Socket processor fan AMD.
Part of Noctua's renowned NH-U series, which has received more than 500 recommendations and awards from international magazines and specialist websites, the NH-U12S has become a benchmark tower fan for its compactness and compatibility.The NH-U12S has become a benchmark 120mm tower cooler for its compact size and compatibility. The SE-AM4 (Ryzen) version has been specifically designed for AMD AM4 configurations and features a SecuFirm2 mounting system that is specifically compatible with AM4.
Equipped with a renowned 120mm fan - the NF-F12 PWM - the NH-U12S SE-AM4 cooling system is supplied with NT-H1 high-performance thermal paste, benefits from a full manufacturer's warranty, and has been designed for the AM4.6-year manufacturer's warranty, making it a high-quality solution that combines performance, silence and an excellent level of compatibility for AM4 configurations.
The NH-U12S SE-AM4 gives the new AMD AM4 platform access to the acoustic and cooling performance for which the NH-U12S is renowned. Thanks to a perfect blend of efficiency, silence and compatibility, the NH-U12S SE-AM4 is the ideal companion for high-end AM4 configurations. 158mm high, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit into most of today's mid-range and high-end tower cases. For ATX and Micro-ATX motherboards, the 125mm width (including fans and mounting clips) keeps the heatsink away from the last PCIe slot, offering greater compatibility with SLI and CrossFire configurations.
Acclaimed by over 150 specialist articles and thousands of users worldwide, theNF-F12 Focused Flow is a high-flying fan renowned for its astonishing static pressure, cooling performance and extremely low noise level.
The 120mm NF-F12 fan supplied with the NH-U12S can benefit from automatic PWM speed control via the motherboard. What's more, to further reduce noise emissions, the maximum speed can be capped at 1200rpm (instead of 1500rpm) by using the Low Noise Adapter (L. N.A.).For those wishing to further enhance performance, the addition of a second fan will enable a 'push/pull' configuration to be created. To this end, the NH-U12S is supplied with tailor-made anti-vibration mountings that allow the rear fan to be shifted by 5mm to improve acoustic comfort in dual mode (dual fan).
Noctua SecuFirm2 mounting systems have become the ultimate benchmark for quality, reliability and ease of installation. The SecuFirm2 system for AM4 allows the ventirad to be installed in the traditional way, or with a 90° pivot, to guarantee excellent compatibility and optimum flow taking into account the constraints of the case.Noctua's NT-H1 pad offers very low thermal resistance, reliability and ease of application.

This ventirad provides excellent cooling while remaining silent. Installation is simple and it adapts perfectly to my configuration without interfering with the other components. The build quality is top notch, as always with Noctua. If you're looking for an efficient and discreet ventirad for your AM4 processor, I highly recommend it.
* Does its job in silence.
* Connections provided very well (extension cable...).
* I'm not sure how to use it, but it's a good idea to use it for a lot of things.
I've been swearing by Noctua fans for over 10 years now, and I'm never disappointed. This model weighs its weight, and is really imposing. The ram strips just barely fit. I put the small adapter (included) that makes it run slower, so you don't hear it at all. And it's more than enough to cool an AMD 5600X processor.
A good product that cools my AM4 processor very well.
But the price is not very competitive compared to the competition. LDLC offers a quality of service that is reflected in the final price.
The difference is incredible. I use it with a Ryzen 3600.
With the basic ventirad, I was running at 80-85° in games on BF5. Now I don't exceed 45° in the same conditions.
As far as noise is concerned, it is very quiet and the installation is easy. The thermal paste seems to be of good quality considering the performance.
