Greater than one weekLo uso probé con un Ryzen 5800X en Push/Pull y en Cinebench 10 minutes no pasó de 83C. Jugando BFV llega a 78C y en la beta de BF 2042 no pasaba de 76C.

> 3 dayAfter purchasing the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and using the stock cooler, our temps were running at 90 degrees plus. I know AMD say this is normal, but it freaks me out.

> 3 dayI used this to cool my i7-3770k cpu that I have overclocked to 4.5 ghz, 1ghz over the base clock. Even under 5 hours+ of borderlands 3 on the maximum graphics settings, and watching a stream on my second monitor, it kept my cpu at under 80 degrees C.

> 3 dayMontado en placa msi gaming pro carbon wifi con procesador ryzen 5 3600x, compre este disipador por que el de serie era una locura de ruido y muy poco eficiente, la verdad es que es grande, muy grande, en mi caja no toca el cristal pero apenas le faltan 2 dedos.

> 3 dayIts a noctua thermals are gonna be great, thats a given. However the manual for some reason has either a mistake or lies to you if you are installing on an amd am4 motherboard. The manual says to use the grey stand-offs for AM4 motherboards however doing to I could not get the cooler to mount properly. When I switched to the white stand-offs it mounted with ease. Not sure if this will be the same for everyone but its something to note for AMD systems.
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. |
