Tiny issue with shipping, but a perfect cooler to buy especially if you're first starting out
Shipping was a minor issue (I'm aware that some parts of shipping isn't controlled by the seller so I'll still give full marks) , but the cooler is amazing. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants effective cooling with minimal noise

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.

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🖤

I needed a new cooler for my ASUS Z390 TUF-Gaming Plus WIFI ATX motherboard since I lost the mounting plates for previous cooler (switched from AMD to Intel CPU). I heard the Noctua fans were really quiet and like everyone else I really can't stand that brown color. The backplate for the classic EVO 212 was too tall for my case (Elite 430)- again typical problems with EVO 212 just being such an awkward size for so many systems. Thought I'd give this a try because it looks awesome and have heard good things, and the price seemed reasonable. Not only did the NH-U12S backplate fit just fine, it was far easier to install than the D92 I had previously. It fits perfectly and the instructions were fairly straight forward, with lots of guides online to help guide me. The fan is remarkably quiet I honestly thought my previous fans were quiet but I'm going to be replacing every fan in my system now with Noctua (if I can find black) or something similar. It keeps the CPU very cool and even when it picks up at full RPM its very quiet - and I'm not even using the like adapter PWM switch it came with (which allegedly makes it even quieter). Honestly this CPU cooler looks awesome and works awesome and was almost a joy to install (took me a while, but half of that was figuring out how to use the thermal paste LOL - twist the black cap - use pliers (carefully) if you need better grip). Only complaint is that I wish it came with a second fan so I could have the push / pull arranagement - it does come with the extra clip though so you can easily attach another fan - I just want all black instead of the antique signature brown lol) 5/5 would buy again. Looks almost apple-esque if you add a matching all black push fan.
