Greater than one weekBuilt my first PC last fall after watching every possible youtube video, reading every blog, and scouring websites for parts availability. After spending a significant amount of money on my setup, I figured I could get by with using the stock cooler on the Ryzen 5 5600x. After booting up Warzone, my CPU temps were in the 90s. While Ill admit Im somewhat new to this and likely dont have fan curves optimized, hearing my stock cooler crank to the max and see my temps so high was alarming to me.

> 3 dayAvevo preso questo vedendo le recensioni ottime, però non so se mi sia capitato un dissipatore difettoso, ma faceva troppo rumore! ovviamente subito restituito.

> 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 dayEste disipador es una bestia en tamaño contenido. No es muy alto y entra en la mayoría de cajas y no ocupa espacio de los bancos de memoria.

> 3 dayIt’s eerily quiet and even under max load it doesn’t sound like a jet engine. Amazing design it goes well with my case. Thanks noctua!

> 3 dayReduced the temps nicely on a Ryzen 7 5800x, however it is advised to get another fan to mount to the back of the cooler as well.

> 3 dayHochwertige und geräuschoptimierte Lösung! Einfach klasse und Noctua typisch tolles Teil.Da der NH15 D S bei mir ein Problem mit den Alu Kühlrippen hatte und Störgeräusche produziert hat, ist dieser Kühler als Ersatz an dessen Stelle getreten.Deutlich kleiner und leichter,dabei aber nur minimal lauter.Einfach klasse,sehr zu empfehlen suf einem Asus Z390 E Board mit einem I5 Prozessor. Einbau war kinderleicht solange man gut an die Rückseite des Boards kommt.Platz ist genug, keine RAM Slots blockiert. Alles in allem: 100% Empfehlung
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. |
