    Ottimo dissipatore preso in sostituzione di quello stock del ryzen 7 3700X; devo dire che il look total black gli dona molto, sicuramente migliore delle classiche ventole marroni noctua (in più, ho ricevuto ledizione linus tech tips con la possibilità di mettere i gommini arancioni). Le temperature sono migliori rispetto al dissipatore stock: la mia cpu al massimo si aggira sui 70 gradi sotto stress test, in condizioni normali di lavoro non arriva ai 40 e in gaming lho vista giungere sui 65, direi ottimale; sul fronte rumorosità non cè paragone: il wraith prism di amd era una turbina in confronto alla ventola della noctua, la quale anche a massimi giri (circa 1500 rpm) è poco più di un sussurro. Ununica accortezza da prendere in fase di montaggio dove cè da fare un pò di attenzione, in particolare se avete già tutto montato nel case: va smontato il bracket e sostituito con quello in dotazione ma quando lo fate prestate attenzione al backplate che verrà via svitando le viti e rischia di cadere nel retro del case. Per il resto nulla di particolare da aggiungere se non il fatto che noctua è sempre al top; ve ne accorgerete gia dallimballo molto ben curato; dentro cè davvero di tutto: kit di montaggio sia per intel che per amd, ovviamente, un botto di gommini e una siringa di ottima pasta termica. Prodotto assolutamente consigliato.

    As always with Noctua, this fan runs super well and super quiet. Even when at max speed, its pretty quiet and the only thing you can hear is the whoosh of air that it moves.

    Bought used (refurbished) from Noctua via Amazon. Aside from the original box having obvious signs of previous postage labels (it was sent to me in a larger brown box), the cooler itself and all the accessories (including thermal paste) were either as though they were untouched or replaced. In addition to the lightning-fast delivery (2 days from Austria to UK, despite the month estimate) and the 5-year warranty thats still included, the cooler is beautifully quiet (and not in the signature brown).

    I bought this to replace my AMD Wraith Stealth stock cooler that came with my CPU. This is a huge improvement in both noise levels and cooling efficiency. It looks really slick in the black color as well.

    This heatsink is incredibly well made. It has overall decreased my CPU temps by an avg of 10-15c. Would def recommend if you have a case big enough to support it.

    Top notch quality like from Noctua that is to be expected! Keeps my R5-3600x below 60c easy!

    Montado en placa msi gaming pro carbon wifi con procesador ryzen 5 3600x, compre este disipador por que el de serie era una locura de ruido y muy poco eficiente, la verdad es que es grande, muy grande, en mi caja no toca el cristal pero apenas le faltan 2 dedos.

    I just got my 2nd one for another build. Best coolers on the market. Water cooling is overrated. I take one of these any day over water cooling. Its just works. Simple to install. Amazing build quality. Worth the extra money over the competition. Altho bequiet brand coolers coming in a close 2nd

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.
