    Its quieter than my Corsair H100i for sure, now I wont be bothered by the fan noise.

    I hardly even remember installing this cooler. Meanwhile, I vividly remember installing an AMD Wraith Stealth a week prior without removing my motherboard from the PC, which resulted in the ruined thermals that caused me to buy the NH-U12S. Dont make that mistake. :)

    Greater than one week

    Reduced the temps nicely on a Ryzen 7 5800x, however it is advised to get another fan to mount to the back of the cooler as well.

    Ottimo per il basso rumore ma praticamente nessuna differenza dal dissipatore di stock intel.

    I used to have a Ryzen 7 1700 running the stock cooler and OC to 3.8GHz, The stock cooler never got stable when running for example Prime95, so when the temps hit 90℃ I stopped the test. Now, no matter how much time I run the stress test the processor goes up to 76℃ and thats it.

    Been reading lately that air coolers are as good or better than AIOs so decided to give this air cooler a try. I must say I m impressed: build quality and attention to detail is far beyond anything I am use too (mostly Arctic cooling the benchmark as far as Im concerned). The box came with easy to understand directions and everything, and some spares, that I could possiblly need Including a Allen shaped Phillps that really made installing this easy. I have a TUF Wifi M-ATX and this did not crowd the RAM which in my case is pretty tall. There is still room for two sticks of RAM and another fan on the cooler. This lowered my temps on a 5700g from 89 C to 67C on Cinebench. What I liked most were the directions that told me to just put a pea size drop of thermal compound (included) in the middle of the dye and tighten ALL the screws to 6 Nm. I think if everyone followed these directions even a first time builder could get good results. The directions explained that 6Nm is just tight, no further. It uses the the stock back plate and only the two side panels need to be removed to install. This matches a Coolermaster 120 AIO with two 120 MM fans and radiator that I have installed on a 2700X. another plus is there are no LEDs and the wires which are usually a pain in the neck. Cheaper than an AIO, fits in most, 99% of cases, and almost dead silent. I can hear it ramp up when I start Cinebench , but I have to listen closely. Will buy this again if any of my computers need a new cooling solution. The Engineers at Nocturna really thought this one through, Bravo.

    Excelente cpu cooler buscaba algo super silencioso que me diera la sensación de que no esté encendida y este lo cumple el único problema que encontré fue que el atornillador de barra que viene se desgasta rápidamente. Muy fácil de instalar, se adhiere y la pasta de muy buena calidad. Fácil control del RPM y buen enfriamiento del CPU.

    Un producto de verdadera calidad, contiene todo lo necesario para su instalación en sockets modernos. La construcción es fenomenal. En cuanto al rendimiento, mi procesador es aproximadamente 20°C más frío en comparación con el disipador de stock de AMD

    There is just something aesthetically pleasing about an oversized air cooler inside a PC, it reminds me of an old air cooled harley V-twin. Im glad they came out with the black edition, it fits into the color scheme of my build perfectly! Also, I got a Linus Tech Tips Edition, which was a nice surprise, Im a fan, so Im proud to represent with the little metal badge that came with it. Anyway installation was a breeze. I have this cooling an Intel 9900kf, and even with 8 hours of nonstop 1440p gaming, I havent seen my CPU temp go over 60°C. I replaced the single fan with a dual noctua black fan setup for maximum cooling. I used the red vibration dampeners that came with the fans (fans were purchased seperately) to fit the color scheme of my build. As expected, the noctua fans are quieter than a nuke in space (Powerful, but silent). Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this cooler, see picture for final result.

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 compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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-customisable

Using 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.
