> 3 dayPretty straight forward to install. Comes with an instruction packet as well. This is the second one I bought after i bought one for my brothers build. Noticed the temperature on his CPU was always low and since I was using a stock AMD Prism cooler I decided to upgrade to this one as well.

> 3 dayRecently I bought a prebuilt PC. In it, was a competitors 120mm AIO cooler. I figured, sweet, this will keep the 9700K, nice and cool. WRONG. I was hitting 90C-98C any time I tried to play a game. Changed out the thermal paste (twice), adjusted fan curves, checked drivers, PSU support, etc. Nothing worked. Picked up a new set of fans and it helped a little.

> 3 dayDissipatore eccezionale! Passare da un dissipatore stock intel a questo noctua (NH U12S BLACK) è stato come passare da una Panda ad una FERRARI, le temperature della CPU a riposo sono 19/23° contro 33/36° del diss. Stock intel. Non faccio overclock sicché non so dirvi se può essere adatto.

Greater than one weeki7 12700 se pone a 85º en la prueba cinebench r23 en multinúcleo, en mono núcleo no supera los 58º. En reposo sobre los 35/40º.

> 3 dayI used this to cool my i7-3770k cpu that I have overclocked to 4.5 ghz, 1ghz over the base clock. Even under 5 hours+ of borderlands 3 on the maximum graphics settings, and watching a stream on my second monitor, it kept my cpu at under 80 degrees C.

> 3 dayIts great for 8 core or less CPUs. Mounts nice, looks nice, good cooling on 65 watt tdp cpus or less. When i got the 5900x 12 core, i wanted to try it out and it spiked once to 90c and I shut it down. Upgraded to the NH-D15 and that one keeps up

> 3 dayPerfetto, montaggio davvero semplice, rumorosità minima con temperature ottime. Anche l’occhio vuole la sua parte in questa versione full black
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. |
