> 3 dayFor those wondering, intels LGA 1200 supports the same layout as LGA 1151, so this cooler fits just fine. Using it on a ASUS Strix B460-I ITX motherboard with an i7-10700 and it keeps the CPU under 70 degrees at maximum load in a Fractal Design Nano S. Cant be more pleased with this purchase.

> 3 dayDissipatore ottimo con il cavo per la riduzione del rumore incluso il suono e pari a zero. Senza invece un po rumoroso. Raffreddamento eccezionale. Parecchio grosso non adatto a tutti i case

Greater than one weekArrived promptly however the price quoted did not include VAT so it was more expensive than quoted. Cost GBP 121+ incl delivery. Deceptive behaviour - quoting price and omitting that it did not include VAT

> 3 dayJutilisais anciennement un cooler master ML120R (watercooling) pour mon ryzen 5 3600x, au bout de même pas 2 ans il faisait un bruit monstre comme si un cailloux claquait dans tous les sens dans le ventilo, le Noctua lui, est complètement silencieux, si bien quon se demande si il tourne bien!!

> 3 dayWorks better than my 240mm AIO I was using before! Even in my Inwin A1 case, my R5 1600x doesnt go above 70°C under load.

> 3 dayUnboxing was a pleasant experience. Noctua really put attention to detail in the way they pack things together and give you lots of extra bits in case that you need them. In my case I used the included AM4 backplate with my motherboard and installation was really easy. Took me 5 minutes in total, remove the old Wraith stock cooler, clean paste, reapply paste and screw in new cooler.

Greater than one weekOverall a great heatsink keeps CPU at max clock speed (havent tried with overclock) on ryzen 2700X.
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. |
