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

Paired it up with a Ryzen 3700X CPU, temps at idle are about 40C. Havent pushed it hard but Ive owned Noctua coolers before, never had any issue with them overheating. Installation instructions are clear and concise. Much more quiet than my AIO cooler!!!

OK, I have recently built 2 new machines, identical spec, with some slight differences in components. On machine 1, the Ryzen 3600 uses an Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo whereas on machine 2 I have fitted this Noctua. With no CPU tinkering of any kind, the Freezer cools its CPU by around 5 degrees more than this Noctua, and thats with the fan curve on the Freeezer dialled down somewhat to make it pretty much silent under load. So, when running something like Cinebench on them both, I would day the Noctua is slightly louder as well as not cooling as well - and this Noctua cost nearly double that of the Freezer.

this CPU fan is great quality, relatively quiet and keeps my CPU cool

Remember hitting the Gossip Stones in Zelda? They would blink a few seconds then takeoff like a rocket. That was the nickname I gave my new PC due to the Wraith Prism cooler. Everytime I started playing a game, I thought the PC was going to blast up through the ceiling.

Works and looks great, super easy instructions. was a breeze to install. Fan clips can be a pain depending on case and configuration. If its a tight fit I recommend installing with mobo out of the case. All necessary accessories. dropped temps 15C-20C compared to stock cooler. Silent.

Es un disipador muy bueno, el procesador bajo estrés alcanza temperaturas de 60° o 65°

Credo il miglior dissipatore che si possa trovare sul mercato. Silenziosissimo, anche mettendo sotto sforzo la cpu 2600x non lo si sente affatto. Temperature di 10 gradi in meno in idle e ben 20 sotto stress. Istruzioni dettagliate e super accessoriato, con supporti, cavi, pasta termoconduttiva e ganci anche per una seconda ventola, adesivi e gommini linus tech...insomma un casino di roba.

I bought the Noctua NH-12S as a replacement for a Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 cooler but I was very disappointed with the performance. The cooling capacity and the quietness of the Noctua is no better than the Pure Rock 2 and it costs less than half the price. The NH-12S may be a bit easier to install but removing it from a AM4 CPU is problematic as the crossbar fouls the threaded studs on the brackets attached to the back plate, so it is necessary to unscrew the brackets before twisting the cooler to prevent ripping out the CPU. There are positives such as the fan clips are very easy to attach and it certainly looks good. I thought with Noctuas reputation for quality it would be much better. If it were priced £40-£50 it would be a much better buy, but at the current price a couldnt recommend it

Korrektur:

It exceeded My expectations. Really good performance. Its also looks outstanding, i loved the texture of the paint. Also considerably silent.
