    Use a push pull system, make sure the push has the larger rubber offsets to give abit of space between the fan and the radiator. Super quiet, nice low temps on my 5900x.

    Easy to install, fits like a dream on my Micro-ATX motherboard. But the downside with the one I received was that the pins that connects it to the motor that comes attached to the fan, will not keep it in place. No matter how much force I place on those side pins they’ll just come undone with little movement. I have to keep setting the fan back in place. For that problem it’s best to get a used one for a cheaper price if you find it. I’m updating this review to correct my wrong review that I’ll leave up. Just pull forward on the pins to keep the fan in place. I didn’t see that since I was doing everything in a rush before bed. The fan is perfect and I would highly recommend purchasing this item.

    very good, no issues, and the LTT edition that the first batch of coolers comes with is perfect

    Perfectly sized and great at keeping my OC Ryzen 5 3600 very cool. Everything you will need for install is in the box and instructions were very simple and easy to understand. The fan is pretty quiet, if you really need it to be super quiet just go in ur bios and configure fan settings to your own liking. Amazing build quality for just a little extra cuz of all black aesthetic. I wish it wasnt such a pain to unbox everything but that just means Noctua did a very good job at packaging. Less chance of damaged parts!!

    You can tell the instant you take this out of the box the quality and care that went into this product. If you are looking at this cooler then you have probably already read the reviews and seen the videos on how good this product is. I do wish the AMD spacers were black instead of grey ( very very minor grip ). I do recommend putting on the fan with the top clip first then the bottom clip. It does take a little bit of force to clip it on in a limited amount of space but the clips hold great. Easy ram clearance and very quiet. 6 year warranty.

    Amazing fan. Quiet at full load. knocked 1 star off for price. I have a cooler master in another machine that performs almost the same but is much noisier at full load. Also, it is very tall- have a deep case.

    Der Kühler kommt ordentlich verpackt mit allem benötigten Befestigungsmaterial und eigener Wärmeleitpaste, was die Installation sehr einfach gestaltet. Das befestigen war leicht und ging schnell, einfach passende Metalhalterungen wie in der Anleitung beschrieben auf das Motherboard setzen, dann den Kühler anbringen und zum Schluss den Lüfter mit den integrierten Clips befestigen. Der Lüfter hat vorinstallierte anti vibrationspads aus Gummi. Im Betrieb ist der Kühler kaum hörbar, selbst bei Last ist er sehr leise. Die Temperatur liegt mit 3 Gehäuse Lüftern in meinem Medium Tower bei maximal 70-75°C und das im Sommer bei 24-26°C Zimmertemperatur. Zu dem sieht der komplett schwarze Kühlkörper mit dem schwarzen Lüfter super schlicht und edel aus. Der Kühler mit Lüfter ist zu dem relativ schmal was bei meinem 4 RAM Riegel setup recht wichtig war. Das einzige manko ist meiner Meinung nach der stolze Preis. Man kriegt bei Noctua einen sehr guten Service und eine lange Garantiezeit geboten, allerdings ist die Konkurrenz davon auch nicht mehr weit ab.

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.
