    Muy buen producto, elegante y llegó la fecha en la que iba a llegar, aparte, tengo un Core i7 9700K y la verdad es que en juegos bastantes pesados, me lo mantiene a 65 grados.

    This is a great cooler for anyone who wants quiet performance. It is big enough to dispute enough heat that the fan a lot of times doesn’t have to run but small enough to fit in my h500i. Great overall cooler!

    This is the first time Ive used a Noctua cooler and Im really glad I did. I wasnt so sure about this because of the cost, but on doing way too much research found that Noctua is well regarded in the PC community and figured it was maybe time to finally upgrade from my trusty old Zalman. This cooler looks great and feels very well made. It is also very quiet. I would recommend it if it fits your budget!

    This cooler works magic with my ryzen 5600g APU and b450 motherboard.... Noctua is perfect air cooler and it is little fragile in edges so be gentle while strapping it to heat sink...

    Non è la prima volta che acquisto prodotti Noctua, la silenziosità e la qualità costruttiva sono tra le migliori

    I bought this to replace the stock cooler for the i7 9700f that came in my prebuilt. The product was packaged beautifully, with a small box for mounting hardware, thermal paste and a few other accessories in the top. There was a large box containing the cooler itself in the bottom. (edited)

    Swapped out my Hyper212 and Im not looking back. The 212 was good and I appreciate the value but the Noctua is great. Keep temps below 70C on my 3600x with a 4.3 OC and idles at 40C which is 5-8C cooler than the 212. I have a Corsair LL120 push and the providedNoctua fan pull on this setup because I slipped into the RGB rabbit hole. But it still works amazing. These measurements are immediately after install with the provided Noctua thermal paste. Idk if Noctua paste has a cure time but I wont complain if temps drop even lower

    Got this cooler as a replacement for my brothers computer, which is carrying a slightly aged i7 4770k (4.2). His AIO from Corsair died so we put this in real quick. Installation was very straight forward and quick and as expected of Noctuas reputation, build quality and performance on this thing is pretty stellar. Its not super huge but keeps his computer at 30-34 idle and below 60-66 on most of his games on medium settings at 1080.

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.
