> 24 hourComes with hardware to mount 2nd fan, if you need it. Dropped my temps more than 25C from stock fan on Ryzen 5 3600. Super quiet. I had 170mm of space in my case, this measured 168mm, it fits perfect. Very impressed and hope to use this a long time.

> 24 hourAunque llegó con una semana de retraso, gracias. El enfriador por aire no es para los mid tower porque es sumamente alto con 16 CM, pero si tienes un full tower entonces no debería preocuparte.

> 24 hourFinally got around to replacing the stock Ryzen fan. Ryzen fan worked, but was noisy and constantly running at aa high speed under load. I know, I know, should have done long ago. The Noctua is quieter, cools way better and was easy to install with the motherboard still in the case (albeit a Fractal Design case, which are fantastic). Recommended for sure!

> 24 hourAwesome cooler 10/10, Prefer this over cheap AIO coolers. User with a good thermal compound like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. Check case compatibility on Noctuas site and Read last paragraph of review if you are replacing an existing CPU Cooler.

> 24 hourIgnore all the specs and just buy it. Its simply the best CPU cooler in its class (single 120mm air cooling fan and heatsink). After all, Noctua has always been a reputable, industry-leading manufacturer.

> 24 hourJai était assez déçus après 1 an jai décidé de reprendre un watercooling. Les températures nétaient pas bonnes, en moyenne jai perdu 10° avec le watercooling qui finalement nest pas beaucoup plus chère, de plus le bruit était bien présent, jai changé laa pâte thermique 2 fois en 1 an et rien ny à fait. Processeur AMD Ryzen 5 3600, carte mère Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X570 AORUS ELITE. Donc cela ne passe pas pour cette config avec une Radeon RX 5700 XT.

> 24 hourEasy 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 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. |
