[SOLVED] will NH-U12S cool 3700X

[Impala640]

Hi, will the NH-U12S cool the 3700X? If so will it stay below 70C most of the time? what will be the resault of using the cooler? (like would it be good or bad)

Yes, it has much better performance than the cooler it comes with.

Do you already have this cooler or are you looking to buy one currently?

If so, WHERE are you located and where can you purchase from?

NH-U12s is a very good tower type air cooler.
The key is to have a case with sufficient front intake air to let the cooler do it's job.
Think two 120/140mm front intakes or better.

I'm using a NZXT 510 or something

I'm buying it from Newegg (sold by Noctua cooling solutions)

A very nice case. You have enough head room to install even a NH-D15 and sufficient intake to feed it.

This unit performs almost exactly the same as the U12S, looks better and is about thirty bucks cheaper. It's also quieter at full 12v speeds by about 2db.
