Will the Noctua NH-U12S be fine for the ryzen 3900x?

i will upgrade to ryzen in the near future, preferably the 3900x. I currently am using the Noctua NH-U12S in my current setup, and I want to keep on using this cooler when i move to ryzen. I have tried to check online for info on this cooler and possible temps, to much avail, so i am asking here.
thanks for any help!

Hi welcome

Yes the Noctua will be fine for the 3900X.

What temperatures can I expect to get? I have asked a few people and they said it would run kinda hot...

thanks for help! i found my cooling kit in my noctua box. i have a crystal 460x case atm, with 8 fans, 2 being the cpu cooler ones. they are sp120s.
