> 3 dayAmazing heatsinks I went from a hyper 212 on an intel platform where it would be noisy with moderate thermals. To a ryzen 7 3700x and this heatsink and Im very impressed noise is non existant the build quality is top notch and very easy to install. On top of all of that the thermals are the best never over 60°c while gaming titles like destiny 2, outer worlds, and assassins creed. Highly recommend!

> 3 dayIl prodotto è ottimo, se non fosse che è arrivato già aperto e visibilmente USATO!!! PER LENNESIMA VOLTA, SE VOLESSI UN PRODOTTO USATO NON LO COMPREREI SUL MARKET DEL NUOVO!!! Questo non va affatto bene! Amazon mi sta deludendo sempre di più!

> 3 dayI couldn’t find anything to dislike honestly. I swapped back to this from a custom loop for near maintenance free longevity. It’s quiet, it looks great, and temps while gaming in division 2 stay under 50.

> 3 dayInstalled this cooler on a MSI PRO Z690-A motherboard and it wasnt showing any readings while the fan was on. Had to play with the fan curve control in the BIOS to get it to work. It looks like isnt compatible with the default settings of the Smart Fan Mode. Is a very quiet cooler.

> 3 dayIve been running this on a 5600x CPU for over a year. I just upgraded to a 5800x3D. Unmounting and remounting the cooler was awesomely easy. The fan removal was simple and fast. After that, its just a phillips head screw driver for two spring-loaded screws. Done.

> 3 daygreat cooler, silent and great performance. Keeps my 12700k nice and cool at 45ish C idle and 60ish when working hard. No overclocking, but seems like it can handle overclocking also.

> 3 dayDissipatore ottimo con il cavo per la riduzione del rumore incluso il suono e pari a zero. Senza invece un po rumoroso. Raffreddamento eccezionale. Parecchio grosso non adatto a tutti i case

> 3 daythis is just a few degrees hotter than my H110i GTX. its a little bit louder too, but it doesnt have any real points of failure, like a liquid system does. a very good buy, as is expected with noctua.

> 3 dayI have been building custom PCs for over twenty years and absolutely nothing comes close to Noctua quality. Fantastic build, the best mounting system, fan quality, even the packaging is better. Its worth the splurge.
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. |
