    Been reading lately that air coolers are as good or better than AIOs so decided to give this air cooler a try. I must say I m impressed: build quality and attention to detail is far beyond anything I am use too (mostly Arctic cooling the benchmark as far as Im concerned). The box came with easy to understand directions and everything, and some spares, that I could possiblly need Including a Allen shaped Phillps that really made installing this easy. I have a TUF Wifi M-ATX and this did not crowd the RAM which in my case is pretty tall. There is still room for two sticks of RAM and another fan on the cooler. This lowered my temps on a 5700g from 89 C to 67C on Cinebench. What I liked most were the directions that told me to just put a pea size drop of thermal compound (included) in the middle of the dye and tighten ALL the screws to 6 Nm. I think if everyone followed these directions even a first time builder could get good results. The directions explained that 6Nm is just tight, no further. It uses the the stock back plate and only the two side panels need to be removed to install. This matches a Coolermaster 120 AIO with two 120 MM fans and radiator that I have installed on a 2700X. another plus is there are no LEDs and the wires which are usually a pain in the neck. Cheaper than an AIO, fits in most, 99% of cases, and almost dead silent. I can hear it ramp up when I start Cinebench , but I have to listen closely. Will buy this again if any of my computers need a new cooling solution. The Engineers at Nocturna really thought this one through, Bravo.

    Wahnsinns Kühler! Er kühlt meinen Ryzen 5 3600 im Idle auf 26 Grad Celsius und bei maximaler Belastung bei einem Takt von 4,15 GHz und 1,4 Volt kommt der gute gerade einmal auf 52 Grad Celsius bei eingestellter Lüftergeschwindigkeit um 1220 U/min. Hören tue ich im besten Falle nur die RTX 2060 Super. Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung

    Il prodotto è ottimo, se non fosse che è arrivato già aperto e visibilmente USATO!!! PER LENNESIMA VOLTA, SE VOLESSI UN PRODOTTO USATO NON LO COMPREREI SUL MARKET DEL NUOVO!!! Questo non va affatto bene! Amazon mi sta deludendo sempre di più!

    Als ich mir einen neuen Rechner zusammengestellt habe, stand ich natürlich vor der Frage, wie ich meinen Prozessor kühlen möchte. Zuerst dachte ich natürlich Wasserkühlung, ganz klar!, als ich mich dann genauer mit verschiedenen Kühloptionen auseinandergesetzt habe und verschiedene Tests gelesen und Videos angeschaut habe, kam ich allerdings überraschender Weise, auf das Ergebnis, dass dieser Kühler nicht nur leiser ist als die meisten, wenn nicht alle Wasserkühlungen, er kühlt auch besser. Mein Pc ist flüsterleise, obwohl ich kein Silent Gehäuse nutze und die Lüfter alle laufen. Preis-Leistung würde ich auch als sehr gut bezeichnen, schließlich soll es die meisten Computer ja über Jahre hinweg bedienen.

    I have used Wraith Prizm, Pure Rock 2, Wraith Stealth....etc but among them, I have chosen this over any other cooler.

    Was debating forever to go air cooled vs water cooled. I was this close to getting water cooled because i did not like the big bulky plus ugly color air coolers. Until the pros didnt outweigh the cons for aio anymore. The pros for me on aio were sleeker looking, quiter, lower temps. The cons ,extra point of failure, possible leak, extra ui software that could possibly slow down my system/ use unnecessary resources. So i was already on the fence on air coolers just for the damn aio software ur forced to install. Then i saw many videos(including linus tech tips) where they show performance was almost on par with aio vs air coolers As well as other videos where the aio actually got louder than air coolers as they reved up(witch is the whole point of getting a damn water cooler is cause u think there suppose to be quieter but there not once they rev up) so after that there really was no pros anymore for aio. What sealed the deal for me was this beautiful all black edition noctua. Aswell as this mode is not so big as there flagship cooler(i didnt want something too bulky). Performance is great on my i7 4790k on stock turbo boost 4.4ghz (27 degrees on idle and when gaming around 40-50) aswell as the tinnitus the stock cpu cooler would cause is non existence anymore. The fact i can use my computer again without my ears ringing like crazy, alone are worth the price. It almost feels like a new computer. It feels and sounds quieter and more premium and i couldnt be happier. Def one of the best upgrades ive done for my pc.

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.
