    The finish is great and it works just as good as the normal version.

    Arrived promptly however the price quoted did not include VAT so it was more expensive than quoted. Cost GBP 121+ incl delivery. Deceptive behaviour - quoting price and omitting that it did not include VAT

    montato su ryzen 5 3600x con dissi stoch non ce paragone sia di temperature (siamo almeno 15 gradi sotto sia in idle che in full load) che di rumorosita (la ventola al massimo dei giri e appena udibile) loggetto in se e stupendo poi in colorazione black a me poi e capitata la versione limitata LTT con i gommini colorati la dotazione allinterno e super completa e ci mancherebbe con quello che costa, spedizione precisa di noctua e imballaggio perfetto. x il montaggio se lho montato io e sottolineo io lo puo montare chiunque. consigliatissimo anche se in giro ci sono prodotti altrettanto validi a molto meno ma se volete il meglio solo noctua

    Quiet, 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.

    Flat out amazing. Easy to install, reliable, and quite even under 100% load for long duration. Replaced an EVGA 240mm all in one cooler with this because the water pump was dying and this is amazing so far

    Recently I upgraded to a i7 9700k - 1070ti with my 9700k overclocked at 5.0 I am able to maintain 40-50 degrees, even running games like tarkov, csgo and rust temps stayed around that area. Furthermore when you increase the fan speed on the cooler it is still promisingly quiet def a great air cooler for anyone who does not want to spend extra on liquid cooling.

    I needed a new cooler for my ASUS Z390 TUF-Gaming Plus WIFI ATX motherboard since I lost the mounting plates for previous cooler (switched from AMD to Intel CPU). I heard the Noctua fans were really quiet and like everyone else I really cant stand that brown color. The backplate for the classic EVO 212 was too tall for my case (Elite 430)- again typical problems with EVO 212 just being such an awkward size for so many systems. Thought Id give this a try because it looks awesome and have heard good things, and the price seemed reasonable.

    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.

    It was a bit of a pain to install as someone whos inexperienced with PC building but it helped me by making my CPU temperature much lower. With the stock Ryzen 3600 cooler, I was peaking 70 Degrees Celsius when idle and hitting 80-90 degrees when playing something like Monster Hunter World with medium settings. After installing this, the temperature peaks at 60 when idle (but mostly stays at 40-50s) and sometimes 70 when playing monster hunter world. The fan that comes included with it is fairly silent so no complaints on that end. It also doesnt look too bad. One thing to note is to make sure your case is wide enough to accommodate the heat spreader. To give a reference, Im using a NZXT H510 and it has enough space for the spreader. If possible, its best to get a different thermal paste instead of using the one that was given to you with this product.

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.
