> 3 dayI have a intel i5 12600K 12th gen processor (LGA1700) and it keeps it very cool. Under normal use on computer temps are around 28-35 degrees. While gaming this fan keeps my cpu around 42-60 degrees which is brilliant as my cpu has a recommended max temperature of 82 degrees. I would definitely recommend this fan for gaming.

Greater than one weekDead quite - period. My stock r5 1600 cooler fan was starting to drive me nuts (buzzing noise when on low rpm) and I bit the bullet.

> 3 dayIve always heard Noctua coolers are fantastic for their cooling performance and silent operation. And yes they sure are amazing. It managed to keep my Ryzen 5 1600 OCd to 3.9GHZ on 1.36v under 70° Celsius through 1 hour RealBench and ten Cinebench R20 stress test. On idle, it would be around 25° - 35° Celsius. The Wraith stock cooler would easily go up to 95° Celsius which was uncomfortably high before it shut itself down during stress test. Would definitely buy again for future builds.

Greater than one weekCools well but not an easy install. The directions did not match my board even though it stated the fan would. However, I found a way to mount it ok.

> 3 dayIts a joy to come across a truly excellent product. This is one example. Delivered in a few hours, packaged nicely, well built, great instructions, ridiculously complete install kit, easy, trouble-free install. Best part of all is it works great and is dead quiet.

> 3 dayThis cooler has been a gift from the gods to my i9 11900f. Even under high loads this keeps the 8 core 16 thread space heater super cool while remaining nice a quiet. Its heat absorption and dissipation has even lowered my overall case temps causing my GPU to also run cooler.
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. |
