31-03-2025I purchased this cooler as a replacement for a CoolerMaster TX3i to cool my i5-7600K adequately when clocking 5GHz. The NH-U12S delivers excellent cooling performance, both at idle and under full load temperatures have dropped by an average of 7° compared to the TX3i so that I can safely clock 5GHz at 100% load for extended periods of time, with the CPU merely reaching 73° vs. reaching or exceeding 80° previously.

31-03-2025Very quiet CPU cooler that keeps AMD R7 5800X processor cool. Looks good doing it too.

Greater than one weekThere is just something aesthetically pleasing about an oversized air cooler inside a PC, it reminds me of an old air cooled harley V-twin. Im glad they came out with the black edition, it fits into the color scheme of my build perfectly! Also, I got a Linus Tech Tips Edition, which was a nice surprise, Im a fan, so Im proud to represent with the little metal badge that came with it. Anyway installation was a breeze. I have this cooling an Intel 9900kf, and even with 8 hours of nonstop 1440p gaming, I havent seen my CPU temp go over 60°C. I replaced the single fan with a dual noctua black fan setup for maximum cooling. I used the red vibration dampeners that came with the fans (fans were purchased seperately) to fit the color scheme of my build. As expected, the noctua fans are quieter than a nuke in space (Powerful, but silent). Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this cooler, see picture for final result.

29-03-2025Was super exited to recieve my first noctua cooler as I have heard lots of good feedback on them, the cooler itself was nice to install and was fairly easy, I didnt love the mounting mechanism for the fan because it was a little tough for me to get off and bend a little, thats my fault though, even though the heatsink was good unfortunately the fan was not working properly, I did my research and did some diagnostics and it was not the motherboard but the fan. Maybe I was just unlucky and got a defect, but I still would love to try the fans another time.

> 3 dayI kept getting high idle and gaming temps with this. For such an expensive and famous cooler, it is designed awfully. The vertical pathways of the fins are folded. which obstructs airflow. The mounting system is simple and works with my AM4 motherboard. I switched toa Hyper 212 Black Edition heat sink and got more manageable temps. I kept the Noctua fan because it is just the quietest fan.

29-03-2025Its amazing ,using it on ryzen 7 5700x and idle temps are around 30-40C and when using or playing intensive games it reaches around 65C . Overall 10/10 would recommend to buy this rather than cheap AIO or cheaper air cooler .
