> 3 dayIf youre familiar with Noctuas reputation, none of this will surprise you, but the U12S in another excellent cooler. Slightly pricier than others, but well worth the price for its performance and noise level. Significantly quieter than my old Corsair H100i with nearly comparable cooling performance.

My old one was Cooler Master Hyper 412r it was ok the temps were 37-42C at idle while gaming it was 60-68C after i got Noctua there was a huuuuge difference now at idle it’s 25-31C while gaming On ultra settings 40-55C Max

> 3 dayNoctua 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.

> 3 dayFrom all of the hype over these Noctua heatsinks and fans Ive heard over the years I figured these would be silent as ninjas and cool better than any other tower heatsink and fan. It is not and does not. The cooling is ok but the fan definitely is not nearly as quiet as their reputation would suggest. I would not buy this again if given a choice. For the price, get yourself a nice AIO liquid cooler. For the record, my 10 year old Cooler Master 120mm case fans are quieter than the fan on this, and I run those at full speed.

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. |
