> 3 dayIve been a fan of Noctua for years, but on my latest build, I had overlooked adding a aftermarket cooler to my list. The stock cooler that comes with the Ryzen 5 3600 is just too weak to keep it cool. The temps while idle would fluctuate between 52-58C, and during load it would easily spike to ~89C.

> 3 dayWorks great, using it on a AMD Ryzen 5950x and it keeps it idle around 40c. Even under load the CPU never goes above 75c with this cooler and its extremely quiet. Wasnt the cheapest CPU cooler but definitely worth the money, I paid a bit extra for the black edition so it matches the theme of my PC case (White and black).

> 3 dayDissipatore mastodontico (valutate bene gli spazi disponibili nel CASE) silenziosissimo e molto efficiente.

> 3 dayGot this cooler as a replacement for my brothers computer, which is carrying a slightly aged i7 4770k (4.2). His AIO from Corsair died so we put this in real quick. Installation was very straight forward and quick and as expected of Noctuas reputation, build quality and performance on this thing is pretty stellar. Its not super huge but keeps his computer at 30-34 idle and below 60-66 on most of his games on medium settings at 1080.

Greater than one weekFirst off, I like to congratulate Noctua for embracing aesthetics improvements to their coolers. With matt black finish and black fan designs, I am certain that it will be one of the most popular air coolers. And with Noctuas credibility in the air cooler scene, buyers can be sure of the cooling potential.

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. |
