> 24 hourSwitched from an AIO to the U12S, and could not be more happier. Noctuas SecuFirm mounting kit is easy to install, my temps are better than an AIO, and 6 year warranty. Chromax Black edition costs a bit more but the overall look is fantastic.

> 24 hourFirst build and quickly upgraded to this Noctua CPU cooler. Before ram could of been an issue with the stock AMD wraith cooler, but this cooler could not have any issues at all. More than enough room in my system.

> 24 hourPrior to installation, my CPU would run at between 30-32 degrees Celsius at idle and exceed 45 degrees Celsius on a AAA title gaming load. After installation, my CPU remains steady at 28 degrees Celsius on idle and ranges between 30-40 degrees Celsius on a AAA title gaming load. Really fantastic air cooler that rivals smaller radiators and can be near silent on idle loads- noise when you are gaming on a full-load CPU doesnt bother me.

> 24 hourProduct comparison shows that it should come compatible with the new LGA1700 sockets. This was not the case it only came with the previous generations brackets. If you need an LGA1700 compatible cooler be sure to order the additional mounting kit for another $10.

> 24 hourI bought this to replace my AMD Wraith Stealth stock cooler that came with my CPU. This is a huge improvement in both noise levels and cooling efficiency. It looks really slick in the black color as well.

> 24 hourNoctua is a really good high quality company. This was the easiest install of a CPU fan I have made. I have always been a fan of air coolers and this is way better than the stock air cooler. It is soooo quiet and the temps having reduced significantly. I absolutely love it and fits my itx board nicely.

> 24 hourNoctua una garanzia, dal montaggio alle prestazioni finali. Molto silenzioso e temperature molto basse, montato su x570 Aorus Elite per raffreddare una 3700x, non ingombra nessuno dei 4 slot ram
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. |
