Requires Absolutley for AM4

Does what it's supposed to. I had a bit of a panic attack trying to install it and I had nothing to attach myself to. When removing the previous standard cooling, the AMD backplate fell off behind the mainboard and landed on the padded cover of the case. I didn't hear or notice it. When I started the installation the screws just dangled and there was nothing to fasten. The backplate just rested on the mobo's holes, so I had to get help to set the case up, have someone hold the backplate in…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Worked great for converting a previously installed Noctua NH-U12S.

Worked great to convert the Noctua NH-U12S previously installed on an Intel Z270 motherboard for use with the new AM4 Ryzen motherboard. Noctua gives owners this kit for free, but I needed it for an upgrade quickly and the price I paid for it was reasonable.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options

Additional functions?

I bought the noctua NH-U12S regular version together with the NM-AM4-UxS mounting kit for my Ryzen motherboard. However, the NH-U12S already came with ALL the mounts, including the AM4 (I was expecting the mounts to be Intel only). With the standard AM4 bracket, airflow is directed to the back of the motherboard (where all your USB/LAN sockets are). The NM-AM4-UxS kit includes two sets of AM4 mounts, allowing you to rotate the turret 90 degrees. In general this is a good quality product.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Legacy

Beautiful packaging - computer and accessories

I bought a Noctua NH-U9S and thought I needed it to install on my AMD processor. Turns out I didn't need it as the cooler comes with an adapter so I didn't use it. Nice packaging, just like every other Noctua product.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Only available in white
