> 24 hourIve been using Noctua fans/coolers for about 6 years now and Im always impressed with them. This is no exception. It was easy to install, looks great, and performs well. Big thumbs up from me!

> 24 hourReplaced the larger, brown Noctua unit with this one. The large one was overkill for my application, and it was ugly! This one was just the ticket!

> 24 hourSiempre me acabo preguntando el sentido de una AIO habiendo disipas como este, el sentido estético es obvio, puede que trasladar el tocho del radiador al frontal o arriba mejore la circulación interior del aire, no lo sé...pero este disipa te hace apartar la idea de una AIO, a mí al menos

> 24 hourMontato con ventola singola su un Ryzen 3600, fa il suo dovere, in idle da bios mi segna 32-33°C, mentre in gaming su Borderlands 3 a settaggi medio-alti non supera i 59°C.

> 24 hourWorks excellent. I have a NZXT 500 case with a Ryzen 5 1600 processor. With the stock AMD cooler I was around 190*F gaming, but with this cooler it never goes above 155*F, and its significantly quieter.

> 24 hourProduct comparison shows that it should come compatible with the new LGA1700 sockets. This was not the case it only came with the previous generations brackets. If you need an LGA1700 compatible cooler be sure to order the additional mounting kit for another $10.

> 24 hourBought this for Ryzen 7 3800X build in a Inwin micro ATX case. I don’t like RGB so blacked out is perfect. I own many Noctua coolers and this blacked out edition performance is just as stellar. I use a IC Graphite thermal pad for the TIM. I picked up a second 120mm fan for this kit.
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. |
