> 3 dayCools my 11700 65W Intel CPU very well. Running a scan with McAfee Total Protection, Malwarebyes, and SuperAntiSpyware simultaneously, temperatures of some cores, reached up to 72 deg.C. The thermo paste I used on the CPU was Arctic MX-4. The black fan and cooler fins look very nice with my build. I did not like the brown and beige fans, that Noctua had provided in the past models. Black is a big improvement my build.

> 3 dayventirad vraiment au top monter sur un ryzen 5 3600 et carte mère tomahawk b550 ,comme on peut le voir sur la capture avec un stress sur le cpu à 100% pendant 10 mn ne dépasse pas les 56°,57°C contrairement au ventirad dorigine DAMD ou je monter a 85,87° avec le ventilo à fond cest à dire pas loin du seuil critique de 90°,montage très facile et au repos joscille entre 30 et 33°C. très silencieux également.je prendrais surement du Noctua pour les ventilos de ma tour à lavant.

> 3 dayPaid $80 and only half of the bracket kit was included. Wasn’t even one full kit for either AMD or Intel, it was just bits and pieces of both kits. So guess I’ll go buy some brackets.

> 3 dayMesso per sostituire un vecchio deepcool ad aria rgb. Pagato 70€, ma li vale tutti fino allultimo. È silenziosissimo e performante. Io uso il pc prevalentemente per gaming e devo dire che la cpu è sempre fresca anche con le ventole che girano a bassi rpm. Mai visto il processore superare i 43° (Sempre in gioco).

> 3 dayThis was my first time installing a cooling fan larger than a stock intel heatsink and fan, so I spent more time reviewing the instructions than I needed to.
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. |
