Product Description

NH-U12S TR4-SP3 Header

Continuing the legacy of Noctua’s classic NH-U-series, which has received more than a thousand awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NH-U14S has become a benchmark for high-end 140mm single tower coolers. The TR4-SP3 version is a tailored custom model for AMD’ssTRX4/sWRX8/TR4/SP3 platform (Ryzen Threadripper / Epyc) and features a larger contact surface as well as the latest SecuFirm2 mounting system for socket sTRX4/sWRX8/TR4/SP3. Topped off with the renowned quiet NF-A15 PWM 140mm fan and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U14S TR4-SP3 forms a complete premium-quality solution that combines maximum performance and superb acoustics for enthusiast-grade sTRX4/sWRX8/TR4/SP3 systems.

NF-F12

120mm size for excellent performance and compatibility

With five heatpipes and the powerful NF-F12 120mm fan, the NH-U12S achieves outstanding cooling performance while maintaining excellent compatibility: At 158mm height and 125mm width, it is short enough to fit most modern tower cases and stays clear of the top PCIe slot on most motherboards.

SecuFirm2 mounting system for sTRX4/TR4/SP3

Noctua’s SecuFirm2 mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety and ease of use. The TR4-SP3 variant has been completely custom-designed for the new socket and is particularly easy to install: Put on the heatsink, fix the four spring-loaded screws and you’re done!

Offset mounting options for better PCIe clearance

In order to assure optimal compatibility with SLI and CrossFire multi-GPU setups, the SecuFirm2 mounting for sTRX4/sWRX8/TR4/SP3 makes it possible to offset the cooler by 3 or 6mm towards the upper edge of the motherboard, thereby increasing clearance of the top PCIe slot.

NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fan

Recommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts world-wide, the Noctua's premium quality NF-F12 Focused Flow 120mm fan is renowned to combine superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation.

18 customers mention18 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the cooling of the electronic component fan. They mention that the metal contact area is key to superior cooling, it keeps their Threadripper 1900X quite cool, and it has great cooling capacity. The fan is quiet and keeps the temps down, even when pushing their TR for hours on end. It saturated faster but also cools faster compared to water, essentially less lag in temps. Overall, customers are happy with the performance and recommend it to others.
