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

I bought this to try to help my day old Ryzen 5 1600x build. I initially used my tried and true Hyper 212 Evo (with AM4 bracket ordered from CoolerMaster). For what its worth, the 212 made very weak contact with the CPU with the AM4 bracket. It also reached 88C in Prime 95 at stock 3.6ghz clocks. Fast forward, looked into something new (not interested in liquid cooling for this build), and this Noctua caught my attention. Install, as in other reviews, is really pretty damn easy. AM4 kit was included along with clear instructions. SOOOO much easier than messing with that stupid X thingee for the 212. It has as solid pressure on the CPU as you dare to make. Thermal paste is included, but I used the AS5 I just got. Anyway, long story short, now Im running overclocked at 4Ghz, and it only hit 64C on the same Prime 95 test. Its pretty much twice as expensive as any other CPU cooler Ive ever had, but worth it! Possible downside for some, the really ugly fan color, but even with a windowed case, mine is in a partially enclosed desk, so I dont see it anyway. Low temps are way more important to me than colors or RGB stuff. Oh yeah, and its the quiestest heatsink Ive ever had in my 20 years of CPU builds.

Parfait. Rien a dire. Il tient toutes ses promesses

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.

Producto de gran calidad y estéticamente bonito...cumple de sobra en mi ryzen 7

Toujours autant de la came noctua !

Installed this on my 3900x. Using offset voltage of -0.1. Prime 95 temps over 10 hours stable, max temp 76 C

Easy to install

Impeccable, ce ventirad, la qualité Noctua, pour un prix raisonnable

Quieter than my Corsair AIO water cooler and works just as well.

Excellent cooler but the pre-owned like new condition had bent fins and was missing packaging material. Ended up returning.
