    Paid $80 and only half of the bracket kit was included. Wasn’t even one full kit for either AMD or Intel, it was just bits and pieces of both kits. So guess I’ll go buy some brackets.

    Brought this for a Ryzen 5 3600. Out of the box I was surprised by the quality and accessories that came with it. Extremely easy setup, didnt even need to remove my motherboard, GPU, or remove anything from my case, except my stock cooling fan. And you really see how good this cooler is when temps start to rise because it keeps the CPU cool with very little noise. Best cooler Ive purchased so far.

    This is hands down the best CPU cooler I could have asked for! It was not that hard to install and my temps have gone down significantly! I was using the stock cooler for ryzen 5 3600 and I was getting temps around 55-65 with just being on zoom and having a word doc open. Now on idle I am around 34-40 degrees. I even played msfs2020 and lingered around 60-70 degrees! My opinion do not get an AIO Get this instead!

    Me costo algo instlarlo debido a mi inexperiencia, pero lo recomiendo. La temperatura bajo 30 grados aprox a diferencia del cpu de stock que tenia mi ryzen 5600x, lo recomiendo usar junto con otro ventilador para la salida del aire.

    This is an excellent cooler that works well and provides good clearance for getting to the RAM on an AMD motherboard. We had an installation issue with an AMD AM4 socket that another reviewer noted. If you use the gray standoffs as stated in the instructions, you cannot get the threaded barrels started on the threaded posts. We contacted Noctua and they just said to use a bigger screwdriver. With the white standoffs, the installation went smoothly. There is only a 1 mm difference in length between the taller white standoffs and the gray standoffs. The spring-loaded barrels have at least 3 mm or 4 mm play, so the extra 1 mm for the standoff does not make a difference. Noctua needs to fix their instruction sheet.

    As a newbie computer builder I made a big mistake. I saw this same air cooler in so many lian li cases on youtube I assumed it was my best option for my lian li o11 dynamic. Yes, it is a water-cooler primary case, but so is the lian li o11, o11 Dynamic xl and o11 mini which all fit the case size.

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.
