> 24 hourLooks awesome. No visible damage. So glad that I ordered in time to get the Linus Tech Tips Edition. Im a big fan of the channel and really enjoy the content. Ill rock the LTT sticker but Im sticking with the black vibration grommets. I already know this thing is going to perform great on my delidded 6700k,benchmarks show that this thing is a beast for its size,just now in a stealth black color. So awesome!

> 24 hourHo acquistato questo dissipatore per un core i7 12700K. Il dissipatore ha delle ottime prestazioni, la fattura e ottima e anche bello a vedersi. Mi aspettavo pero temperature più basse, ma confrontando un po di recensioni la colpa e del core i7 dodicesima generazione che e veramente affamato di energia.

> 24 hourNot much better than the 212 evo, only purchased because I always wanted one before but couldnt stand the brown. The install, sound, temp and fit was better than the 212 evo. Not sure if its worth double the price unless you need the temp headroom for overclocking.

> 24 hourIt came with a great variety of mounting hardware, great thermal paste included, and it keeps my 12600k very cool! Worth the price, performs better than cheap AIOs and you never have to worry about it failing.
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. |
