120mm size for excellent performance and compatibilityWith 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/SP3Noctua’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 clearanceIn 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 fanRecommended 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. |

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers like the electronic component fan for its superior cooling. They say it's quiet and impossible to hear over other components. Customers are also impresseded with the performance, saying it works better than expected. They like that it fits perfectly and is the perfect mix of size and cooling power. Customers also appreciate the quality of the product and the included thermal paste. They are happy with ease of installation.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
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.

From testing in an open Rosewill case, due to it being too high to put the lid on, but still tested as best as can be and comparing it to a NH-U9 TR4-SP3, in the same case with the same fan profiles, both with the same fan setup, single fan blowing through heatsink. It does run about 2c cooler under load and about 1c cooler at idle, both keep the 7551p Epyc under 55c even when under max cpu load. the U12s makes a bit less noise and would be a great option if putting it in a case that works, sadly not a 4U with out case mods.
Top reviews from other countries
Works great, and quiet.
Even under full load, never over 65c.
I also have a NH-U14S running on a 2950x, but you need a big case for that baby!
Either way Noctua is awesome!
Von daher Ok und volle Punktzahl.
Avec deux ventilateurs, il peut prendre en charge aussi les 2970WX et 2990WX.
Un excellent produit, à l'image de Noctua!
Mi sono convinto della scelta ad aria nel momento in cui ho visto un video della Noctua su Youtube, in cui venivano confrontati i loro dissipatori con quelli a liquido: l'efficacia è la medesima (per condizioni standard, non intendo overclock estremi) e il volume occupato dal Noctua è inferiore.
Anche i dissipatori a liquido sono affascinanti in quanto sulla CPU non presentano ingombri, tutto il volume si sposta sui radiatori di raffreddamento che sono veramente ingombranti. Molto più ingombranti di questo Noctua! E' una scelta di vita... ad ognuno la sua decisione.
In più, di dissipatori a liquido attuali coprano tutta la superficie del Threadripper, se ne trovano pochi. Il mercato è pieno di soluzioni modificate per Threadripper a livello di agganci, ma non per la superficie maggiorata di appoggio.
Ricordiamoci che siamo in presenza di una CPU con 180W (TDP) da smaltire a pieno carico!
Ho scelto questa versione 12S per AMD Threadripper 1950X in quanto la giusta via di mezzo: ingombra il giusto.
- La versione da 14 tende ad essere troppo larga e sembra invadere la zona delle RAM e potrebbe dare qualche interfernza con il primo slot PCI-express: dipende a quale distanza dalla CPU è stato montato il primo connettore PCI-express e questo varia per ogni modello di scheda madre. Sul sito della Noctua si trovano le schede madri compatibili in base al ventilatore.
- La versione da 9 sembra essere troppo lunga e peggiora il problema precedentemente menzionato delle RAM, anche se ha il pregio di poter stare in un cabinet di minori dimensioni.
- La 12S lascia più libero l'accesso alle RAM (ventola più distante dalla scheda madre), non dovrebbe dare problemi con il primo slot PCI-express ed ha una potenza di raffreddamento vicina a quella del 14S (che è veramente imbattibile).
Le dimensioni della base di contatto sono state aumentate per coprire totalmente la CPU, che presenta una dimensione fuori dal comune. Quindi è uno dei pochi in questo momento sul mercato che copre totalmente la CPU, migliorando l'efficienza nell'asportazione del calore.
CABINET/CHASSIS
Bisogna comunque prestare attenzione alle dimensioni del cabinet se si volesse installare questo dissipatore: ci deve essere abbastanza spazio e non tutti lo permettono. Da verificare sulla scheda tecnica del cabinet (qual è il massimo ingombro attuabile) e confrontarlo con quello riportato dal sito della Noctua.
MANUTENZIONE
La ventilazione ad aria mi rassicura maggiormente rispetto al liquido, soprattutto in prospettiva del tempo. Praticamente le manutenzioni sono nulle e se ci dovesse essere qualche malfunzionamento te ne accorgi subito e si può sostituire velocemente la ventola (non so per quanto riguarda i dispositivi con raffreddamento ad acqua).
TEMPERATURE
Col processore a pieno carico (16 core tutti attivi al 100%) e per tempi prolungati di calcolo (ore), la temperatura della CPU rimane stabile a 52°C (processore configurato in condizione standard, no overclock).
MONTAGGIO
Non posso fare commenti sulla facilità di montaggio, in quanto è un'operazione che è stata eseguita da terzi. Tuttavia, non mi è stato fatto nessun commento negativo, quindi immagino che sia "filata liscia".
SILENZIOSITA'
Buona la silenziosità. In giro si trovano recensioni a riguardo.
Ottima quella del 12S e 14S, leggermente peggiore quella del 9S (dovuto alla presenza obbligatoria di 2 ventole per sopperire alla minor dimensione del loro diametro).
COMMENTO FINALE
Al momento pienamente soddisfatto.
E' probabilmente la miglior soluzione che si trova sul mercato per processori AMD Threadripper.
