    First off, I like to congratulate Noctua for embracing aesthetics improvements to their coolers. With matt black finish and black fan designs, I am certain that it will be one of the most popular air coolers. And with Noctuas credibility in the air cooler scene, buyers can be sure of the cooling potential.

    Quiet and keeps my light overclock on my 2700x to 4Ghz stable and chilly.

    I bought this CPU cooling system from the recommendation of several different YouTubers and Im glad I did. I was looking for a good cooling unit that can handle an i9 processor overclocked and come to find out this was rated as one of the top ones that could handle it. Very easy to install and the directions are very clear. Definitely worth the money

    This thing is way better than the stock Ryzen Wraith Prism. It lowered the temps of my 3800x by double digits and the fan is way quieter.

    Acheter pour remplacer un ventirad thermaltake à 20€ qui faisait un bruit sans nom dès lors que je lançais un jeu et qui refroidissait très mal mon processeur. Au repos j’étais à 50 degrés, bref un très mauvais ventirad, je déconseille d’acheter ce model qui est sur Amazon d’ailleurs.

    I used the NH-U12S to replace my old cpu air cooler. I ordered it in conjunction with the Corsair ML120 White Led fans. This combination was exactly what Id hoped for. My stress test temperatures dropped from 67C to 59C and cleared my G.Skill Trident Z RGB ram. I couldnt have asked for a better cooler for my needs. I highly recommend.

    Lo he montado en un i7-9700k, montaje facilísimo incluso te explican cómo hacerlo en la página oficial, materiales buenos y consistentes, es cierto que pesa lo suyo y es muy grande pero queda bonito y refrigera bien

    From all of the hype over these Noctua heatsinks and fans Ive heard over the years I figured these would be silent as ninjas and cool better than any other tower heatsink and fan. It is not and does not. The cooling is ok but the fan definitely is not nearly as quiet as their reputation would suggest. I would not buy this again if given a choice. For the price, get yourself a nice AIO liquid cooler. For the record, my 10 year old Cooler Master 120mm case fans are quieter than the fan on this, and I run those at full speed.

    The packaging was super clean. The box indicated the tools for an AMD install or an Intel install. The thermals have been really good on my i7 10700k and the Ram clearance is good.

    Ottimo rapporto grandezza e efficacia della ventola, costruito molto bene come sempre da noctua, è lideale anche con un overclock leggero gestito dalla scheda madre o con software apposito punto sicuramente consigliatissimo, brava noctua

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.
