> 3 dayGreat product! Bought this as part of a refresh of one of my older PCs. Definitely don’t regret it! Easy install and it looks good in the all black build.

15-11-2024Purchased this because I was unhappy with the temperatures my R9 3900x was sitting at with the stock Wraith Prism cooler. I couldnt decide between this and the NH-D15 (and D15S variant which is identical but with a single fan for $10 less). Eventually went with this U12S and am quite satisfied. Im sure the D15 would outperform this cooler slightly, but its also quite a bit bulkier and this seems to do just fine cooling a 3900x with Precision Boost Overdrive enabled.

> 3 dayI was using an H100i but I wanted better temps so I moved to an air cooler and I had a hard time picking one but I went with this single tower cooler and it has been amazing not only are temps under full load maxing at around 87c with my 3900x at 4.5 GHz compared to the 95+ on my h100i.

> 3 dayNoctua is a really good high quality company. This was the easiest install of a CPU fan I have made. I have always been a fan of air coolers and this is way better than the stock air cooler. It is soooo quiet and the temps having reduced significantly. I absolutely love it and fits my itx board nicely.

> 3 dayBefore I purchased this CPU cooler my CPU was running at 89 degrees Celsius while gamming with a stock intel CPU cooler and it was not over clocked. After I installed this CPU cooler and I over clocked my CPU and it has not exceeded 65 degrees Celsius. I recommend this CPU 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. |
