> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayEl disipador me vino con 1 ventilador pero yo compre otro; así que no puedo decir si enfría mejor que un liquido, sin embargo con 2 ventiladores enfría de maravilla. El nivel de ruido es bajo en velocidad normal pero alto en la máxima, estoy descontento por ese motivo; aun así recomiendo su compra.

> 3 dayEl ryzen 3600 genera mucho calor, el disipador incluido hacía demasiado ruido. Con este me bajó la temperatura unos 10c en la prueba de cinebench y prácticamente no hace ruido.

> 3 dayEs bastante compacto y al tacto se nota de mucha calidad.el ventilador apenas se escucha ni puesto al 100%. Bajó la temperatura de mi ryzen 5 3600 de 88° jugando (cooler stock)y sin tenerlo en modo turbo...solo a 3600mhz a 65° de pico maximo con temperatura ambiente de 27° y con modo turbo activado a 4200mhz. Me encanta el diseño en negro y no toca los modulos ram que para mi es un puntazo. Hay que tener cuidado y mano firme a la hora de atornillarlo ya que los muelles son duros y hay que hacer bastante presión.

> 3 dayWhile my friend was the one who installed it for me, the installation was simple and straightforward. The built quality is also top-notch as expected. It definitely keeps my CPU cool at around 67 Celsius when operating multiple softwares. Black-out products are fire.

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.

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. |
