Greater than one weekIve 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!

> 3 dayMy LGA 1150 motherboard/ i7 4ghz processor are now running cooler thanks to this thing. Fan comes off easy to install the heatsink and then clips right back on afterwards. Careful taking it out of the box because the plastic cover over the base of the heat sink isnt attached to anything.

> 3 dayFacilissimo da montare, silenziosissimo e compatto (nessun problema per le ram). lo uso con un Ryzen 7 3800x e le temperature sono ottime sui 60-70 (più sui 60) in game. Se si vuole si può aggiungere una seconda ventola, che dire Noctua è una garanzia e lNH-U12S è tra i migliori della sua categoria.

> 3 dayAn excellent cooler. I previously had a Hyper 212 Evo installed - the U12S is much quieter and cuts load temps significantly, especially when overclocking.

> 3 dayEs un disipador premium, y cumple como tal. Compatible 100% con memorias RAM, completamente silencioso con el ventilador por debajo del 75% de velocidad, y mantiene a mí ryzen 5 1600 OC 3.95ghz 1,325 V a 65ºC a carga completa. El diseño negro es muy bonito y te lo recomiendo al 100%

Greater than one weekProduct 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.

Greater than one weekIve always heard Noctua coolers are fantastic for their cooling performance and silent operation. And yes they sure are amazing. It managed to keep my Ryzen 5 1600 OCd to 3.9GHZ on 1.36v under 70° Celsius through 1 hour RealBench and ten Cinebench R20 stress test. On idle, it would be around 25° - 35° Celsius. The Wraith stock cooler would easily go up to 95° Celsius which was uncomfortably high before it shut itself down during stress test. Would definitely buy again for future builds.
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. |
