> 3 dayProduct easily lives up to the Noctua name. Mounting was a breeze with Noctuas mounting system and the noose level is great. Ive been using this on a 5800X and adding a 2nd fan on the back so I could push my overclock a little further, has been working great

> 3 dayThis cooler lives up to expectations, it is a perfect cooler for mid-range CPUs and it is easy to see why Noctua are regarded as the best when it comes to fans and coolers.

> 3 dayIt’s over all amazing. I got this as a gift and compared the stock amd cooler it’s amazing. And super quite!! I would definitely recommend this cooler especially for if you choose to overclock. And don’t ever have to worry about temps.

> 3 dayTemps arent all that great on my 3700x but gets the job done. I get idle temps ranging from 39C to 45C with ambient temps at around 22C. Running prime95 small FFTs, I get temps of up to 90C. The mounting system is the really easy to use and the fan is quiet.

> 3 dayThe thing is a monster. I ordered it to replace an MSI AIO I had. MSI nearly cost me a brand new 5600x when their cooler went out 6 months after purchase.

> 3 dayThis is the first time Ive used a Noctua cooler and Im really glad I did. I wasnt so sure about this because of the cost, but on doing way too much research found that Noctua is well regarded in the PC community and figured it was maybe time to finally upgrade from my trusty old Zalman. This cooler looks great and feels very well made. It is also very quiet. I would recommend it if it fits your budget!

Greater than one weekIo ho sempre evitato i prodotti Noctua per un fattore estetico, MA finalmente ho deciso di prenderne uno in versione Chromax dopo che il mio dissipatore a liquido ha tirato le cuoia improvvisamente dopo 2 anni di utilizzo, cosa molto comune in quelli a liquido.

> 3 dayBetter than amd ryzen stock coolers. It a bit expensive but its still cheaper than an AIO and its noctua. Louder than I thought. Recommend a second chromax fan. It looks nicer and you can do push-pull.

> 3 dayWas worried about a couple things:
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. |
