> 3 dayInstalled this cooler on a MSI PRO Z690-A motherboard and it wasnt showing any readings while the fan was on. Had to play with the fan curve control in the BIOS to get it to work. It looks like isnt compatible with the default settings of the Smart Fan Mode. Is a very quiet cooler.

> 3 dayExcelente cpu cooler buscaba algo super silencioso que me diera la sensación de que no esté encendida y este lo cumple el único problema que encontré fue que el atornillador de barra que viene se desgasta rápidamente. Muy fácil de instalar, se adhiere y la pasta de muy buena calidad. Fácil control del RPM y buen enfriamiento del CPU.

> 3 dayIch bin so glücklich mit diesem Kauf hatte davor eine Msi Maq Coreliqid 240r die ja dann zurück genommen wurde nur hab ich das zu spät erfahren und keiner konnte mir etwas erstatten. Mit der Wasserkühlung war mein AMD Rayzen 5 3600 Konstanz auf 47-55° in spielen wie apex Legends kanckte sie auch die 75° und das wollte ich nicht mehr also habe ich mich für den Noctua Nh-u12s entschieden.

> 3 dayI have a intel i5 12600K 12th gen processor (LGA1700) and it keeps it very cool. Under normal use on computer temps are around 28-35 degrees. While gaming this fan keeps my cpu around 42-60 degrees which is brilliant as my cpu has a recommended max temperature of 82 degrees. I would definitely recommend this fan for gaming.

> 3 dayForse sono un fanboy Noctua, ma è innegabile come appena apri la scatola capisci di avere un prodotto premium tra le mani. Inutile anche fare proseliti, Dissipa alla grande ed è strasilenzioso.

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. |
