> 3 dayDieser Kühler kam auf mein Asus Mainboard mit dem neuen i710700K. Er kühlt den Prozessor bei 25°C Raumtemperatur im Idle auf ca. 30°C und im Spielbetrieb geht er nicht über 65°C. Das ist finde ich für mein altes Gehäuse mit Netzteil ohne Kabelmanagement ein sehr erstaunlicher Wert. Hatte anfangs Bedenken, da ja viele schreiben dass die 10te Generation der I7 sehr heiß werden. Kann ich nicht bestätigen.

> 3 dayDidn’t want AIO liquid. Cooling for i5 12th gen is perfect. So glad I used this Noctua fan. Room for ram on z690 tomahawk and easy install. Added the white cover to match the rest of the build - 10/10

> 3 dayWhat is there to not like? Amazing performance, no noise, and looks amazing in all black (I have custom covers and rubber pads to add more asthetic). It some of the best CPU cooling performance available and the price makes it truly unbeatable. Installation was also quick and easy

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. |
