> 3 dayThe packaging was super clean. The box indicated the tools for an AMD install or an Intel install. The thermals have been really good on my i7 10700k and the Ram clearance is good.

> 3 dayWith Noctua coming out with black coolers, Im totally sold. Ive been interested for a while in purchasing an air cooler, but never really found one that would look pleasing within a case.

> 3 dayYou cant go wrong with a Noctua product, great for a first time builder, low noise, hardware to add another fan. A good pick if you wanna do a little over clocking but nothing too crazy.

> 3 dayDer Kühler kommt ordentlich verpackt mit allem benötigten Befestigungsmaterial und eigener Wärmeleitpaste, was die Installation sehr einfach gestaltet. Das befestigen war leicht und ging schnell, einfach passende Metalhalterungen wie in der Anleitung beschrieben auf das Motherboard setzen, dann den Kühler anbringen und zum Schluss den Lüfter mit den integrierten Clips befestigen. Der Lüfter hat vorinstallierte anti vibrationspads aus Gummi. Im Betrieb ist der Kühler kaum hörbar, selbst bei Last ist er sehr leise. Die Temperatur liegt mit 3 Gehäuse Lüftern in meinem Medium Tower bei maximal 70-75°C und das im Sommer bei 24-26°C Zimmertemperatur. Zu dem sieht der komplett schwarze Kühlkörper mit dem schwarzen Lüfter super schlicht und edel aus. Der Kühler mit Lüfter ist zu dem relativ schmal was bei meinem 4 RAM Riegel setup recht wichtig war. Das einzige manko ist meiner Meinung nach der stolze Preis. Man kriegt bei Noctua einen sehr guten Service und eine lange Garantiezeit geboten, allerdings ist die Konkurrenz davon auch nicht mehr weit ab.

> 3 dayI needed a better cooler for my pc as the stock one from amd is a bit loud and didnt do a great job of cooling my cpu ones I upgraded it and got a new 3080. The fan is seriously quiet and it looks sleek in the black. Mounting it is simple and straightforward, it includes all the brackets you need for intel or amd, and it also came with thermal paste. It might be a bit pricey and depending who you ask may not be all worth it, but with Noctua having the reputation it does, its worth it for me.

> 3 dayQuiet, well made, keeps my Intel 9900k cool under heavy use. Comes with all the parts you need to make it fit with Intel or AMD. Glad I didn’t pay more for AIO liquid cooler.
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. |
