NH-U12S chromax Black CPU Air Cooler I Intel LGA2066, LGA2011-0 & LGA2011-3 (Square ILM), LGA1200, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151, LGA1150 & AMD AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, FM2+ AM4

I revived an old computer with a new amd cpu which did not have a box cpu cooler so bought this cooler. It's good and keeps the temperature under check even under demanding conditions. Ordered an additional fan to cater for summer conditions.

Awesome cooler 10/10, Prefer this over cheap AIO coolers. User with a good thermal compound like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. Check case compatibility on Noctua's site and Read last paragraph of review if you are replacing an existing CPU Cooler. Wraith Cooler - Stock AMD Cooler with Ryzen 5 5600G Idle Temps - 42 Degree Celsius Max Cine-bench Multicore Test - 89 Degree Celsius Noctua NHUS12S Idle Temps - 33 Degree Celsius Max Cine-bench Multicore Test - 69 Degree Celsius Ambient Temps - ~25 Degree C First up , incase you are replacing an existing cooler DO NOT remove existing cooler before running the computer to bring up the temps. Otherwise the CPU can come off while removing the cooler. Happened to to me. Best thing run Cinebech or other benchmark software to increase CPU temps so that the thermal compound would be easier to separate.

Hello there , I'm writing this as it would be helpful for you whom are searching for a air cooler for your cpu. I have a ryzen 5600X processor & with its bundled cooler I'm getting temperature above 80°C during gaming which is extremely hot. After many searches all over google & YouTube. I have found this one as a best option for my ryzen 5600x processor. Installation of Noctua U12-S is very easy. After installing this Cooler now my cpu temperature drops almost 15°C , during long gaming session it hits to <70°c with also fan noice is negligible to notice. Surely go for it. It's the best cpu performing cooler to cool down your cpu , as well aesthetic also awesome chromax black🖤

This cooler works magic with my ryzen 5600g APU and b450 motherboard.... Noctua is perfect air cooler and it is little fragile in edges so be gentle while strapping it to heat sink... I ordered one more noctua fan for CPU cooler for push pull configuration... With rocking 4 additional RGB fans 2 pull and 2 push CPU temperature are very low and games has no throttling till now will update if any problem occurs... Noctua is overpriced in india.. One day Indian gamers will have same price as Us gamers but when is the question 😜...

I used it on ryzen5 5600, and temps is stable at around 50-60°c . And only max out at around 65°c after hours of gaming. Recommend for anyone who is tired of aio coolers...it even works better than thermatake th360 with push/pull fan configuration.

Its amazing ,using it on ryzen 7 5700x and idle temps are around 30-40C and when using or playing intensive games it reaches around 65C . Overall 10/10 would recommend to buy this rather than cheap AIO or cheaper air cooler .

Simple to install

I was using the Intel stock cooler for my 11th gen i5 before switching to Noctua. Oh boy, it was worth it! My onload temps dropped from 70 to 45. Idle temperature dropped from 45 to 30. This thing is just beautiful! Shell out a couple more bucks for the Chromax variant because it looks amazing.

Ryzen 7 7700X (105W) işlemcide Aida64 stress testinde 70 dereceyi geçmiyor. %100 Fan hızına karşın çok hafif rüzgar sesi çıkarıyor. Thermal Grizzly macun ile kullanmanızı şiddetle öneririrm.

I too would normally never write a single review on anything. Until I came into contact with the Noctua NH-U12S. Just built a new PC and was using the AMD stock wraith prism RGB cooler on my Ryzen 3900x. As a RGB fangay, I'm definitely one to not shy away from RGB and love the gimmicks that come with it. The AMD wraith prism cooler looked alright but was significantly loud on both idle and active use (streaming/gaming/editing/etc.). I managed to reduce the noise levels during idle but it was still fluctuating between extremely loud and okay/decent. I've heard from many sources stating that this could be changed in BIOS/software and I had taken the necessary steps to reduce the noise but I noticed it would come at the cost of CPU temp or inconsistent fan levels (might be a BIOS issue). The Noctua NH-U12S puts all of these worries to waste and more - it's a high performing fan that runs basically fully silent in both idle and active load (running at around 30-35 degrees celcius on idle). Simple to set up, manual guide easy to follow that even a monkey could do it and its compatible across both Intel and AMD sockets (seperate guides for each, all in the box). I would hands down recommend this to anyone that is thinking between the AMD wraith prism or another CPU fan. No doubt in my mind that this would impress anyone looking to upgrade/build a new PC with AMD's latest Ryzen CPUs.

Não faz nenhum barulho.

Il Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black si distingue per la qualità eccellente dei componenti e la facilità di installazione. Le istruzioni sono chiaramente separate per processori AMD o Intel, e all'interno della confezione è incluso tutto il necessario, persino il cacciavite. La ventola si inserisce e rimuove con estrema semplicità, il che rende il posizionamento molto agevole. Personalmente, l'ho installato su un AMD 7600x e, in condizioni di riposo con il profilo prestazionale attivato su Windows, la temperatura si mantiene intorno ai 33°C, mentre sotto stress, con tutti i core in funzione, la temperatura media arriva a 77°C. Sono estremamente soddisfatto delle sue prestazioni. Oltre alla qualità costruttiva, un altro aspetto che mi ha sorpreso è l'incredibile silenziosità del dissipatore. L'ho installato su un Ryzen 3700x con overclock, dentro una Fractal Pop Air white RGB, e devo dire che il Noctua ha prestazioni eccellenti. La stabilità delle temperature è fenomenale: anche sotto carichi pesanti come After Effects, Blender, Photoshop o durante il gaming, il dissipatore mantiene la CPU sotto i 65°C, senza alcuna variazione nel rumore. A differenza dei sistemi di raffreddamento a liquido che ho usato per anni, il Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black è così silenzioso che spesso mi dimentico di averlo acceso. In conclusione, se state cercando un dissipatore che combini silenziosità, efficienza e facilità di installazione, il Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black è la scelta perfetta. Dopo questa esperienza, sono convinto che i ventilatori Noctua saranno una parte fissa dei miei PC in futuro.

i use this for an i7-13700kf, for two years no issues with heat
