> 3 dayEven for a beast like 10700k, this is a fantastic cooler! Even under massive loads, I dont go above 70 degrees!

> 3 dayEs conocido que los disipadores Noctua son buenos pero caros. Encontré este de segunda mano, vendido por el propio fabricante y me animé a comprarlo.

> 3 dayThis cooler is just as described by product page and great reviews. No problems with installation, great build quality and aesthetics, and works really well. Decided on this air cooler for my new i7-13700k build and installation went great. My CPU idles nice and cool around 32C, all good there. Stress testing the CPU for several minutes puts Ive seen temps reach 96C at stock speeds and power draw. This cooler obviously is doing the job but at over 90C that is a bit too high for my liking. It will also leave little to no room for overclocking and is insufficient for that. So while this cooler is great for most builds it may not be enough for the mid to higher range 13th gen Intel chips. The fans are also pretty loud over 70% RPMs and very loud at full. Excellent product here but perhaps not enough cooling for the latest Intel chips.

Greater than one weekNoctua NH-U12S chromax.Black kühlt meinen neuen AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT im AutoOC Modus (leicht übertaktet) auf ca. 40° idle und 60° - 63° bei laufendem Cyberpunk 2077 mit sehr hohen Grafikeinstellungen und hoher Auflösung und einer Umgebungstemperatur von 25°.

> 3 dayCools my 11700 65W Intel CPU very well. Running a scan with McAfee Total Protection, Malwarebyes, and SuperAntiSpyware simultaneously, temperatures of some cores, reached up to 72 deg.C. The thermo paste I used on the CPU was Arctic MX-4. The black fan and cooler fins look very nice with my build. I did not like the brown and beige fans, that Noctua had provided in the past models. Black is a big improvement my build.

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. |
