    Shipping was fast, straight from Austria to Western US during the pandemic. Exceeded my expectations! Thanks! This thing works! The stock cooler was garbage and I had endless overheating problems. This solved it. A bit louder than I would prefer, but if cools the CPU at a superb level, so whats not to like?

    This heatsink is incredibly well made. It has overall decreased my CPU temps by an avg of 10-15c. Would def recommend if you have a case big enough to support it.

    What was once the king of the air coolers has sadly fallen to the bottom of the pile. Noctua took the easiest, most well-built installation method and reverted to an old-school method that requires the placement of screws into the backplate (they used to be pre-attached) using plastic c-clips to hold it in place (cheap, easily broken) and Noctua includes two spare c-clips because, it says in the instructions, they can be damaged easily. The previous version of this cooler was practically impossible to install wrong or damage any of the components. So, Noctua kept the same model number, kept the same price, but completely changed the mounting method and materials. It is now one of the most difficult coolers to install because there are a lot of mistakes you can make.

    Montato con ventola singola su un Ryzen 3600, fa il suo dovere, in idle da bios mi segna 32-33°C, mentre in gaming su Borderlands 3 a settaggi medio-alti non supera i 59°C.

    Der Kühler kommt ordentlich verpackt mit allem benötigten Befestigungsmaterial und eigener Wärmeleitpaste, was die Installation sehr einfach gestaltet. Das befestigen war leicht und ging schnell, einfach passende Metalhalterungen wie in der Anleitung beschrieben auf das Motherboard setzen, dann den Kühler anbringen und zum Schluss den Lüfter mit den integrierten Clips befestigen. Der Lüfter hat vorinstallierte anti vibrationspads aus Gummi. Im Betrieb ist der Kühler kaum hörbar, selbst bei Last ist er sehr leise. Die Temperatur liegt mit 3 Gehäuse Lüftern in meinem Medium Tower bei maximal 70-75°C und das im Sommer bei 24-26°C Zimmertemperatur. Zu dem sieht der komplett schwarze Kühlkörper mit dem schwarzen Lüfter super schlicht und edel aus. Der Kühler mit Lüfter ist zu dem relativ schmal was bei meinem 4 RAM Riegel setup recht wichtig war. Das einzige manko ist meiner Meinung nach der stolze Preis. Man kriegt bei Noctua einen sehr guten Service und eine lange Garantiezeit geboten, allerdings ist die Konkurrenz davon auch nicht mehr weit ab.

    Solo superado por su hermano mayor el NDH 15, pero este es mas compacto y rinde casi igual, no necesitas mas que esto, recomendado 100%.

    Wie immer bei Noctua ein tolles Produkt. Ich würde noch einen zusätzlichen Lüfter empfehlen, um die Geräuschkulisse noch niedriger zu halten als sie es eh schon ist. Die schwarze Farbe des Kühlers sorgt für einen richtig edlen Look, der meiner Meinung nach eine gute Verbesserung gegenüber dem Vorgänger ist. Fühlt sich sehr wertig an. Gute und einfache Installation. Der beigelegte Schraubenzieher blätterte bei mir ein bisschen ab.

    E risaputo che la Noctua conduca le danze nel settore dei dissipatori ad aria e delle ventole e questo dissipatore non è da meno.

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.
