> 24 hourI put this on to cool my Ryzen 9 5900x. Added an extra fan to knock off a few degrees. Don’t let the size fool you, it does it’s job well while gaming on ultra settings!!

> 24 hourVerify your clearance. This is a tall cooler. But it brought my thermals down 30degrees C.

> 24 hourWhile my friend was the one who installed it for me, the installation was simple and straightforward. The built quality is also top-notch as expected. It definitely keeps my CPU cool at around 67 Celsius when operating multiple softwares. Black-out products are fire.

> 24 hourHochwertige und geräuschoptimierte Lösung! Einfach klasse und Noctua typisch tolles Teil.Da der NH15 D S bei mir ein Problem mit den Alu Kühlrippen hatte und Störgeräusche produziert hat, ist dieser Kühler als Ersatz an dessen Stelle getreten.Deutlich kleiner und leichter,dabei aber nur minimal lauter.Einfach klasse,sehr zu empfehlen suf einem Asus Z390 E Board mit einem I5 Prozessor. Einbau war kinderleicht solange man gut an die Rückseite des Boards kommt.Platz ist genug, keine RAM Slots blockiert. Alles in allem: 100% Empfehlung

> 24 hourI had a Corsair AIO liquid cooler for years and thought it worked fine. Needed something quieter and this thing delivers. 3-5dB quieter and consistently 10F cooler than the Corsair.

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. |
