> 3 daySetting the motherboard up for the mounting of this cooler was incredibly simple and easy to do, it is best to do it out of your case, but even if its in the case, having it on its side will make it pretty easy. The fan is very quiet and even at 70% is barely audible compared the 3 Phanteks fans I have that came with my P400A, I plan on eventually swapping those to their new NF-A12x25 Chromax.

Greater than one weekIve been running a Ryzen 7 3700X with the stock Wraith Prism cooler. It was doing an okay job. Most of the time my max running temps were in the upper 60s or low 70s, with the occasional split-second spikes up to high 70s or even low 80s while gaming. So the stock cooler was doing well enough, and Im not OCing my CPU.

> 3 dayFitted this cooler to my 3600 running at 4.2 GHz idles at a steady 34°C maxing out at 70°C when under full load with Cinebench with no thermal throttling. It is super quiet while keeping the CPU cool during gaming.

> 3 dayI previously owned a Corsair H100iv2 CPU liquid cooler with idle temps of 19-25C, under max load 45C, 2hr stress test 52C. With the Noctua NH-U125 that I currently have installed 28-31C idle temps, under max load 50C, 2hr stress test 65C. At Noctua $94.95(CAD) vs Corsair $124.99(CAD) you get what you pay for. The price seems fair for its performance. Honestly, if you can expense a water cooler and trust having one in your build then Id just go for it. If not, then this definitely would not be a bad start for an CPU air cooler.

> 3 dayBefore, I had a screaming stock cpu cooler that failed to prevent thermal throttling while playing COD MW resulting in dropped frames and a very frustrating online experience. Now my CPU rarely goes above 60C and this thing is completely silent. Couldnt be happier with the purchase.
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. |
