> 3 dayI know, I know, Noctua are the last word in PC air cooling. Honestly though, Ive found this performs about as well in cooling my Ryzen 5 5600X as my old Cooler Master Hyper 212, while costing twice as much. One area this shines though is how absurdly easy it is to mount the thing. Every review Ive read about Noctua products has made the same point, and it definitely makes a huge difference to the experience of building a PC, especially since my last cooler was for me the most frustrating component to work with in the entire build.

> 3 dayDa ein selbst zusammengebauter Sielerechner in meiner Familie mitten im Spiel immer öfter einfach mitten im Spiel neu startete, wurde unter Windows 10 Build 1909 das Tool CoreTemp installiert. Dieses zeigte, dasskurz vor dem plötzlichen Neustart die Prozessortemperatur schnell über 90°C stieg. Da ein Gehäuse mit drei gut positionierten Gehäuselüftern verbaut war, war es sehr warscheinlich, dasses an der Prozessorkühlung lag.

> 3 dayRan a stress test as soon as I finished installing it on an overclocked 6700k. Temps remained under 70 C for 15 minutes. Very low noise from fan.

> 3 dayInstallation is easy enough, quiet as can be. Would be preferable to come with two fans not just the one out of the box.

Greater than one weekGreat 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.

> 3 dayNoctua lives up to the hype. It is quiet, it is cool , it is well packaged.
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. |
