    it does its job very well at cooling my 5600x when playing triple A games but i wish the mounting brackets werent so tedious to install as well as maybe add a 2nd fan as a bundle ? that would be huge personally Ive bought an additional noctua fan to mount with this cooler for a push pull configuration

    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.

    Le produit est exceptionnel, il me fait gagner entre 15 et 20° sur un ryzen 7 2700 et le tout dans un silence absolu... On entend que le vent.

    Very easy to install. Instructions were clear. My only issue was the fan clips were kind of confusing since you need to take off the fan so you can screw in the sides, but that was probably just a me thing. Other than that, very nice that I do not need to mess with the backplate. It is also cool that you can put a heatsink cover (additional purchase) with this cooler, which is what I am planning on doing. Noise level is good. Very happy with this cooler and how it cools the 5800x.

    Simplemente espectacular... Mucho mejor que la refrigeración líquida para mi, silencioso, sin miedo a deterioro del líquido o rotura de algún manguito.

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.
