    Ho acquistato questo dissipatore per un core i7 12700K. Il dissipatore ha delle ottime prestazioni, la fattura e ottima e anche bello a vedersi. Mi aspettavo pero temperature più basse, ma confrontando un po di recensioni la colpa e del core i7 dodicesima generazione che e veramente affamato di energia.

    The installation took 2 minutes. The mounting is just so simple and everything just works. But by far the most impressive thing of all, the fans. OMG using this from my hyper212 Evo I thought meh wouldnt be much of a difference. But when I turned my pc on I was just stunned. I had to put my ear right next to my pc to be able to hear it. Seriously amazing, when it comes to looks the black looks stylish and professional instead of that disgusting brown look that wouldnt match anything. Seriously would recommend! In addition, RAM clearance is spot on. Incredible product! Would buy it again if I had another pc.

    Cools better and is easier to install when compared to the Intel Stock Cooler™™™™. Its nearly impossible to mess up installation for this cooler

    Après avoir longuement hésité avec un kit AiO watercooling pour refroidir mon 5600X (en remplacement du trop faible wraith stealth), jai tout aussi efficace, voir mieux, moins cher, plus fiable, éprouvé et si le ventirad tombe en rade (humour) il suffira juste de changer le ventilateur.

    This is probably the best air cooler you will get for your processor. I have never seen my CPU climb above 65 degrees Celsius under very heavy loads. I game A lot! Put your mind at ease if you are obsessed with your component temps like I am and get this cooler. If installed correctly it will work wonders for your CPU.

    I 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.

    Lo compre con reticencia, tengo un 12700 y con el Asus Enhancement 3.0 se calienta mucho, stock a 65W TDP sin problema y sirve cualquier enfriador. Con el Asus Enhanvement el TDP del 12700 sube a 145W y ahi tuve problemas hasta que instale el NH-U12S.

    There is just something aesthetically pleasing about an oversized air cooler inside a PC, it reminds me of an old air cooled harley V-twin. Im glad they came out with the black edition, it fits into the color scheme of my build perfectly! Also, I got a Linus Tech Tips Edition, which was a nice surprise, Im a fan, so Im proud to represent with the little metal badge that came with it. Anyway installation was a breeze. I have this cooling an Intel 9900kf, and even with 8 hours of nonstop 1440p gaming, I havent seen my CPU temp go over 60°C. I replaced the single fan with a dual noctua black fan setup for maximum cooling. I used the red vibration dampeners that came with the fans (fans were purchased seperately) to fit the color scheme of my build. As expected, the noctua fans are quieter than a nuke in space (Powerful, but silent). Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this cooler, see picture for final result.

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.
