    You can tell the instant you take this out of the box the quality and care that went into this product. If you are looking at this cooler then you have probably already read the reviews and seen the videos on how good this product is. I do wish the AMD spacers were black instead of grey ( very very minor grip ). I do recommend putting on the fan with the top clip first then the bottom clip. It does take a little bit of force to clip it on in a limited amount of space but the clips hold great. Easy ram clearance and very quiet. 6 year warranty.

    Built a box recently with AMD 5 5600X on an Asus X570 Hero VIII board. Was having a few temp spikes on pretty easy usage with the stock AMD CPU cooler. Fan Expert would run up the fans and keep it in check but I didnt like the rollercoaster temps or the noise. The NH-U12S isnt the biggest cooler available but since Im not a real heavy user I figured it was probably good enough. More than pleasantly surprised at the performance. Retuned Fan Expert. Temp is 5-10 degrees lower and a lot more stable than I hoped for. Box stays quiet and spikes reined way in. Ive tried but only been able to push the CPU over 50C once or twice. Case fans run 30-40%. Very impressed. On top of that it was very reasonable to install and looks good. Noctua really do make a high quality well thought out product.

    Cosa dire? Il dissipatore fa egregiamente il suo lavoro, le temperature sono scese di circa 10 gradi e il rumore è pari a 0. Noctua è una garanzia e da qualità ai propri prodotti. Se cercate un buon dissipatore ad aria non abbiate dubbi.

    First time building a pc. The mounting was easy and the fans make very little noise

    I bought this to replace the stock cooler for the i7 9700f that came in my prebuilt. The product was packaged beautifully, with a small box for mounting hardware, thermal paste and a few other accessories in the top. There was a large box containing the cooler itself in the bottom. (edited)

    Tiene bene la temperatura. Ryzen 2600 e mobo b450 aurous pro. Soddisfatto. Ho anche un 275r airflow. Controllate le misure.

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.
