    Great cooling

    Avevo raffreddamento a liquido Enermax Liquimax ma si è bruciata la pompa, quindi ho deciso di tornare al raffreddamento ad aria poiché quello a liquido mi aveva un po deluso in termini di prestazioni.

    Noctua 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.

    Not really anything to dislike, though I did struggle a bit getting all the screws to catch at the same time during the initial install.

    No complaints. I needed a better cooler than the stock AMD one to use with a Ryzen 3700x and a case that runs a little hot. This does everything I hoped it would do. I had a little bit of trouble getting the screws to connect with the brackets, but nothing that five minutes of swear words couldnt solve.

    Made a 15 degree centigrade difference in gaming high temps. Super easy to install, best solid design by far. Great example of buy cheap, buy twice. If I bought this the first time I would have saved money.

    I used it for my first build, couldnt compare it to other coolers, but its working great so far. Great cooler for Ryzen 7 3rd gen. Keeps the CPU cool at 45c at idel while being quiet and Easy to install.

    Ive just replaced the cooler on my 8700k with this and Im seriously impressed. Ive never bought Noctua before because they were always so ugly (the same colour scheme as my grandmas bathroom) but since you can get them in black now I thought Id give them a shot. I have done a before and after temperature comparison below.

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 compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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-customisable

Using 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.
