Greater than one weekFirst off, I like to congratulate Noctua for embracing aesthetics improvements to their coolers. With matt black finish and black fan designs, I am certain that it will be one of the most popular air coolers. And with Noctuas credibility in the air cooler scene, buyers can be sure of the cooling potential.

> 3 daySuper verarbeitet, Kühlleistung für meinen Intel Prozessor mehr als ausreichend. Wärmeleitpaste schon vor aufgetragen. Perfekt für All Black Build. Auf höchster Drehzahl dezente Geräuschentwicklung, trotzdem noch leise.

Greater than one weekEl ryzen 3600 genera mucho calor, el disipador incluido hacía demasiado ruido. Con este me bajó la temperatura unos 10c en la prueba de cinebench y prácticamente no hace ruido.

Greater than one weekAfter purchasing the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and using the stock cooler, our temps were running at 90 degrees plus. I know AMD say this is normal, but it freaks me out.

> 3 dayEstaba entre este noctua nh-u12s chromax o el h212 de cooler master, aunque es mas caro el noctua lo volveria a comprar sin duda. No hace mada de ruido y las temperaturas bajisimas del procesador que en espera marca 20 grados y trabajando no pasa de 37. Trae pasta termica de Noctua y el montaje es sencillisimo, compra totalmente recomendada.

> 3 dayNoctua always meant quality, and this cooler inst an exception. The amazing heatsink, a whisper quiet fan and the remarkable ease of install makes the value of this cooler unparallel with other brands.
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. |
