    What was once the king of the air coolers has sadly fallen to the bottom of the pile. Noctua took the easiest, most well-built installation method and reverted to an old-school method that requires the placement of screws into the backplate (they used to be pre-attached) using plastic c-clips to hold it in place (cheap, easily broken) and Noctua includes two spare c-clips because, it says in the instructions, they can be damaged easily. The previous version of this cooler was practically impossible to install wrong or damage any of the components. So, Noctua kept the same model number, kept the same price, but completely changed the mounting method and materials. It is now one of the most difficult coolers to install because there are a lot of mistakes you can make.

    Tras hacer un cambio de caja (de una Jonsbo C3 a una NXZT H210i) por las temperaturas en verano, decidí comprar este disipador por su renombre y porque antiguamente ya había disfrutado de disipadores Noctua. En este caso me decidí por el chromax por estetica con los colores de la caja.

    Product is nearly flawless for the price. However, it can generate some noise when pushed. Overall, very happy with it!

    Very good performance for the price, thermal paste provided is great and 15-20 degree Celsius improvement over stock AMD cooler at max load

    Greater than one week

    I got this to replace an intel stock cooler in hopes of reducing temps under load and reducing noise level. The fan is quieter than the stock cooler I had and the temps are roughly 20 Celsius lower than my stock fan temps. It came with plenty of thermal paste, extra fan mounts, one fan, and mounting brackets for both amd and intel. The instructions were clear and besides concerns about mounting pressure it was quick and painless.

    Ottima ventola. Silenziose e bella da vedere. Lho installata allinterno di un case vetrato, dunque era per me necessario fosse esteticamente apprezzabile. La versione nera va benissimo, sinceramente quella beige e marrone mi piace un po meno. Applicata senza problemi sopra al processore fa il suo lavoro, mantiene la temperatura della CPU bassa. Allinterno della confezione è presente tutto il necessario per linstallazione. Consiglio il prodotto vista la qualità, dovrebbe durare nel tempo senza alcun problema.

    Montado en placa msi gaming pro carbon wifi con procesador ryzen 5 3600x, compre este disipador por que el de serie era una locura de ruido y muy poco eficiente, la verdad es que es grande, muy grande, en mi caja no toca el cristal pero apenas le faltan 2 dedos.

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.
