    Works excellent. I have a NZXT 500 case with a Ryzen 5 1600 processor. With the stock AMD cooler I was around 190*F gaming, but with this cooler it never goes above 155*F, and its significantly quieter.

    francamente speravo di ottenere di più da qusto noctua.. ho avuto altri dissipatori sempre comprati su amazon, che sicuramente costavano di più ma che raffreddavano in modo estremamente migliore. il dissipatore fa il suo, ma con la CPU sotto pressione, nel mio caso un ryzen 3800, la ventola gira e non poco.. e si sente.. certo niente a che vedere con la ventola stock di amd, li sembra di essere in un salone di parrucchieri nellora di punta di sabato dal rumore di ventola che fa. però insomma.. senza infamia e senza lode.

    Solo superado por su hermano mayor el NDH 15, pero este es mas compacto y rinde casi igual, no necesitas mas que esto, recomendado 100%.

    I needed a better cooler for my pc as the stock one from amd is a bit loud and didnt do a great job of cooling my cpu ones I upgraded it and got a new 3080. The fan is seriously quiet and it looks sleek in the black. Mounting it is simple and straightforward, it includes all the brackets you need for intel or amd, and it also came with thermal paste. It might be a bit pricey and depending who you ask may not be all worth it, but with Noctua having the reputation it does, its worth it for me.

    Cosa dire? Il dissipatore fa egregiamente il suo lavoro, le temperature sono scese di circa 10 gradi e il rumore è pari a 0. Noctua è una garanzia e da qualità ai propri prodotti. Se cercate un buon dissipatore ad aria non abbiate dubbi.

    era tanto che aspettavo questa colorazione da noctua, purtroppo il marrone non mi è mai piaciuto! bellissimo il dissipatore quanto silenzioso, linstallazione è stata semplicissima! le temperature della CPU risultano molto basse anche a pieno sforzo, le NH-U12S non hanno nulla da invidiare agli ormai, sempre più spammati, dissipatori a liquido AIO! consigliatissimo lacquisto!

    had it installed on both amd and intel systems installation is very easy and straightforward for both of you follow the instructions. thermals were better than other coolers i’ve tried. you can also upgrade it by adding another fan to the back which is great!

    I have a intel i5 12600K 12th gen processor (LGA1700) and it keeps it very cool. Under normal use on computer temps are around 28-35 degrees. While gaming this fan keeps my cpu around 42-60 degrees which is brilliant as my cpu has a recommended max temperature of 82 degrees. I would definitely recommend this fan for gaming.

    Easy to read and understand mounting instructions. Great packaging. Lowered my i7 10700k temperatures by 15-20 degrees C on average versus the stock cooler. Couldn’t be happier with this product.

    The noise is minimal especially when you are gaming with headphones or listening to music or watching YouTube. I use hyperX earphones so nothing fancy to block to fan noise which is minimal.

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 compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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-customisable

Using 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.
