> 3 dayIf youre familiar with Noctuas reputation, none of this will surprise you, but the U12S in another excellent cooler. Slightly pricier than others, but well worth the price for its performance and noise level. Significantly quieter than my old Corsair H100i with nearly comparable cooling performance.

> 3 dayMy first Noctua cooler and it wont be my last. The Noctua cooler, cools much better than the stock AMD Prism cooler I had. The installation was a breeze and easy to install. Noctua does its homework to ensure a perfect fit. The fan is quiet and I purchased the cover that helped match the color to my system build. It is nice to purchase something that is so well built.

Greater than one weeken su día me tire por un hyper tx3 por que el pc ya lo tenia montado y pensé que un sistema de pin seria mejor la verdad es que es un buen disipador pero estaba hasta los h de lo puñeteros pin cada vez que tenia que cambiar la pasta me cabreaba.

> 3 dayI was hopping that this CPU cooler would out perform the Cooler Master HYPER 212 LED Turbo that I already had. But it did not. I even went the extra mile, by placing a fan on the back, so I would have a push/pull fan system on this cooler. Plus it has 5 pipes on the NOCTUA instead of the 4 pipes on the Cooler Master, which gives you total of 10 pipes instead of 8. If I was not comparing the NOCTUA to the Cooler Master, I would not be so frustrated. Especially considering the NOCTUA appears to have room for 4 sticks of Memory, if I needed it. But I am running dual channel so it does not matter right now. However, when looking at the 4th memory slot, I believe it would be touching the front fan with my Memory.
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. |
