    Noctua coolers are great however if you are buying this for AM4 and think you are getting the advertised AM$ SE special edition think again. I received the standard cooler in the standard box (missing the SE AM4 wording) with a small paper sticker on it claiming that it was the SE. Inside was an Intel LGA bracket and an AMD2 bracket and instructions which may or may not be applicable to an AM4 board. The fittings were certainly different to those in the picture so I didnt bother trying to fit it and sent it back.

    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!

    If color is not a concern this is a great CPU cooler. Way better than stock if over locking.

    After arguing with myself over whether I should air or water cool my new build and reading more reviews then I care to think of, I settled on this. Build quality is awesome and screams premium and fitted my case perfectly. As it says, it didnt impact any ram and the airflow is great, keeping my system running around 20 degrees Celsius idle and so far under load of video encoding its only been a high as 60 so more than sufficient. Amazing product and Id definitely buy more from noctua.

    This guy is just a solid product that does what its supposed to do and does it very well. It took a Ryzen 5 5600X from 36 to 40 C at idle down to 26 C (a warm Spring afternoon). It went from 96 to 108 C under extreme load down to 56 to 58 C.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups.

100% RAM compatibility

Thanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and ensures 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans.

NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fan

Recommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts world-wide, the Noctua"s premium quality NF-F12 Focused Flow 120mm fan is renowned to combine superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation.

NT-H1 thermal compound

Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua"s NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability.
