> 3 dayI keep my pc hidden within a desk so airflow isnt the best. Using this cooler Im able to keep temps on the 60s even under 100% load. My cpu is a Ryzen 5 3600.

> 3 dayI bought this after getting rid of my cooler master 240mm AIO, that thing started to get really loud and annoying.

20-11-2024Paired it up with a Ryzen 3700X CPU, temps at idle are about 40C. Havent pushed it hard but Ive owned Noctua coolers before, never had any issue with them overheating. Installation instructions are clear and concise. Much more quiet than my AIO cooler!!!

> 3 dayThis thing is basically completely silent. Amazing little cooler. I actually ahd to take it on and off several times due to my motherboard needing a firmware update, so I had to swap back to an older CPU temporarily. Its super easy to mount/dismount as needed.

> 3 dayIl prodotto funziona perfettamente, è arrivato tutto intero e non mancava nulla al suo interno ma quello che mi lascia perplesso è il fuori. Infatti da come si vede in foto, non è stato usato nessun imballaggio per la spedizione, mi è stato semplicemente attaccato ladesivo con le informazioni e spedito così. Oltretutto non era presente nessun sigillo sulla scatola originale, il che non mi piace per niente come cosa.

> 3 dayDefinitely buy new. I ordered used- like new because the description said basically the box was just damaged so I assumed maybe someone ordered and it didnt fit so they sent it back. (More below, want to get to the cooler first.) Its a great cooler. The lowest temp drop I have seen on my i7-9700 is 10c. It rarely ever gets over 70 and even if it does it is just for a split second. (Full gaming load) Whisper quiet. Very glad I chose this instead of an AIO. When gaming large MMOs or Modern warfare it stays around 55-60c and in larger, busier events maybe 64c tops. All while maintaining complete silence. An impressive unit for sure. Easy to install. It comes with a great thermal paste and everything you need.

> 3 dayQuando sentivo parlare di questo dissipatore, pensavo che le recensioni fossero non proprio reali (soprattutto per quanto riguarda la silenziosità del prodotto), invece devo ammettere che la differenza con il mio vecchio dissipatore è incredibilmente importante!

Greater than one weekMi CPU tenía temperaturas de 80° y ahora no pasa de 60°. Lo único es que es muy pesado y un poco molesto de instalar por lo difícil que es de manejar y vienen 2 manuales, uno para AMD y otro para Intel pero no menciona en ninguna parte, de ahi en fuera todo bien
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. |
