Greater than one weekThe noise is minimal especially when you are gaming with headphones or listening to music or watching YouTube. I use hyperX earphones so nothing fancy to block to fan noise which is minimal.

> 3 dayKeeps my 3900x nice and cool inside my ITX rig. It’s a chromax cooler but doesn’t come with any other coloured bumpers for the fan which is a bit of a disappointment. What’s the point of it being “chromax” if you don’t include the bumper colours.

> 3 dayI kept getting high idle and gaming temps with this. For such an expensive and famous cooler, it is designed awfully. The vertical pathways of the fins are folded. which obstructs airflow. The mounting system is simple and works with my AM4 motherboard. I switched toa Hyper 212 Black Edition heat sink and got more manageable temps. I kept the Noctua fan because it is just the quietest fan.

> 3 dayEs muy bueno, mi procesador con uso basico no sube de los 40 grados, a veces hasta jugando, se mantiene la temperatura!!!, hay que instalar todos los drivers necesarios para que todo funcione correctamente, antes de los drivers si tenia problemas de temperatura, pero no era culpa del Cooler!!!, este Cooler entra perfecto en un Case Tuf 301

> 3 dayGreat air cooler. 35 C at idle with a 3800x in an ITX case. Way quieter than the wraith prism and temps are better. Only problem I had was the top exhaust fan in my nzxt h210 did not provide the clearance. I ended up mounting the fan. Outside the case. Doesnt bother me. Actually looks kind of cool.

> 3 dayIve been running this on a 5600x CPU for over a year. I just upgraded to a 5800x3D. Unmounting and remounting the cooler was awesomely easy. The fan removal was simple and fast. After that, its just a phillips head screw driver for two spring-loaded screws. Done.
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. |
