    Replaced factory ryzen 5 cooler because it couldn’t keep up playing Cold War. Temps dropped from about 90° to maxing out at 75° C. Very happy with Noctua’s case fans and this air cooler

    Dopo averne provati altri, dove il contatto con il processore non era preciso. Qui la tecnica usata è risultata vincente; due viti con molle di pressione assicurano un perfetto contatto. 30 a riposo 60 sotto stress.

    Dieser Kühler kam auf mein Asus Mainboard mit dem neuen i710700K. Er kühlt den Prozessor bei 25°C Raumtemperatur im Idle auf ca. 30°C und im Spielbetrieb geht er nicht über 65°C. Das ist finde ich für mein altes Gehäuse mit Netzteil ohne Kabelmanagement ein sehr erstaunlicher Wert. Hatte anfangs Bedenken, da ja viele schreiben dass die 10te Generation der I7 sehr heiß werden. Kann ich nicht bestätigen.

    Long story short. IMO, Noctua make some of the best CPU air coolers on the market.

    Premetto che lo sto usando con un processore che non scalda molto tuttavia volevo un dissipatore di qualità e questo lo è sicuramente.Facilita nellistallazione e silenziosissimo.

    Ive always heard Noctua coolers are fantastic for their cooling performance and silent operation. And yes they sure are amazing. It managed to keep my Ryzen 5 1600 OCd to 3.9GHZ on 1.36v under 70° Celsius through 1 hour RealBench and ten Cinebench R20 stress test. On idle, it would be around 25° - 35° Celsius. The Wraith stock cooler would easily go up to 95° Celsius which was uncomfortably high before it shut itself down during stress test. Would definitely buy again for future builds.

    Simplemente espectacular... Mucho mejor que la refrigeración líquida para mi, silencioso, sin miedo a deterioro del líquido o rotura de algún manguito.

    Noctua è sicuramente lazienda n.1 al mondo nella produzione dei dissipatori, attenti ai minimi dettagli...con ryzen 3600 temperatura in idle sempre sotto i 40° e sotto teststress al 100% massimo 73°.

    Recommended as replacement to stock AMD and Intel cooler. Temperature is reduced by 20 deg C under heavy CPU usage

    the ramp up fan speed and fall is more noticeable then my stock AMD cooler but my performance has improved in 3d mark and looks good so still worth the money in my opinion

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.
