> 24 hourI have a Ryzen 3600 at stock clocks. Mining crypto with the stock cooler it would get to around 95c. With this new cooler it sits around 75c. Really works great!

> 24 hourExcellent product, could not recommend more. Keeps my overclocked i5 6600k at 60 degrees at a 4.4 ghz overclock during a stress test. Buy this product!

> 24 hourThe thing is a monster. I ordered it to replace an MSI AIO I had. MSI nearly cost me a brand new 5600x when their cooler went out 6 months after purchase.

> 24 hourTengo un i7-9700k (sin OC) y este cooler mantiene buenas temperaturas mientras juego, entre 60° a 75°, su colocacion es bastante simple y su aspecto es de lo mas sobrio y elegante para quien busque tener algo sin tanto RGB.

> 24 hourI installed this on my AMD 3700X cpu on an MSI X570 mobo. It has brought my average cpu temps from 52-53C to 39-42C. I live here in the south where it is hot and humid. It works very well in my 74F air conditioned house, even under heavy loads.

> 24 hourI built a system with a Ryzen 3600. With the stock wraith and an overclock I was reaching 70°C. Since I slapped this bad boy on under heavy load my max temp is 45°. My only complaint is the way the fan clips to the radiator. But this seems to be the industry standard.

> 24 hourIts amazing ,using it on ryzen 7 5700x and idle temps are around 30-40C and when using or playing intensive games it reaches around 65C . Overall 10/10 would recommend to buy this rather than cheap AIO or cheaper air cooler .
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. |
