NHU12SSEAM4, NH-U12S-SE-AM4
Overview
Continuing the legacy of Noctua's classic NH-U-series, which has received
more than 500 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites
and magazines, the NH-U12S has become a benchmark for slim, highly compatible
120mm single tower coolers. The SE-AM4 version is a dedicated special edition
for AMD's AM4 (Ryzen) platform, featuring the latest SecuFirm2 mounting system
for AM4. Topped off with the renowned quiet NF-F12 PWM 120mm fan, Noctua's
proven NT-H1 thermal compound and a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty, the
NH-U12S SE-AM4 forms a complete premium-quality solution that combines
outstanding performance, superb acoustics and excellent compatibility for AM4
systems.
Please note that as a dedicated special edition for AM4, the NH-U12S SE-AM4
comes with AM4 mounting hardware only, and that for this cooler, Noctua cannot
provide free mounting kits for other current sockets such as LGA115x or
LGA2011-x. For the NH-U12S SE-AM4, these mounting kits can only be purchased in
retail or online shops (NM-i115x for LGA115x and NM-I2011 for LGA2011-x). Future
mounting upgrades will be provided free of charge as usual if technically
possible.
Details
Award-winning NH-U12S cooler
Tens of thousands of enthusiast users all over the world swear by the
NH-U12S' quality and performance. Recommended by more than 200 international
hardware websites and magazines, it is renowned as being one of the best 120mm
coolers on the market.
Dedicated special edition for AM4
The NH-U12S SE-AM4 brings the NH-U12S signature quiet cooling performance to
AMDs new AM4 platform. With its excellent balance of efficiency, quietness and
compatibility, the NH-U12S SE-AM4 is a perfect fit for premium-class AM4
builds.
100% RAM compatibility
Thanks to its slim design, with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S will not
overhang the RAM slots on AM4 mainboards, even with two fans installed. This
gives the user easy access to the memory modules and allows using RAM with tall
heat spreaders or optional memory fans.
Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility
Standing 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or
high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the
cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX
motherboards, ensuring best compatibility with SLI and CrossFire setups.

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.

automatic speed control through the mainboard. In addition, the maximum fan
speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor
for even quieter operation.

the rear fan by 5mm to improve acoustics in dual-fan mode.
