> 3 dayOttima ventola. Silenziose e bella da vedere. Lho installata allinterno di un case vetrato, dunque era per me necessario fosse esteticamente apprezzabile. La versione nera va benissimo, sinceramente quella beige e marrone mi piace un po meno. Applicata senza problemi sopra al processore fa il suo lavoro, mantiene la temperatura della CPU bassa. Allinterno della confezione è presente tutto il necessario per linstallazione. Consiglio il prodotto vista la qualità, dovrebbe durare nel tempo senza alcun problema.

> 3 dayVon Erfahrung hab ich den Standard kühler vom AMD 3700x zu laut und mit einer Temperatur von 85 grad geht mal gar nicht. Mit dem neuen Noctua komm ich auf 61 grad max

> 3 dayMuy recomendable, tengo un Ryzen 5 3600X y el procesador overclockeado no sube de los 63 grados, fácil de instalar, con todos los adaptadores y manuales para los diferentes tipos de socket para Intel como AMD, incluye pasta termica de buena calidad e incluye todo lo necesario para añadir otro ventilador. Exelente

> 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.

11-04-2025My first Noctua cooler and it wont be my last. The Noctua cooler, cools much better than the stock AMD Prism cooler I had. The installation was a breeze and easy to install. Noctua does its homework to ensure a perfect fit. The fan is quiet and I purchased the cover that helped match the color to my system build. It is nice to purchase something that is so well built.

> 3 dayEasy to read and understand mounting instructions. Great packaging. Lowered my i7 10700k temperatures by 15-20 degrees C on average versus the stock cooler. Couldn’t be happier with this product.

> 3 dayOra che Noctua ha scoperto il colore nero oltre al classico marrone penso che sia impossibile trovare un difetto in questo dissipatore se non che ne posso montare uno solo nel mio computer purtroppo.

> 3 dayJa, er ist schwarz! Aber sowas von! Noctua, den besten Luft-Kühler überhaupt. Und jetzt in schwarz! Linus hat das unmögliche möglich gemacht! ;-) Und ja es ist die auf 5k Stück limitierte LinusTT Edition mit der Option auf ein bisschen nicht schwarz (orange). Habe mir gleich mal einen Vorrat angelegt. Also schnell zugreifen bevor das bisschen orange vergriffen ist und nur pechschwarz übrigbleibt. Weiter so Austria...

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. |
