> 3 dayReduced the temps nicely on a Ryzen 7 5800x, however it is advised to get another fan to mount to the back of the cooler as well.

30-10-2024This keeps my 5600x cool under load (around 60 C) and idle (around 35 C). No issues installing, and the thermal paste it comes with works fine. At full tilt, the fans (I purchased the second one for aesthetics) stay pretty damn quiet. I also really like the way it looks in my build. Glad I chose this over an AIO.

> 3 dayDopo averne provati altri, dove il contatto con il processore non era preciso. Qui la tecnica usata è risultata vincente; due viti con molle di pressione assicurano un perfetto contatto. 30 a riposo 60 sotto stress.

> 3 dayNoctua una garanzia, dal montaggio alle prestazioni finali. Molto silenzioso e temperature molto basse, montato su x570 Aorus Elite per raffreddare una 3700x, non ingombra nessuno dei 4 slot ram

Greater than one weekComo siempre Noctua dando una calidad insuperable, en un ryzen 7 3700X me ha bajado de media 10° a diferencia con el disipador de serie.

> 3 dayI purchased this cooler as a replacement for a CoolerMaster TX3i to cool my i5-7600K adequately when clocking 5GHz. The NH-U12S delivers excellent cooling performance, both at idle and under full load temperatures have dropped by an average of 7° compared to the TX3i so that I can safely clock 5GHz at 100% load for extended periods of time, with the CPU merely reaching 73° vs. reaching or exceeding 80° previously.

> 3 dayEstaba entre este noctua nh-u12s chromax o el h212 de cooler master, aunque es mas caro el noctua lo volveria a comprar sin duda. No hace mada de ruido y las temperaturas bajisimas del procesador que en espera marca 20 grados y trabajando no pasa de 37. Trae pasta termica de Noctua y el montaje es sencillisimo, compra totalmente recomendada.
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. |
