    Easy to install, keeps my cpu about 10-20 degrees C cooler than the crappy thermaltake cooler I had before. And its quiet.

    More than enough for my ryzen 3700x. I actually like how the black block looks on my case.

    As I write this I have a 5800x being cooled with this exact cooler and I cannot even tell it is on. A quiet little beast, this cooler can keep my 5800x (which is known for being the hottest chip out of the new ryzen 5000 series), at 35-40 C at 850rpm idle, or 60-70 C under intense load. It also fits great in my Meshify 2 Compact case and the black finish is so clean I wouldnt even think about anything else. It also comes with great thermal paste and the gear needed to mount a second fan. If you want a fantastic mid/middle high end cooler without paying a ton, or if you want Noctua quality without going for a larger cooler, this is exactly what you need. The definitive smaller air cooler.

    Got it to cool my Ryzen 3600. It keeps it cool all whilst being very quiet. Million times better than the stock jet engine. Well worth the money.

    Keeps my R5 3600 very cool, even when overclocked and is quiet as can be, not a single complaint from me.

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.
