> 3 dayScrews with springs attached were really hard to tighten because of the thread quality. I had to apply a lot of pressure on the mother board

> 3 daySwitched from an AIO to the U12S, and could not be more happier. Noctuas SecuFirm mounting kit is easy to install, my temps are better than an AIO, and 6 year warranty. Chromax Black edition costs a bit more but the overall look is fantastic.

08-06-2025Il prodotto é arrivato con la confezione priva di sigilli, la ventola presenta un vistoso graffio al centro, anche limballaggio interno presenta alcuni segni di apertura. Non sono sicuro che si tratti di un prodotto nuovo. Ma lho pagato per nuovo. Gli accessori invece erano correttamente confezionati. Ci tengo a precisare che la funzionalità del dissipatore é perfettà, ma dato il costo, cioé 70 euro, mi aspettavo una confezione sigillata e un prodotto privo di difetti estetici. Sono abbastanza deluso, anche perché su tutti i componenti che ho acquistato per assemblare il mio pc, questo é stato lunico a non avere sigilli.

> 3 dayBought to use with a Ryzen 5 3600. It works like a champ. Far quieter and far better cooling performance than a stock AMD fan.

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. |
