> 24 hourThe noise level and efficiency of this fan cooler is great. I can barely hear it. The case fans cause more noise than the cpu fan. I left the stock cooler of a Ryzen 2700x for this Noctua U12S.

> 24 hourProduct comparison shows that it should come compatible with the new LGA1700 sockets. This was not the case it only came with the previous generations brackets. If you need an LGA1700 compatible cooler be sure to order the additional mounting kit for another $10.

> 24 hourHa bajado la temperatura de un Ryzen 7 5700G de 90 grados a 66. Es recomendable aunque es verdad que es bastante grande.

> 24 hourI paired this with a Ryzen 7 3700X. The temperatures at stock for me are anywhere from 30c-35c idle and 36c-44c while gaming. I don’t really overclock, but did for the sake of this to 4.4 GHz. While gaming, my temps were below 70c. I did not use other applications so I apologize. The case I am using is a Fractal Design Mesify-C case with 2 intake fans (140mm) and 2 exhaust (120mm).
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. |
