    Solo superado por su hermano mayor el NDH 15, pero este es mas compacto y rinde casi igual, no necesitas mas que esto, recomendado 100%.

    I really have to say this is an outstanding product in every sense of the word. Noctua first makes some of the best static pressure high cfm fans on the market and their product is literally top tier. I saw system thermals greatly drop on my cpu from 41C to 32C which is an insane drop while idle. While gaming, nothing ever went higher than the low 50s. Its especially easy to install if you are running an Intel Processor and the results and even the look are phenomenal. I give this the gold star for the gold star standard!

    I heard Noctua had a reputation for producing low noise coolers well, I gave it a shot. The box came with enough parts to make you believe you are mounting a quality product. There is a signed letter by the CEO swearing over the hundreds (400 to be exact) awards received because their fans are so quiet. I took this seriously (I dont take most companies seriously) and committed to follow the directions to the letter to install said quality product...

    Bought used (refurbished) from Noctua via Amazon. Aside from the original box having obvious signs of previous postage labels (it was sent to me in a larger brown box), the cooler itself and all the accessories (including thermal paste) were either as though they were untouched or replaced. In addition to the lightning-fast delivery (2 days from Austria to UK, despite the month estimate) and the 5-year warranty thats still included, the cooler is beautifully quiet (and not in the signature brown).

    This heatsink is beautiful in black. The instructions provided my Noctua make this as pain free as possible. I had no issue mounting/installing it. Its also nice that Noctua adds a second bracket so that you can purchase a second fan for a push/pull configuration.

    Lo compre con reticencia, tengo un 12700 y con el Asus Enhancement 3.0 se calienta mucho, stock a 65W TDP sin problema y sirve cualquier enfriador. Con el Asus Enhanvement el TDP del 12700 sube a 145W y ahi tuve problemas hasta que instale el NH-U12S.

    Not really anything to dislike, though I did struggle a bit getting all the screws to catch at the same time during the initial install.

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.
