> 24 hourGreat product! Bought this as part of a refresh of one of my older PCs. Definitely don’t regret it! Easy install and it looks good in the all black build.

> 24 hourIch bin so glücklich mit diesem Kauf hatte davor eine Msi Maq Coreliqid 240r die ja dann zurück genommen wurde nur hab ich das zu spät erfahren und keiner konnte mir etwas erstatten. Mit der Wasserkühlung war mein AMD Rayzen 5 3600 Konstanz auf 47-55° in spielen wie apex Legends kanckte sie auch die 75° und das wollte ich nicht mehr also habe ich mich für den Noctua Nh-u12s entschieden.

> 24 hourReplaced the larger, brown Noctua unit with this one. The large one was overkill for my application, and it was ugly! This one was just the ticket!

> 24 hourCosa dire? Il dissipatore fa egregiamente il suo lavoro, le temperature sono scese di circa 10 gradi e il rumore è pari a 0. Noctua è una garanzia e da qualità ai propri prodotti. Se cercate un buon dissipatore ad aria non abbiate dubbi.

> 24 hourI was weary about buying a new CPU cooler because I had actually had to switch back to my AMD stock cooler due to RAM clearance issues with my old cooler. Did some comparison shopping and found that the NH-U12S was well within my budget and the supposed cooling advantage was insane. It arrived a week early, and was easier to install than any other cooler Ive ever used - didnt even have to take out my motherboard! Cooling performance on my Ryzen 5 2600 is amazing, Im seeing resting temps of 33-39° and full load temps of no more than 63° (Cinebench R20) - a nearly 20° decrease from my stock cooler. I highly recommend this cooler.

> 24 hourRelatively easy install, could have been easier if I didnt do it by myself but regardless, temps down almost 20 Celcious (From 65-70 to 45-50) under load and about 8-12 degrees while idling. Love this baby!
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. |
