> 3 dayI was weary about buying a new CPU cooler because I had actually had to switch back to my AMD stock cooler due to RAM clearance issues with my old cooler. Did some comparison shopping and found that the NH-U12S was well within my budget and the supposed cooling advantage was insane. It arrived a week early, and was easier to install than any other cooler Ive ever used - didnt even have to take out my motherboard! Cooling performance on my Ryzen 5 2600 is amazing, Im seeing resting temps of 33-39° and full load temps of no more than 63° (Cinebench R20) - a nearly 20° decrease from my stock cooler. I highly recommend this cooler.

> 3 dayI didnt like that my CPU would go up to 100C when doing intense work like encoding video, so I bought this. Not only does it look great (for only $4 more than the ugly version) but my temps are now in the low 70s, which is much better for the CPU long term! Extremely quiet for the surprisingly effective cooling too.

> 3 dayEven though the box was damaged because Amazon thought it appropriate to pack it in a paper bag (thanks Amazon) I decided to go ahead and install this because it was only the accessories box that seemed dented. But, when it came to screw the heatsink on to the mounting bars the screws would NOT screw in. I read online that you might need a fair bit of force to overcome the springs but even this did not work. Rubbish.

> 3 dayThis is probably the best air cooler you will get for your processor. I have never seen my CPU climb above 65 degrees Celsius under very heavy loads. I game A lot! Put your mind at ease if you are obsessed with your component temps like I am and get this cooler. If installed correctly it will work wonders for your CPU.

> 3 dayIo ho sempre evitato i prodotti Noctua per un fattore estetico, MA finalmente ho deciso di prenderne uno in versione Chromax dopo che il mio dissipatore a liquido ha tirato le cuoia improvvisamente dopo 2 anni di utilizzo, cosa molto comune in quelli a liquido.

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. |
