Review: Affordable and powerful - Great price for an amazing quality cooler. Easy to mount with clear instructions. Immediately cooled my cpu down to beautiful temperatures as well as being extremely quiet and efficient.
Review: Great Cooling Power and Exemplary Quality! - This cooler is made by Noctua. This is my first purchase from them, and they live up the their reputation for excellent quality and performance! I was using the stock AMD cooler (Wraith?) that came with my Ryzen 3600. While the stock cooler was adequate for simple tasks such as word processing or the Internet, it fell short for intensive tasks such as video encoding. Starting an encode would immediately shoot temperatures up to 95°C and stay there, severely throttling the CPU. After installing this cooler (it comes with a tube of Noctua's own quality NT-H1 thermal paste) and a fan curve adjustment to accommodate the greater cooling performance, the CPU temperatures are much lower and the computer is much quieter! Idle temperatures are about 32°–36°C. Testing the performance with some video encoding, temperatures where at 70°–75° after an hour and the CPU never throttled once—Full boost throughout the entire process! Mounting the cooler was simple and straightforward with excellent instructions and diagrams. All necessary parts are included in the box. The AMD and Intel components are separate to avoid mixing them up. Extra mounting pads and brackets where provided in case you wanted to install a second fan in a push/pull configuration. The black color looks great, as black goes with everything! (No, I am not just saying that because the rest of my build is black as well.) I also used the included paste to reapply the thermal compound on my PS4 Pro, with more left over for future applications as well! Overall, Noctua has earned a costumer in me and a spot on my recommendation list.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install - Maintains Excellent Thermals
*by C***Y on December 20, 2019*

As Most people that are currently buying this are most likely fans of Linus Tech Tips on YouTube, the LTT edition is pretty sweet in my opinion, the additional orange anti-vibration pads and the LTT stickers and badge are great. This is my first time reviewing a product that i have purchased on amazon and i felt that i needed to do just that, because this cooler aside from being the LTT edition, is the best CPU cooler that i personally have ever bought. i have built a couple of computers before and i'm not one of the ones who goes for all the overclocking and max speed that some people will do. i put this NH-U12S Chromax Black on my computer that i built in 2016, a Gigabyte 990FX ATX Motherboard with an AMD FX6350 Black Edition processor, in a Corsair Carbide Air 540 case. Unlike most of the recent CPU's that have came out in the last year or so that only use 65 to 90 Watts of power, the FX6350 is rated at 125 watts, and therefore gets quite toasty under full load. as of writing this i have been working my CPU to the max pretty frequently lately as i have found the joy in having my own Plex Server and using my PC to rip and encode my collection of old dvd's. with the stock cooler that came with my CPU, sitting there just idle (nothing running) it was staying around the 50C (122F) range , when running Handbrake to encode video, all cores on the CPU at 99% load, i was getting temps in the 80C - 90C (176F-195F) range and a max of 95C (203F) a couple of times on really long encodes. after installing the NH-U12S Chromax Black, i can't say enough about how well this thing works, it cut my CPU temps far more than i was expecting, now at idle running right around the 24C (75F) mark and i have seen it dip to 19C (66F) once. Now running Handbrake to do the same encode jobs i have not seen the CPU get past 50C (122F) at all. All of this is with what came in the box, no extra fan or anything just the 1 that came with it, and did i mention that this thing is stupidly quiet as well? i have my PC about 2 feet from me and it is about chest level when sitting in a chair and i can't hear it at all even when computer is under load. For my next PC build or for a friend/family member build, i will definitely be buying more Noctua Products, if the NH-U12S Chromax Black is still available at that time i will be buying another one hands down. hopefully this review is helpful to someone trying to make a decision
