> 24 hourWorth every penny. Comes with all the parts you’ll need and a cool full metal sticker as well as it’s great NT-H1 thermal paste. If your thinking of pulling the trigger do it.

> 24 hourWie immer bei Noctua ein tolles Produkt. Ich würde noch einen zusätzlichen Lüfter empfehlen, um die Geräuschkulisse noch niedriger zu halten als sie es eh schon ist. Die schwarze Farbe des Kühlers sorgt für einen richtig edlen Look, der meiner Meinung nach eine gute Verbesserung gegenüber dem Vorgänger ist. Fühlt sich sehr wertig an. Gute und einfache Installation. Der beigelegte Schraubenzieher blätterte bei mir ein bisschen ab.

> 24 hourI want my PC as silent as possible. Noctua is my #1 pick for that. Performance is also important, and this cooler performs great. Under load, still quiet, my low RPM quiet case fans are louder. I bought a Noctua cooler in the past for my last build and that was/is a great cooler, so had no second thoughts buying this one for my new build.

> 24 hourI was hopping that this CPU cooler would out perform the Cooler Master HYPER 212 LED Turbo that I already had. But it did not. I even went the extra mile, by placing a fan on the back, so I would have a push/pull fan system on this cooler. Plus it has 5 pipes on the NOCTUA instead of the 4 pipes on the Cooler Master, which gives you total of 10 pipes instead of 8. If I was not comparing the NOCTUA to the Cooler Master, I would not be so frustrated. Especially considering the NOCTUA appears to have room for 4 sticks of Memory, if I needed it. But I am running dual channel so it does not matter right now. However, when looking at the 4th memory slot, I believe it would be touching the front fan with my Memory.

> 24 hourAll parts are metal: no situation when one metal part breaks plastic part, very solid, it was joy to instal. Using with LGA 1700.

> 24 hourI was using the stock cpu cooler for my i7-9700. It frequently got overheating, over 100C/212F, even under light load. After I use this one, the temperature is hardly exceed 80C/176F for heavy load.
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. |
