> 3 dayIl marchio Noctua si dimostra allaltezza della sua fama per stile, facilità di montaggio rispetto ad altri concorrenti, ed efficacia. Anche la pasta termica in dotazione sembra fare il suo lavoro egregiamente. Sto ancora monitorando le prestazioni del mio Ryzen 5 3600, ma, ad ora non mi sembra di riscontrare problemi.

20-11-2024This cooler from Noctua is priced towards the higher end of the air cooler market but with that price comes some benefits including excellent cooling performance and low noise.

> 3 dayAfter purchasing the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and using the stock cooler, our temps were running at 90 degrees plus. I know AMD say this is normal, but it freaks me out.

> 3 dayBonne qualité mais sans plus, noctua n a jamais brillé pour son esthétisme!! C est assez moche mais reste sobre pour la marque ! Les performances sont au rdv mais sans plus ! Je l’avais acheté en catastrophe pour remplacer mon silent loop de be quiet qui m’a lâché! Je suis très sensible au bruit et pour le moment aucune solutions de ventilation me satisfait ! A part les macs et particulièrement avec puce m1 tous les pc font un bruit de ventilation trop soutenu !
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. |
