Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black)

I built a PC several years ago with an ASUS ROG Maximus VI Gene motherboard, an Intel I7-4770K CPU and 32 Gb G Skill Trident DDR3 2400 RAM. The stock CPU maintained a baseline temperature of ~50 C, and would throttle above 80 C. After installing this new Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black cooler, baseline temperature is ~38 C, and the max temperature Ive seen so far is about 60 C. After installation I realized that despite my mATX motherboard, I still had room for an addition 120mm fan on the cpu cooler, which I added. Both fans idle at ~350-400rpm, and are very quiet, the motherboard increases CPU fan speed when needed but still very quiet. I also have 4 quiet case fans each running at ~600rpm.

Honnêtement il pourrait être vendu en dual fan pour le prix...

A compat cooler design that is easy to install. The black color looks nice in my case, but the cooler is a little on the expensive side.

Lowers temperatures drastically, was topping over 80 with the stock amd cooler with no overclocking. Installed this and set the auto OC setting on using ryzen master and didn’t get temps over 60 degrees when gaming for over 5 hours.

As I write this I have a 5800x being cooled with this exact cooler and I cannot even tell it is on. A quiet little beast, this cooler can keep my 5800x (which is known for being the hottest chip out of the new ryzen 5000 series), at 35-40 C at 850rpm idle, or 60-70 C under intense load. It also fits great in my Meshify 2 Compact case and the black finish is so clean I wouldnt even think about anything else. It also comes with great thermal paste and the gear needed to mount a second fan. If you want a fantastic mid/middle high end cooler without paying a ton, or if you want Noctua quality without going for a larger cooler, this is exactly what you need. The definitive smaller air cooler.

Bought to use with a Ryzen 5 3600. It works like a champ. Far quieter and far better cooling performance than a stock AMD fan.

I really have to say this is an outstanding product in every sense of the word. Noctua first makes some of the best static pressure high cfm fans on the market and their product is literally top tier. I saw system thermals greatly drop on my cpu from 41C to 32C which is an insane drop while idle. While gaming, nothing ever went higher than the low 50s. Its especially easy to install if you are running an Intel Processor and the results and even the look are phenomenal. I give this the gold star for the gold star standard!

Best air cooler for the money. Super easy to install and super quiet. Keeps my R5 5600x nice and cool.

Je suis fidèle à la marque et ne suis jamais déçu. Ce ventirad version black est pour moi une révélation : je suis un adepte des PC visuellement discret ! Niveau refroidissement rien à signaler, le cpu excède rarement les 60° même en pleine charge (gaming) grâce à ce produit. Le prix est peut être un peu élevé mais je lai eu en promo :p
