Greater than one weekThis item replaced the stock cooker, Wraith Prism. Has the same CPU temperature at half the speed and at an almost zero noise level. Great product!

> 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 dayNoctua always meant quality, and this cooler inst an exception. The amazing heatsink, a whisper quiet fan and the remarkable ease of install makes the value of this cooler unparallel with other brands.

> 3 dayEasy to install. Replaced my stock AMD Wraith cooler for the 3700x and easily reduced temps by 15-20 C on idle and max load. Previous temps were 50-90 C and now its 35-75 C. Max load is while gaming. No other changes were made to my cooling setup. Id definitely recommend this cooler. P.S. It is much much quieter than the Wraith 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. |
