    Como siempre Noctua dando una calidad insuperable, en un ryzen 7 3700X me ha bajado de media 10° a diferencia con el disipador de serie.

    Got this cooler as a replacement for my brothers computer, which is carrying a slightly aged i7 4770k (4.2). His AIO from Corsair died so we put this in real quick. Installation was very straight forward and quick and as expected of Noctuas reputation, build quality and performance on this thing is pretty stellar. Its not super huge but keeps his computer at 30-34 idle and below 60-66 on most of his games on medium settings at 1080.

    Je suis fidèle à la marque et ne suis jamais déçu. Ce ventirad version black est pour moi une révélation : je suis un adepte des PC visuellement discret ! Niveau refroidissement rien à signaler, le cpu excède rarement les 60° même en pleine charge (gaming) grâce à ce produit. Le prix est peut être un peu élevé mais je lai eu en promo :p

    I was using the stock wraith prism stock cooler that came with my Ryzen 7 2700x but the temps were just a little uncomfortably high for my tastes (Idling around 50c and pushing 85c under stress tests), not to mention the loudness of the fan. Compared to that, this cooler is just an all around better experience, it was MUCH easier to install, computer is idling around 36c and doesnt get past 74c under stress tests, and even under full load its quieter than the wraith prism by a noticeable amount (its near silent until full load, and even then its pretty quiet). I highly recommend this cooler if youre going with air cooling.

    montato su ryzen 5 3600x con dissi stoch non ce paragone sia di temperature (siamo almeno 15 gradi sotto sia in idle che in full load) che di rumorosita (la ventola al massimo dei giri e appena udibile) loggetto in se e stupendo poi in colorazione black a me poi e capitata la versione limitata LTT con i gommini colorati la dotazione allinterno e super completa e ci mancherebbe con quello che costa, spedizione precisa di noctua e imballaggio perfetto. x il montaggio se lho montato io e sottolineo io lo puo montare chiunque. consigliatissimo anche se in giro ci sono prodotti altrettanto validi a molto meno ma se volete il meglio solo noctua

    Works excellent. I have a NZXT 500 case with a Ryzen 5 1600 processor. With the stock AMD cooler I was around 190*F gaming, but with this cooler it never goes above 155*F, and its significantly quieter.

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 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.
