> 3 dayShipping 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?

Greater than one weekI used it for my first build, couldnt compare it to other coolers, but its working great so far. Great cooler for Ryzen 7 3rd gen. Keeps the CPU cool at 45c at idel while being quiet and Easy to install.

> 3 dayI hardly even remember installing this cooler. Meanwhile, I vividly remember installing an AMD Wraith Stealth a week prior without removing my motherboard from the PC, which resulted in the ruined thermals that caused me to buy the NH-U12S. Dont make that mistake. :)

> 3 dayNoctua aveva un solo problema... lestetica. Obiettivamente, per i PC moderni, i colori marrone-beige è un pugno nellocchio, quindi grazie Noctua che ci hai regalato la versione Chromax dei tuoi prodotti, che unisce la solita eccelsa qualità ad una estetica full black che a me piace tantissimo.

> 3 dayIt is my first Noctual product. The quality is so good for cooler itself and packaging. Noise level is pretty low and full load noise is also very comfortable feeling.
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. |
