> 3 dayIve been running this on a 5600x CPU for over a year. I just upgraded to a 5800x3D. Unmounting and remounting the cooler was awesomely easy. The fan removal was simple and fast. After that, its just a phillips head screw driver for two spring-loaded screws. Done.

> 3 daySuper quiet and cools the cpu like a charm. I also love the look it gives to my tower. Totally worth the money, especially if you dont want to go the water cooling way.

> 3 dayComme beaucoup jai succombé au charme de lAIO, un msi 240R. Après à peine un an il ne refroidissant plus rien, souci de pompe et cristallisation. Bref, retour aux bases avec un ventilateur et cest le jour et la nuit. Quasi plus de bruit, 20 degrés décart avec mon AIO même au meilleur de sa forme. Sur un 5600x je suis à 35 en idle et max 70 en gaming, bref su tout bon.

> 3 dayUse a push pull system, make sure the push has the larger rubber offsets to give abit of space between the fan and the radiator. Super quiet, nice low temps on my 5900x.

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. |
