Greater than one weekAs always with Noctua, this fan runs super well and super quiet. Even when at max speed, its pretty quiet and the only thing you can hear is the whoosh of air that it moves.

> 3 dayI don’t normally write reviews like this…but I have to say, I’m extremely impressed. I conducted a build with a Coolermaster Q500L and used a full ATX board, a Ryzen 5600x with a GTX 1080 3 fan config. If you know anything about full ATX builds in smaller towers, you know the PSU is typically front+top mounted with a piggy-back power chord.

> 3 dayI heard how great Noctua fans are, and now Im a believer. First time PC builder but no complaints. My i7-9700k stays at 55 degrees C max during any gaming session. I dont overclock. The fan also runs quieter than my other case fans. Im not sure how it compares to other CPU fans, but I have only good things to say.

> 3 dayThe Wraith Spire is a good cooler, just a little noisy for me since my computer is sitting on the desk right next to me. I have been doing folding and my CPU was hitting 94c. With the NH-U12S I am hitting 88c and the noise levels are much better (with the single fan it comes with). Super easy to install!

> 3 dayCredo il miglior dissipatore che si possa trovare sul mercato. Silenziosissimo, anche mettendo sotto sforzo la cpu 2600x non lo si sente affatto. Temperature di 10 gradi in meno in idle e ben 20 sotto stress. Istruzioni dettagliate e super accessoriato, con supporti, cavi, pasta termoconduttiva e ganci anche per una seconda ventola, adesivi e gommini linus tech...insomma un casino di roba.

> 3 dayI was looking for a replacement cooler for my AMD Wraith Stealth cooler that came with my 3700x. Although it looked cool with the RGB, it was very loud (surprisingly) and had some serious coil whine when changing speeds based on usage. It was average for cooling power.
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. |
