> 3 dayI used to use the stock wraith prism for my Ryzen 7 3800x and this is so much quieter and much better at keeping the processor cooler

> 3 dayThis is the 2nd best cooler on the market out of the box but once you add a 2nd chromax fan on yes it makes it a very large cooler its right up there with the nh d15 easy to install and my ryzen 9 3900x doesnt break a sweat

> 3 dayNoctua. Dieser Name steht für die Nr.1 der CPU Luftkühler und deren Lüfter. Nie hörte ich etwas schlechtes über diese Firma und deren Produkte und die Qualität ist sowieso unbestritten. Die Optik und der Preis hielten mich aber stets davon ab etwas von Noctua zu verbauen.

> 3 dayI returned a cheaper cooler because it was too difficult to install and decided on spending the Noctua premium and went with this amazing cooler. The build quality is fantastic, install was flawless, and the chromax black along with the additional heatsink cover I purchased looks amazing. Will always recommend noctua products. Hopefully one day they’ll get into the RGB game!

Greater than one weekVery easy to install on my prebuilt PC my prebuilt was getting near 85c on heavy gaming sessions after installing this bad boy even when I’m streaming I get only up 71c so glad I bought this instead of a Expensive AIO.

> 3 dayeasy installation, looks great in black for my black tower build, and fits perfectly in my corsair ATX case.
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. |
