    This is an excellent cooler that works well and provides good clearance for getting to the RAM on an AMD motherboard. We had an installation issue with an AMD AM4 socket that another reviewer noted. If you use the gray standoffs as stated in the instructions, you cannot get the threaded barrels started on the threaded posts. We contacted Noctua and they just said to use a bigger screwdriver. With the white standoffs, the installation went smoothly. There is only a 1 mm difference in length between the taller white standoffs and the gray standoffs. The spring-loaded barrels have at least 3 mm or 4 mm play, so the extra 1 mm for the standoff does not make a difference. Noctua needs to fix their instruction sheet.

    had it installed on both amd and intel systems installation is very easy and straightforward for both of you follow the instructions. thermals were better than other coolers i’ve tried. you can also upgrade it by adding another fan to the back which is great!

    La version chromax est superbe dun point de vue esthétique, et lefficacité est également au RDV : je constate 20 à 30° de différence avec le ventirad stock dAMD (Stealth).

    I bought this CPU cooling system from the recommendation of several different YouTubers and Im glad I did. I was looking for a good cooling unit that can handle an i9 processor overclocked and come to find out this was rated as one of the top ones that could handle it. Very easy to install and the directions are very clear. Definitely worth the money

    Noctua deserves all the praise it gets. This fan is insanely quiet.

    Not much better than the 212 evo, only purchased because I always wanted one before but couldnt stand the brown. The install, sound, temp and fit was better than the 212 evo. Not sure if its worth double the price unless you need the temp headroom for overclocking.

    I was looking for a replacement to the AMD stock cooler, which in itself is fine but I wanted something quieter and more effective when gaming. Having heard about Noctuas excellent reputation I decided to pull the trigger on a Chromax u12S.

    Its quieter than my Corsair H100i for sure, now I wont be bothered by the fan noise.

    And that someone loves it. He says performs much better than others he owned and much quieter than those other ones.

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 compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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-customisable

Using 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.
