> 3 dayMaterial quality is excellent, looks good on my build. Not sure with noise level though if it is normal as this is for my first build and obviously I dont have any experience with other coolers except for the amd stock which is quiter than this, I assume it is normal since it decreased my temps 20c lower than the stock amd cooler. Temperature is whats more important to me so I dont mind the noise level (Not that loud anyway).

> 3 dayGreat fan. Comes with a weird screwdriver that I dont need but feel too bad about to throw away though. It always bugs me when a product I buy comes with a worse version of a tool I already own. Its a waste of resources.

> 3 dayLo uso para enfriar un R5 3600xt y he conseguido bajar 10-15 grados y los mantiene muy constante. Viene con un ventilador, pero yo le he añadido otro, para terminar de hacer el flujo de aire. La instalación es muy sencilla y viene con instrucciones muy explicativas. Descubrí esta marca hace poco y la recomiendo sin dudarlo.

> 3 dayThis is hands down the best CPU cooler I could have asked for! It was not that hard to install and my temps have gone down significantly! I was using the stock cooler for ryzen 5 3600 and I was getting temps around 55-65 with just being on zoom and having a word doc open. Now on idle I am around 34-40 degrees. I even played msfs2020 and lingered around 60-70 degrees! My opinion do not get an AIO Get this instead!

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. |
