> 3 dayI built a system with a Ryzen 3600. With the stock wraith and an overclock I was reaching 70°C. Since I slapped this bad boy on under heavy load my max temp is 45°. My only complaint is the way the fan clips to the radiator. But this seems to be the industry standard.

Greater than one weekEste 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.

> 3 dayUnboxing was a pleasant experience. Noctua really put attention to detail in the way they pack things together and give you lots of extra bits in case that you need them. In my case I used the included AM4 backplate with my motherboard and installation was really easy. Took me 5 minutes in total, remove the old Wraith stock cooler, clean paste, reapply paste and screw in new cooler.

> 3 dayThis heatsink is beautiful in black. The instructions provided my Noctua make this as pain free as possible. I had no issue mounting/installing it. Its also nice that Noctua adds a second bracket so that you can purchase a second fan for a push/pull configuration.
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. |
