with adding more ram in the future I was running a stock cooler from AMD I’m my ryzen 2600 And it would run around 50 Celsius 60 under load upgraded to this cooler now it runs around 31 Celsius and 43 under load

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.

Noctua rimane una sicurezza per i sistemi di raffreddamento. Primo dissipatore della casa nativo per i nuovi socket AM4 di amd. Compatibile con le nuove schede madri uscite con tale socket. Il radiatore e la ventola da 120mm fanno il loro lavoro egregiamente, mantenendo la cpu attorno ai 30°C anche sotto carico leggero....Il sistema risponde bene anche sotto sforzo, grazie alla sua ventola PWM configurabile sia tramite i vari bios, sia dalle utility delle schede madri. La ventola è molto silenziosa e quando viene portata al massimo degli rpm non diventa rumorosa o fastidiosa.

Great cooler. A bit big, but thats what gets you the cooling you need.

Very easy install, with some of the best thermal past around. Seriously, the fan runs at 800 rpm on Prime 95 at stock. Never gets about 58c on my Ryzen 2600. Rpms at idle 350. You seriously cant hear this thing. Even when rendering in Daz 3d Im unable to hear it spin up. Just a spectacular heatsink and fan. From top to bottom, the engineering on these is so good. If you want one of the best air cooling solutions. Look no further. Did I mention how quiet it was? I have nerve damage in one ear and NOTHING is ever quiet to me. But, this is. Fabulous piece of hardware. I have no regrets at all.
