> 24 hourWorks and looks great, super easy instructions. was a breeze to install. Fan clips can be a pain depending on case and configuration. If its a tight fit I recommend installing with mobo out of the case. All necessary accessories. dropped temps 15C-20C compared to stock cooler. Silent.

> 24 hourNoctua 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.

> 24 hourSlapped this baby onto a Ryzen 5 5600x, replacing the stock cooler. System is mounted inside a Corsair 5000D Airflow case with 3x120mm intake on front and 3x120mm exhaust on top all at 1300rpm and 26CFM, 0.89 mmH2O. Room ambient ~74F. Idle dropped from 54C down to 32C. Under load dropped from 81C down to 59C. Included quality thermal paste. Easy install. Well constructed. Virtually inaudible. Worth every penny IMHO. If youre shopping for an aftermarket cooler I would strongly suggest you place this one on your short list.

> 24 hourTenía problemas con el disipador de serie de AMD Wraith Prism porque hacía mucho ruído, entonces compré todo el pack de Be Quiet! Shadow Wings 2 para mi PC. Le añadí el mismo ventilador que compré aparte, un Noctua NF-12 PWM chromax.black para hacer una configuración push and pull y así mejorar las temperaturas. He conseguido bajar unos 15 dB y mejorar las temperaturas en 24 grados.

> 24 hourAwesome Air Cooler. Easy to install on an AM4 board. Replaced Wraith Prism Cooler on my 7 2700X because I wasnt happy with the constant sound of the Fan ramping up if Im honest. Also I figured the Noctua would be a better thermal solution overall.

> 24 hourEs la primera vez que utilizo esta marca de disipador y la verdad se nota la diferencia contra uno de stock o de otras marcas. Desde el empaque todo viene muy premium, incluye todos los accesorios para instalación y hasta un tubito de pasta térmica de la mejor calidad. Lo estoy usando en un Ryzen 7 5800x y funciona de maravilla. El procesador no se calienta para nada incluso en carga pesada. Lo recomiendo.
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. |
