> 3 dayGreat fan. Knocked 20°C off my cpu temperature. Securely attaching the fan to the heat sink was a bit weird though.

> 3 dayEs bastante eficiente, lo tengo casi siempre a un 40% de su capacidad sobre un R5 5600g, nunca sobrepasa de los 50 grados lo cual es bastante saludable para el procesador manteniendo un ruido casi nulo, te incluye todo lo necesario para su fácil instalación.

Greater than one weekNo buzzes, clicks, blade noises. Completely silent CPU cooler for a necessarily quiet office environment. I can hear a pin drop. I recommend this CPU cooler.

> 3 dayIt is a great cooler, super silent. Not the easiest to install, but very logical. I find it a bit expensive, but the quality is exceptional too.

29-09-2024Put this on a new build with an i7-10700K CPU, Gigabyte B460 HD3 motherboard, and 16GB of Corsair RAM. Installation was simple, with one plug for the fan. Unit runs with no detectable noise. Used a Corsair 110Q case, but would have used a 200R if it were available. Great product.

> 3 dayRan a stress test as soon as I finished installing it on an overclocked 6700k. Temps remained under 70 C for 15 minutes. Very low noise from fan.

Greater than one weekI was hopping that this CPU cooler would out perform the Cooler Master HYPER 212 LED Turbo that I already had. But it did not. I even went the extra mile, by placing a fan on the back, so I would have a push/pull fan system on this cooler. Plus it has 5 pipes on the NOCTUA instead of the 4 pipes on the Cooler Master, which gives you total of 10 pipes instead of 8. If I was not comparing the NOCTUA to the Cooler Master, I would not be so frustrated. Especially considering the NOCTUA appears to have room for 4 sticks of Memory, if I needed it. But I am running dual channel so it does not matter right now. However, when looking at the 4th memory slot, I believe it would be touching the front fan with my Memory.
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. |
