    Estaba 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.

    Brilliant cooler. Lower temperatures on my I7 than my H110 AIO. Almost silent and looks good in the black finish. Mounting system was easy to follow and install and included some thermal paste. Check the size of this cooler and measure your case as they are quite tall and wont fit inside every case.

    Noctua penso sia uno dei marchi più rinomati per quanto riguarda il raffreddamento dei nostri Pc. È la prima volta che però acquisto un prodotto di questa marca. Dovendo cambiare il dissipatore in stock del mio Intel i5, la scelta è ricaduta sul celebre NH-U12S, e ho preferito pagare 10€ in più per la versione black.

    Uso ventole noctua da una decina di anni ormai, ma dissipatori per la cpu non li avevo mai provati. Per quanto mi riguarda, passando da quello fornito da amd con i processi ryzen a questo, le differenze si vedono. 7/8 gradi di meno in idle, qualcosina di meno in full load. Decisamente meglio per quanto riguarda la silenziosità, ma secondo me non vale quello che costa, soddisfatto a metà.

    Replaced a Hyper 212 Black Edition on my r5 5600x and r3 3100 in both my systems. I can hardly hear the PCs, even when running Cinebench. Only parts that I can hear now are the GPUs

    This is a great step up from the Cooler Master Hyper 212. Easier to install and temps are a lot lower than with the cooler. Installation was super easy and everything you need is included with this cooler including thermal paste (I used Artic MX4 though). Currently running the I7 9700KF and under full load on Prime95 Im holding steady at 58C. Which is more stress than I will put on my chip gaming. Idle Im at 30C.

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.
