> 3 dayI replaced my liquid cooling system with this, CPU core temps during heavy gaming are down 14-19C. And I had to look to make sure the fan was going as I could not hear it. Super happy!!

> 3 dayLo compre con reticencia, tengo un 12700 y con el Asus Enhancement 3.0 se calienta mucho, stock a 65W TDP sin problema y sirve cualquier enfriador. Con el Asus Enhanvement el TDP del 12700 sube a 145W y ahi tuve problemas hasta que instale el NH-U12S.

> 3 dayIs only compatible with AMD socket AM4 if you have the stock mounting plate. I have a pre built which had another type of cooling system that did not utilize it, and wasn’t supplied. This manufacturer should be clear up front you will need this, and imo should just include such an inexpensive part. One star for being a deceptive company and wasting my time.

> 3 dayHo acquistato questo dissipatore per un core i7 12700K. Il dissipatore ha delle ottime prestazioni, la fattura e ottima e anche bello a vedersi. Mi aspettavo pero temperature più basse, ma confrontando un po di recensioni la colpa e del core i7 dodicesima generazione che e veramente affamato di energia.

Greater than one weekIts what you would expect from Noctua, great quality, easy to install, and its quiet which is very important to me. The overall black finish looks really good in my glass side panel case. Noctua products are a shining example of you get what you pay for.

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. |
