Greater than one weekWorks perfectly, the fan makes literally no noise unless Im playing a CPU intensive game for an extended period of time. Build quality is great, which you can definitely feel when youre holding it. Wasnt too big and was incredibly easy to install.

> 3 dayPut 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 dayIve always had a preference for air coolers. So much simpler, so much quieter than almost any AIO. But I do prefer how a PC looks with a liquid cooler...

Greater than one weekIch verwende diesen CPU-Kühler mit einem Ryzen 7 3700x und selbst unter Volllast beim Kompilieren wird die CPU nicht wärmer als 74°C

> 3 dayReplaced an old Corsair 280mm AIO on an old Intel i7 4790k computer that I feared would break from age. Temperature is just as cool, with the added bonus of being quieter.

> 3 dayLüfter mit guter Qualität und Passgenauigkeit. Lautstärke könnte noch etwas geringer ausfallen. BeQuiet ist subjektiv etwas leiser

> 3 dayReplaced my liquid cooler with this bad boy and had serious results. This fan is BARELY audible for all the work it does. Keeps me between 35 and 75c no matter what I run. My next rig will include some version of a Noctua fan. Excellent purchase!

> 3 dayComing from liquid cooling I was a tad skeptical. But the cooler looks great in my case, not noisy, and keeps my 3800x temps around what I would get with an AIO. Great buy.
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. |
