> 24 hourKeeps my Ryzen 7 3800X at around 50 degrees at idle, and around 70 or so at peak load. I can even get an overclock of 4.4 GHz at reasonable temperatures, but it does get quite toasty at the end of a Cinebench run at that speed.

> 24 hourScrews with springs attached were really hard to tighten because of the thread quality. I had to apply a lot of pressure on the mother board

> 24 hourWorks and looks great, super easy instructions. was a breeze to install. Fan clips can be a pain depending on case and configuration. If its a tight fit I recommend installing with mobo out of the case. All necessary accessories. dropped temps 15C-20C compared to stock cooler. Silent.

> 24 hourI LOVE this Noctua fan. First of all, they were so prompt shipping my cooler. It was shipped out same day I ordered it, and arrived about a week ahead of quoted date. It came from Austria to Washington in about 2 days. Secondly, they included a super helpful screw driver for tightening down the CPU cooler. I wound up using that screw driver on virtually every other component in my build. Thirdly, that CPU cooler is keeping my Ryzen 9 3950x with 16 cores well under 70° under load. I’ve also complimented my case with 2 140mm 3000rpm fans in the front, 2 in the top, and a 120mm 2000rpm fan in the back. I will recommend Noctua to literally anyone I talk to about doing a build. Hopefully in the future they add more colors than just black, given the stock brown is horrendous.

> 24 hourVon Erfahrung hab ich den Standard kühler vom AMD 3700x zu laut und mit einer Temperatur von 85 grad geht mal gar nicht. Mit dem neuen Noctua komm ich auf 61 grad max
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. |
