Reddit mentions of Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4, Premium CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Brown)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9X2YYN

That is specifically for AM4. It will cool the CPU pretty much the same as the Hyper 612, but costs over twice as much. Pretty much every CPU cooler manufacturer offers a free AM4 bracket. There are only a few that come with the bracket and they're more expensive. It's up to you if sending an email and waiting a week is worth saving $35.

Also you can look at other air coolers. I was looking and it seems a lot of them do not come with a compatible bracket, and the ones that do are a bit more expensive than something like a 212 and ordered bracket.

Something like this

Anything like that or the 212 with AM4 bracket would be an improvement over stock cooler for sure!

Sure thing! I’m using an NH-12 like this one Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 Premium-Grade 120mm Tower CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9X2YYN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_10fuDbDV16QJF

But really any decent tower-type cooler with a 120mm or bigger fan will be more than enough to keep your CPU cool. Preferably one that uses a standard case fan so that down the road you can replace it or add a second fan if you want.

Doesn't list one, so I'd assume no.

I'd recommend the Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4.

No problem, and good luck! Make sure to do plenty of research before buying, there are a lot of options out there.

I personally just purchased this and I'm very happy with it.

Noctua has 3 models out that come with the correct mounting brackets. I bought this one for my 1700 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9X2YYN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Corsair also has 2 water coolering aio's - H110i and H100 v1 (not v2).

I just got this Noctua fan that comes with an AM4 mount. It is on the upper end of the price range, but pretty much the highest rated single fin tower fan you can get.

Noctua makes a few specific coolers for AM4 boards..

this
that

The 1700 is probably overkill for you, so the 1600 is an option. Also, unless you're planning on overclocking to 3.9ghz+, the stock cooler should be fine on the 1600 (not x series).

If you want to try fixing the thermal paste again, use this:

If you want to get a better cooler, forget the 212, blah, get this:

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-U12S-SE-AM4-Premium-Grade-Cooler/dp/B01N9X2YYN/

That doesn't look like the correct Noctua U12S for AM4 boards.

You're going to love this cooler. I have it and it is awesome. Super quiet and super efficient!

Edit: I should have said one ships with the AM4 bracket and one doesn't.

You can buy the Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 from amazon, it comes with the AM4 mounting kit, it will work on any am4 motherboard.
