Noctua NH-U12S Redux CPU Cooler
True to the spirit of Noctua’s redux line, the NH-U12S redux is a streamlined, accessibly priced version of the iconic NH-U12S that has established itself as a benchmark for slim, highly compatible 120mm CPU coolers. The redux version uses the same proven heatsink layout that guarantees 100% compatibility with tall RAM modules as well as excellent case and PCIe compatibility. Thanks to the popular NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fan with automatic speed control, it provides high performance under load and runs whisper-quiet at idle. At the same time, Noctua’s renowned, professional SecuFirm2 mounting system and the pre-applied NT-H1 thermal compound make installation child’s play.

Has enough bits and gizmos in the package to suit any installation. Keeps my CPU nice and frosty. Do check the measurements though as it's a chonky beast.

This is my first noctua product and I must say it is really quiet compared to any other cpu fan I've used in the past. For the price is is definitely worth it. It keeps my i5-12600k at well below 40 degrees idle at only 30% speed, and while playing a game or doing anything cpu intensive I've never seen it go much above 60 degrees.The installation was actually really simple. The mounting brackets for amd, intel 12th gen, and below intel 12th gen are all included in the box. It took me no longer than 10 minutes to figure our how to install it. You get one fan out of the box but if you want you can buy the upgrade kit to get 2 fans for it.I highly recommend this to anyone with a mid range cpu. Really good product.

I've used Noctua air coolers for many years, and once again they've not let me down. The stock cooler that was included with my 12th Gen i5 12500 was TERRIBLE, with idle temps around 44 degrees C. With this Noctua cooler, my CPU now idles at around 35 degrees and under full load barely goes beyond 54 degrees.Installation was easy. The motherboard tray in my PC case has a cut-out under the CPU, so I didn't even need to dismantle the system to install this Noctua cooler. The best part was, the thermal compound is already applied to the cooler! I used ArctiClean (available from PB Tech) to remove the original thermal compound from my CPU before installation, though you can easily use normal isopropyl alcohol.Noise wise, my CPU doesn't put out enough heat to max out ...

Noctua always makes great products and this is no exception. Keeps the CPU temps down and was super easy to install even the variety of brackets. Thermal paste pre-applied as a bonus as well. One of the few coolers I could fund with LGA 1700 included.
Bought this to replace the stock cooler for my r5 3600. Wanted something quieter and more efficient, got both for sure. Dropped 10-15 degrees in all use cases and that's with setting fan curve at 50% up until it hits 60 degrees. Easy to install too, though I did have to take my PC apart.Would definitely recommend.
Noctua is one of the best pc fans in the world.And the warranty is awesome.!!!! They are made to very high standards. Also Noctua aims to be environmentally sustainable and with the products they Make. Highly recommended!!!!AAAAA+++++
Perfect cpu air cooler for a 12100f works like a charm and us quiet, these fit the LGA1700.
I put this cooler in my Lian Li case and it's as good as when I had water cooling. Highly recommend this if you need a cooler that is not too high from the RAM, but also doesn't take up too much space and want low temperatures.
Very good air cooler. There were no problems with the installation.Inside my case: 2 coolers 140mm for blowing in, 2 coolers 140mm for blowing up and 120mm for blowing out from behind. In the AIDA 64 Ryzen 3600 stress test, up to 4.1 MHz, it normally keeps 52-54 degrees at 50-60% of the rpm. In the test with the FPU turned on, the temperature is up to 77 degrees. When the processor is overclocked to 4.3 MHz, the temperature with the FPU is became already over 80C.I've used the Thermalright TF6 thermal paste.
Good all round performance,can't keep up with a 9900ks unfortunately.will have to get a 360 liquid cooler.Still a great cooler for NON OVERCLOCKED 15s and i7s.
