> 3 dayComo siempre Noctua dando una calidad insuperable, en un ryzen 7 3700X me ha bajado de media 10° a diferencia con el disipador de serie.

> 3 dayUn dissipatore compatto ed elegante grazie alla ventola nera anziché i soliti colori forniti da Noctua. Purtroppo il fissaggio delle viti, per quanto riguarda listallazione per processori AMD, non è stato semplicissimo ma non per colpa delle istruzioni che hanno fornito un valido aiuto. Il problema riguarda la filettatura delle viti che ha richiesto uninstallazione con una forza abbastanza eccessiva e per chi come me é poco pratico non è stato piacevole. Un altro appunto da fare riguarda il prezzo. Quasi 70 euro sono decisamente troppi.

> 3 dayNot the cheapest CPU cooler out there, but its exactly what I expected. Would recommend to anyone that wants a solid mid-range CPU cooler.

> 3 dayI was looking for a replacement to the AMD stock cooler, which in itself is fine but I wanted something quieter and more effective when gaming. Having heard about Noctuas excellent reputation I decided to pull the trigger on a Chromax u12S.

13-06-2025This cooler is probably the best Ive had thus far. My CPU (overclocked) averaged 75 - 85 Celsius when playing the new MWII. I installed this and my CPU now does not break 60 Celsius. Honestly a great improvement :) It also idles between 20 and 30 Celsius.

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. |
