    Der Kühler an sich ist ja altbekannt und hat viele überzeugt. Bislang hatte mich die Farbgebung der an sich hervorragenden Noctua-Lüfter beim Kauf zögern lassen. Dieses Modell vollkommen in schwarz räumte diesen Zweifel nun aus und bietet hervorragende Performance (Intel Core i5-6600K @ 4,7 Ghz, 1,375v mit durchschnittlich <70°C unter Last; Lüfter lief dabei durchschnittlich auf etwa 1100 rpm, ginge also noch kühler) bei sehr guter Akustik. In dieser Form macht er durchaus auch einigen AIO-Wasserkühlungen Konkurenz und dürfte die meisten Prozessoren mehr als zufriedenstellend kühlen. Noctua hat ein hervorragendes Produkt abgeliefert, das ich nur empfehlen kann. Die LTT-Sticker und orangen Antivibration-Pads sind ein netter kleiner Bonus

    Replaced an old Corsair 280mm AIO on an old Intel i7 4790k computer that I feared would break from age. Temperature is just as cool, with the added bonus of being quieter.

    1a Noctua Qualität, dieses mal in schlichter Farbe.. habe ich bei mir ins nzxt H510 auf einen ryzen 5 3600x gebaut. 100 mal besser als der AMD box kühler.

    Better than amd ryzen stock coolers. It a bit expensive but its still cheaper than an AIO and its noctua. Louder than I thought. Recommend a second chromax fan. It looks nicer and you can do push-pull.

    Da ein selbst zusammengebauter Sielerechner in meiner Familie mitten im Spiel immer öfter einfach mitten im Spiel neu startete, wurde unter Windows 10 Build 1909 das Tool CoreTemp installiert. Dieses zeigte, dasskurz vor dem plötzlichen Neustart die Prozessortemperatur schnell über 90°C stieg. Da ein Gehäuse mit drei gut positionierten Gehäuselüftern verbaut war, war es sehr warscheinlich, dasses an der Prozessorkühlung lag.

    Avevo raffreddamento a liquido Enermax Liquimax ma si è bruciata la pompa, quindi ho deciso di tornare al raffreddamento ad aria poiché quello a liquido mi aveva un po deluso in termini di prestazioni.

    Havent build a new system in 6+ years, but I wanted something both low power and much quieter than my last build. Ended up paring this cooler with a Ryzen 5600X. Had a liquid cooler with my last system, so I was already a fan of getting the heat dissipation away from the CPU unlike how the stock coolers handle it. But Im loving this concept of the large, raised radiator and essentially snapping a case fan to it. Will make maintenance ridiculously simple should the fan ever give trouble. No need to mess with the thermal paste ever again. And combined with the low TDP processor, Im barely hearing the fan except at very very high loads. I did purchase and use the AM4 mounting kit for the option to rotate the installation 90 degrees, but ended up mounting in the default configuration anyway. Will absolutely use this again in any case large enough for it.

    The NH-U12S CPU cooler is very well packaged and presented, and comes complete with everything needed to make installation effortless. Noctua consistently produces excellent products, and this is no exception.

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.
