Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black)

Its great for 8 core or less CPUs. Mounts nice, looks nice, good cooling on 65 watt tdp cpus or less. When i got the 5900x 12 core, i wanted to try it out and it spiked once to 90c and I shut it down. Upgraded to the NH-D15 and that one keeps up

I LOVE this Noctua fan. First of all, they were so prompt shipping my cooler. It was shipped out same day I ordered it, and arrived about a week ahead of quoted date. It came from Austria to Washington in about 2 days. Secondly, they included a super helpful screw driver for tightening down the CPU cooler. I wound up using that screw driver on virtually every other component in my build. Thirdly, that CPU cooler is keeping my Ryzen 9 3950x with 16 cores well under 70° under load. I’ve also complimented my case with 2 140mm 3000rpm fans in the front, 2 in the top, and a 120mm 2000rpm fan in the back. I will recommend Noctua to literally anyone I talk to about doing a build. Hopefully in the future they add more colors than just black, given the stock brown is horrendous.

The packaging was super clean. The box indicated the tools for an AMD install or an Intel install. The thermals have been really good on my i7 10700k and the Ram clearance is good.

Lowered my CPU temp down to 79° 80° at high load on a 3900 X CPU

Lo uso probé con un Ryzen 5800X en Push/Pull y en Cinebench 10 minutes no pasó de 83C. Jugando BFV llega a 78C y en la beta de BF 2042 no pasaba de 76C.

I recently built a system with these specs:

El ventilador es magnífico, eso es innegable. Baja las temperaturas unos 10º-15º aprox con respecto al cooler de stock de un intel i3 de 4 generación. El único pero que le veo es que el sistema de anclaje del disipador a la placa cuesta un poco de atornillar, eso provoca que la superficie que contacta con la cpu se mueva sobre ésta. En mi caso lo instalé con un procesador y al mes cambié a otro procesador y al revisar la superficie, tenía marcas de roce por esto que digo. Sigue refrigerando exactamente igual pero es una pena que ya no esté perfecto.

Great cooler, easy to mount on either AMD or Intel, amazing performance

Very nice product, highly recommended

I really have to say this is an outstanding product in every sense of the word. Noctua first makes some of the best static pressure high cfm fans on the market and their product is literally top tier. I saw system thermals greatly drop on my cpu from 41C to 32C which is an insane drop while idle. While gaming, nothing ever went higher than the low 50s. Its especially easy to install if you are running an Intel Processor and the results and even the look are phenomenal. I give this the gold star for the gold star standard!
