> 3 dayI used this on my Asus Strix B350-F AM4 motherboard with a Ryzen 1200. It keeps it at around 63 degrees Celsius running prime95 at 3.85Ghz, at an ambient temp of around 28 degrees Celsius. I switched the fan though to a 2,000 rpm Noctua ippc fan.The install is very easy and secure compared to other tower heat sinks Ive used in the past. The quality of this heat sink is worth the extra cost compared to other lower priced options.

> 3 dayI was looking for a better cooler for my new Gen 3 Ryzen chip. It was running almost 80C during games on the included wraith cooler and I just wasnt going to have that. Ive had good luck with temps from aftermarket coolers from CoolerMaster in the past (the hyper 212 line) but my god the installation was always rage-inducing. Seriously. Installing those things will make you hate your life and re-examine all of the choices you made in your life that led up to that point.

> 3 dayI would say that Noctua has the best quiet fans that you can buy. I like my office to be quiet and no loud fan noises and this fan gives me what I want. Amazing and I had no issues with it.

> 3 dayVery efficient, silent and keep my CPU cool. The case Im using is the Fractal Design Define C, which is one of the most sound proof and, consequently, it gets warm/hot very fast. The CPU is the Ryzen 5 3600 (Zen 2), which is known to reach higher temperatures than the Zen 1 and Zen +. I needed a quiet and efficient fan that would go along with the airflow inside the case. The Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 was a perfect match.
Continuing the legacy of Noctua’s classic NH-U-series, the NH-U12S has become a benchmark for slim, highly compatible 120mm single tower coolers.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 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 compatibilityThanks 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 fanRecommended 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 compoundHaving 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. |
