> 24 hourI have one installed on my desktop to replace the original fan that burned after 5 years of continues usage, it works great; computer is nice and cool, and its very quiet, you can barely hear it...

> 24 hourThis is probably the easiest to install CPU cooler I have ever purchased. The mounting system is very simple and works well. The installation instructions were easy to understand and covered all aspects of the installation. The performance is also very good and the CPU temperatures are low. I replaced the standard Intel CPU cooler which was a piece of junk and did not work at all. This is a vast improvement and was worth the premium price.

> 24 hourEs muy bueno, mi procesador con uso basico no sube de los 40 grados, a veces hasta jugando, se mantiene la temperatura!!!, hay que instalar todos los drivers necesarios para que todo funcione correctamente, antes de los drivers si tenia problemas de temperatura, pero no era culpa del Cooler!!!, este Cooler entra perfecto en un Case Tuf 301

> 24 hourI bought this in a rush to replace my NZXT Kraken AIO that had suddenly kicked the bucket causing my CPU to thermal throttle while doing simple tasks - couldnt be happier! I configured it with the radiator fan from the defunct AIO in a push-pull setup and its actually keeping my CPU cooler than the AIO ever had. I get average idle temps around 32c on an overclocked i7 8700k , and under load I have yet to see my temps exceed 85c.

> 24 hourRelatively easy install, could have been easier if I didnt do it by myself but regardless, temps down almost 20 Celcious (From 65-70 to 45-50) under load and about 8-12 degrees while idling. Love this baby!
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. |
