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-U12S has become a benchmark for slim, highly compatible 120mm single tower coolers. The TR4-SP3 version is a tailored custom model for AMD’s TR4/SP3 platform (Ryzen Threadripper / Epyc) and features a larger contact surface as well as the latest SecuFirm2™ mounting system for socket TR4/SP3. 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 TR4-SP3 forms a complete premium-quality solution that combines outstanding performance, superb acoustics and excellent compatibility for high-end TR4/SP3 systems.
Please note that the NH-U12S TR4-SP3 is a dedicated version for the AMD TR4/SP3 socket. Due to its customised larger base, it cannot be used on any other sockets and is incompatible with Noctua’s standard mounting kits.
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.
Tailored custom version for TR4/SP3 (Ryzen Threadripper /
Epyc)
At 70×56mm, the copper contact surface of the TR4-SP3 version is more than
double the size of the standard model. Tailored to fit the enormous integrated
heat-spreaders (IHS) of AMD’s TR4/SP3-based processors, this customised
design allows for an optimal heat flow from the CPU over the base to the
heatpipes and on to the cooling fins.
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.
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.
PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor
The NF-F12 120mm fan supplied with the NH-U12S supports PWM for convenient
automatic speed control through the motherboard. In addition, the maximum fan
speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor
for even quieter operation.
Anti-vibration pads and fan-clips for second NF-F12
(optional)
For users who want to achieve even better performance by adding a second,
optional NF-F12 fan to create a push/pull setup, the NH-U12S includes fan clips
and an extra set of custom-designed anti-vibration pads that allow to off-set
the rear fan by 5mm to improve acoustics in dual-fan mode.
SecuFirm2™ mounting system for 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 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.
NT-H1 thermal compound
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware
journalists around the world, Noctua's NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM
solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and
outstanding reliability.
