> 3 dayThis thing is perfect! I saw it for a lot more money on other sites. The black color is sweet and it cools wonderfully and without any sound. Overclocked 3600 to 4.4 at 78 degrees R15 score 1744!!

Greater than one weekthe ramp up fan speed and fall is more noticeable then my stock AMD cooler but my performance has improved in 3d mark and looks good so still worth the money in my opinion

> 3 dayThis is a fantastic CPU cooler. I installed it with my Ryzen 5 3600 to replace the stock AMD cooler. Super easy install. Directions are very clear and all the necessary parts are included.

> 3 dayWorth 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.

> 3 daySilence, qualité des matériaux... Par contre, sur les quatre vis permettant de fixer la backplate, une navait pas de filetage ! Assez inadmissible étant donné le prix premium du produit. Jai dû faire le pas de vis moi-même en insistant (allez-retour sur la backplate). Au final cela tient parfaitement mais bon...

> 3 dayForse sono un fanboy Noctua, ma è innegabile come appena apri la scatola capisci di avere un prodotto premium tra le mani. Inutile anche fare proseliti, Dissipa alla grande ed è strasilenzioso.

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. |
