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

I am in total awe of how well the Noctua fan performs. I never thought that fans this quiet can move this much air, so I am delighted to be wrong. The heat sink itself does a great job absorbing heat from my overclocked Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, but the the fan is still the star of the show. I have it set to 100% and it is barely a whisper while keeping my CPU under 60° C while gaming.

quoi dire de plus ... parfait jamais mon ordi a été aussi au frais

expensive for a heatsink yes , but for the performance its very good value for money excellent job of cooling and remains very very quiet

Me mantiene mi procesador a temperaturas por debajo de 65 grados incluso en pruebas multinúcleo de estrés y a un nivel de ruido realmente bajo. No me esperaba unos resultados tan tan buenos, estoy sorprendido para bien con este disipador. Te trae además una muy buena pasta térmica, piezas para montar un ventilador más en su otra cara, una llave para atornillar maciza... Los materiales del producto son de lo mejor, este disipador vale cada euro que he pagado.

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.

Excellent ventilateur de Noctua.

Sounds quiet, good temps in somewhat bad airflow case. I can fit my 4 stick RAM in fine without messing with cooler, could be a problem with much bigger heat spreaders though. Included thermal paste was a nice touch.

Performs just as well as the NH-U14S. Whisper quiet, keeps my CPU cool.

Perfect for my Ryzen 7 5800x3d

Used this for my Ryzen 3600 which made a big difference in idle temp and max temp when stress testing and gaming. but im not fully confident it will handle ryzen 7 or ryzen 9 fully. Anyway the cooler, packaging, content is top notch premium. worth every quid you paid for.
