    Before I put this cooler on I was using the Wraith Prism that came with the 3800x. My temps were running close to degrees 90 c and I ended up turning off PBO and Core Boost which help my temps to stay in the 60s but I wasnt able to get any overclocking. After installing this cooler along with Arctic MX4 Thermal Compound Im getting idle temps in the high 20s and I was able to turn on all the overclocking features with my temps only barely getting to 60. I now have clock speeds over 4.5 Mhz. Just amazing!

    A bit of a mixed bag, i compared this cooler to the hyper 212x cpu cooler at £30 and the noctua cooler lost to it!!!. I was running a ryzen 5 1600 and with the cooler master cooler i was getting idle temps of 38c to 40c then when stressed i was getting 62c at 3.8ghz, when i tried the noctua, i was getting idle temps from 40/41c and when stressed i got 63/64c! which for the price i would expect it to beat my old cooler but thats not the case for me sadly. I got the LTT edition and it looked brilliant, just gutted that the temps are worse.

    Muy fácil de instalar, incluye todo lo necesario, además de un destornillador alargado para poder acceder fácilmente a los tornillos, cosa que se agradece mucho. También incluye un tubo de pasta térmica.

    Definitely buy new. I ordered used- like new because the description said basically the box was just damaged so I assumed maybe someone ordered and it didnt fit so they sent it back. (More below, want to get to the cooler first.) Its a great cooler. The lowest temp drop I have seen on my i7-9700 is 10c. It rarely ever gets over 70 and even if it does it is just for a split second. (Full gaming load) Whisper quiet. Very glad I chose this instead of an AIO. When gaming large MMOs or Modern warfare it stays around 55-60c and in larger, busier events maybe 64c tops. All while maintaining complete silence. An impressive unit for sure. Easy to install. It comes with a great thermal paste and everything you need.

    Este es un buen disipador, tenia puesto en mi pc uno de stock de Intel y en un juego llegaba de 85 a 100 grados (ese juego usaba mucho los núcleos del procesador un 80 a 90% por alguna razón siendo un juego del 2012), después le puse el disipador noctua y en ese mismo juego llegaba de 60 a 65 grados no sobrepasaba los 70 grados eso es seguro, en la configuración de mi motherboard puse al 100% el ventilador del CPU y aun así no se escucha nada y su instalación es sencilla y es compatible con las motherboard de Intel LGA 1200, mi motherboard es una asus rog strix Z590 - E Gaming Wifi. En el juego resident evil 2 remake la temperatura no sobrepasa los 55 grados en mi caso.

    en su día me tire por un hyper tx3 por que el pc ya lo tenia montado y pensé que un sistema de pin seria mejor la verdad es que es un buen disipador pero estaba hasta los h de lo puñeteros pin cada vez que tenia que cambiar la pasta me cabreaba.

    Bonne 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 !

    Quiet, well made, keeps my Intel 9900k cool under heavy use. Comes with all the parts you need to make it fit with Intel or AMD. Glad I didn’t pay more for AIO liquid cooler.

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.
