Smart Savings

Noctua NH-U12S redux is a slightly simplified and at the same time much cheaper modification of the Austrian cooler NH-U12S chromax.black. The novelty has lost its black colour, mounting brackets for the second fan and a tube of thermal paste. However, the default thermal interface is applied to the sole of the cooler.

Heat distribution

The number of heat pipes has also decreased — from five to four. However due to the use of an intermediary plate that distributes heat evenly over all tubes, the loss is not felt much. Proxy plate coolers are best suited for CPUs with multiple chips (chiplets) under a thermal cover, like Ryzen 5.

stabilizes itself

The height of the Noctua NH-U12S redux is almost 16 cm, and the weight of the heatsink together with the fan is approximately 750 g. chromax.black. Therefore, it starts not from silent 300 rpm, but from 450, which is still very quiet.

Useful addition

If desired, Noctua NH-U12S redux can be upgraded with a second fan. For this, the NA-FK1 upgrade kit is designed, which, in addition to the 12-cm turntable, includes mounting brackets, rubber vibration-absorbing pads, a splitter for connecting two turntables and a pair of speed-lowering resistors.
