> 3 dayHavent build a new system in 6+ years, but I wanted something both low power and much quieter than my last build. Ended up paring this cooler with a Ryzen 5600X. Had a liquid cooler with my last system, so I was already a fan of getting the heat dissipation away from the CPU unlike how the stock coolers handle it. But Im loving this concept of the large, raised radiator and essentially snapping a case fan to it. Will make maintenance ridiculously simple should the fan ever give trouble. No need to mess with the thermal paste ever again. And combined with the low TDP processor, Im barely hearing the fan except at very very high loads. I did purchase and use the AM4 mounting kit for the option to rotate the installation 90 degrees, but ended up mounting in the default configuration anyway. Will absolutely use this again in any case large enough for it.

Greater than one weekEl ryzen 3600 genera mucho calor, el disipador incluido hacía demasiado ruido. Con este me bajó la temperatura unos 10c en la prueba de cinebench y prácticamente no hace ruido.

> 3 dayThis CPU cooler looks very high quality and performs well. If you want a quiet CPU cooler, get this. I cant tell anymore when my CPU is under load because this thing is so quiet.

> 3 dayAll parts are metal: no situation when one metal part breaks plastic part, very solid, it was joy to instal. Using with LGA 1700.

> 3 dayWahnsinns Kühler! Er kühlt meinen Ryzen 5 3600 im Idle auf 26 Grad Celsius und bei maximaler Belastung bei einem Takt von 4,15 GHz und 1,4 Volt kommt der gute gerade einmal auf 52 Grad Celsius bei eingestellter Lüftergeschwindigkeit um 1220 U/min. Hören tue ich im besten Falle nur die RTX 2060 Super. Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung

> 3 dayHo un ryzen 5 3600 e con il dissipatore stock raggiungeva temperature da capogiro con conseguente calo delle prestazioni.

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. |
