Would have expected better overclocking performance (blame Ryzen)
With the popularity of Ryzen there is a huge push to have plenty of cooling options on the market. What makes Ryzen so interesting is the 65w TDP making it one of the coolest performance CPUs on the market. This translates into systems that don't require...
Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 is well designed, high quality cooler which is one of the most interesting options for AMD Ryzen processors. It can handle 8 core processors without issues and at the same time keeps PC quiet. Users can't ask much more from a CPU coo...

Abstract: If you're a regular visitor to the pages of OC3D you'll no have noticed a bit of dearth of cooler reviews. The reason for this is simple, we've retired the old 2011 rig and have been busy specking up and putting together a new test rig. Not that the 2011...
The review of this cooler has left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth. While the cooler did offer fantastic build quality and great performance, the modified SecuFirm2 mounting system has shown me, in a fleeting glimpse, the forced limitations on the AMD...

The Noctua NH-U12S CPU Cooler is a basic CPU cooler that packs a punch! The punch doesn't impact your pocket book either. There is no reason why you shouldn't ditch that stock cooler that comes with your CPU cooler, as this is an extremely simply upgrade...

The complete package, N00bfriendly and solid mounting system, No need to pair it with a second NFF12 fan for dual setup, Generous amount of NTH1 thermal paste, Mediumtolarge memory kit friendly, Uptodate Motherboard compatibility list, The metal case badg
Not really ‘The ultimate' CPU air cooling solution, No significant cooling performance after adding the second NFF12 fan
Noctua U12S is priced for $64.62 at the time of writing, which sits between Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo priced for $63.98 and Coolermaster Seidon 120M priced for $64.99. On top of it, Noctua is giving extra fan clips for the second fan, a generous amou...

accessories for every situation, excellent performance, dead silent, excellent price
Noctua is building coolers for every budget and today I've tested their NH-U12S model. Having the experience with the NH-U14S, I could say that U12S is the smaller version of its brother, sporting 5% (3C) less performance for 16% ($10 / €9) lower value.It...
Abstract: For good or bad Summer is finally here which would explain why all of our 4 test rigs have begun heating up a lot more during these past few days as would the fact that i can't seem to be able to stay in front of our 800W photo bench for more than 20 minu...
Performance under all operating CPU and fan conditions, Build and machining quality of the cooler, Size compatibility with most motherboard configurations, Fan noise in all tested configurations, Manual quality
Price to performance ratio, Cooler heat pipe width should fit, but may be tight
The Noctua NH-U12S CPU cooler is another design masterpiece for Noctua. The unit has a very modern aesthetic with all surfaces either shiny aluminum or nickel-plated for that shiny chromed look. The construction of the unit was top notch with all solder j...
