> 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 hourI built a PC several years ago with an ASUS ROG Maximus VI Gene motherboard, an Intel I7-4770K CPU and 32 Gb G Skill Trident DDR3 2400 RAM. The stock CPU maintained a baseline temperature of ~50 C, and would throttle above 80 C. After installing this new Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black cooler, baseline temperature is ~38 C, and the max temperature Ive seen so far is about 60 C. After installation I realized that despite my mATX motherboard, I still had room for an addition 120mm fan on the cpu cooler, which I added. Both fans idle at ~350-400rpm, and are very quiet, the motherboard increases CPU fan speed when needed but still very quiet. I also have 4 quiet case fans each running at ~600rpm.

> 24 hourSetting the motherboard up for the mounting of this cooler was incredibly simple and easy to do, it is best to do it out of your case, but even if its in the case, having it on its side will make it pretty easy. The fan is very quiet and even at 70% is barely audible compared the 3 Phanteks fans I have that came with my P400A, I plan on eventually swapping those to their new NF-A12x25 Chromax.

> 24 hourLo uso probé con un Ryzen 5800X en Push/Pull y en Cinebench 10 minutes no pasó de 83C. Jugando BFV llega a 78C y en la beta de BF 2042 no pasaba de 76C.

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. |
