> 3 dayMy goodness, this this is INCREDIBLE. I bought a pre-build back in 2021, this thing came with an i7-9700f, 16GB of RAM, but the main reason I bought it was the GPU, a GIGABYTE RTX 3070. All was well, right?

> 3 dayDissipatore eccezionale! Passare da un dissipatore stock intel a questo noctua (NH U12S BLACK) è stato come passare da una Panda ad una FERRARI, le temperature della CPU a riposo sono 19/23° contro 33/36° del diss. Stock intel. Non faccio overclock sicché non so dirvi se può essere adatto.

> 3 daySilence, qualité des matériaux... Par contre, sur les quatre vis permettant de fixer la backplate, une navait pas de filetage ! Assez inadmissible étant donné le prix premium du produit. Jai dû faire le pas de vis moi-même en insistant (allez-retour sur la backplate). Au final cela tient parfaitement mais bon...

> 3 dayEven though the box was damaged because Amazon thought it appropriate to pack it in a paper bag (thanks Amazon) I decided to go ahead and install this because it was only the accessories box that seemed dented. But, when it came to screw the heatsink on to the mounting bars the screws would NOT screw in. I read online that you might need a fair bit of force to overcome the springs but even this did not work. Rubbish.

> 3 dayBought used (refurbished) from Noctua via Amazon. Aside from the original box having obvious signs of previous postage labels (it was sent to me in a larger brown box), the cooler itself and all the accessories (including thermal paste) were either as though they were untouched or replaced. In addition to the lightning-fast delivery (2 days from Austria to UK, despite the month estimate) and the 5-year warranty thats still included, the cooler is beautifully quiet (and not in the signature brown).

> 3 daySenzaltro un prodotto di qualità questo dissipatore noctua, in più con la colorazione nera riesce ad amalgamarsi esteticamente bene con gli altri componenti. Il montaggio è stato molto facile, senza dover nemmeno rimuovere la scheda madre dal case.

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. |
