    Il marchio Noctua si dimostra allaltezza della sua fama per stile, facilità di montaggio rispetto ad altri concorrenti, ed efficacia. Anche la pasta termica in dotazione sembra fare il suo lavoro egregiamente. Sto ancora monitorando le prestazioni del mio Ryzen 5 3600, ma, ad ora non mi sembra di riscontrare problemi.

    Ive been using this cooler with an AMD 5600x processor and have been pleased with the results after I decided not to use the stock cooler that came with the processor.

    Despite the pandemic going on, it shipped very fast and I was able to get it in less than 5 days. Mounting and installation is easy enough for me, so it should be no problem for you. My system is already around 20 degrees Celsius cooler. I can confidently say Noctua makes quality products that are worth every cent, and they have earned a lifelong customer!

    i7 12700 se pone a 85º en la prueba cinebench r23 en multinúcleo, en mono núcleo no supera los 58º. En reposo sobre los 35/40º.

    Been reading lately that air coolers are as good or better than AIOs so decided to give this air cooler a try. I must say I m impressed: build quality and attention to detail is far beyond anything I am use too (mostly Arctic cooling the benchmark as far as Im concerned). The box came with easy to understand directions and everything, and some spares, that I could possiblly need Including a Allen shaped Phillps that really made installing this easy. I have a TUF Wifi M-ATX and this did not crowd the RAM which in my case is pretty tall. There is still room for two sticks of RAM and another fan on the cooler. This lowered my temps on a 5700g from 89 C to 67C on Cinebench. What I liked most were the directions that told me to just put a pea size drop of thermal compound (included) in the middle of the dye and tighten ALL the screws to 6 Nm. I think if everyone followed these directions even a first time builder could get good results. The directions explained that 6Nm is just tight, no further. It uses the the stock back plate and only the two side panels need to be removed to install. This matches a Coolermaster 120 AIO with two 120 MM fans and radiator that I have installed on a 2700X. another plus is there are no LEDs and the wires which are usually a pain in the neck. Cheaper than an AIO, fits in most, 99% of cases, and almost dead silent. I can hear it ramp up when I start Cinebench , but I have to listen closely. Will buy this again if any of my computers need a new cooling solution. The Engineers at Nocturna really thought this one through, Bravo.

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.
