> 24 hourThe Wraith Spire is a good cooler, just a little noisy for me since my computer is sitting on the desk right next to me. I have been doing folding and my CPU was hitting 94c. With the NH-U12S I am hitting 88c and the noise levels are much better (with the single fan it comes with). Super easy to install!

> 24 hourGreat fan. Comes with a weird screwdriver that I dont need but feel too bad about to throw away though. It always bugs me when a product I buy comes with a worse version of a tool I already own. Its a waste of resources.

> 24 hourAcheté pour refroidir un Ryzen 5600X, dont le ventirad dorigine nétait pas assez performant. Les températures sont exceptionnelles, 30° en idle (bureautique), et un maximum de 60 degrés en jeu, sur des titres gourmands comme Cyberpunk avec les settings aux maximum. Il est pour moi le meilleur compromis performances/encombrement quun Noctua DH-D15.

> 24 hourMehr brauch man eigendlich nicht sagen, Noctua baut sehr gute Kühler. Der Kühler sieht gut aus und lässt sicht leicht montieren. Auch finde ich die Lautstärke und die Kühlleistung sehr gut. Jedoch finde ich den Preis etwas zu hoch, angemessen würde ich 50-55 Euro finden. Da andere Hersteller Kühler mit ähnlicher Kühlleistung, Design, Leistung und Größe deutlich günstiger anbieten. Naja der Noctua ist da sowas wie der RollsRoyce und den CPU Kühlern. Daher ziehe ich wegen dem Preis einen Stern ab.

> 24 hourThis thing is way better than the stock Ryzen Wraith Prism. It lowered the temps of my 3800x by double digits and the fan is way quieter.

The NH-U12S chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s NH-U12S premium-quality quiet CPU cooler. Thanks to the same proven slim-tower heatsink design and NF-F12 PWM fan, it stays true to the NH-U12S’s successful formula of fusing excellent cooling performance with superb quietness of operation and outstanding RAM, case and PCIe compatibility. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fan and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12S chromax.black is a premium choice for customers who seek a highly compatible 120mm heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent case and PCIe compatibilityStanding 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on most standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups. |
100% RAM compatibilityThanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and ensures 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans. |
NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow fanRecommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts worldwide, the Noctua’s premium-quality NF-F12 Focused Flow 120mm fan is renowned for combining superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation. |
Colour-customisableUsing the optional NA-HC1 and NA-HC2 heatsink covers as well as the NA-SAVP1 anti-vibration pads (available in black, blue, green, red, yellow, white), the NH-U12S chromax.black can be fully customised to fit popular build colour schemes such as black and red or black and white. |
