    Overall, I am very satisfied with this fan cooler. It was simple to install, looks very sleek and the noise level is excellent. And most importantly, it dropped my temperature on average about 20C cooler. I was getting approximately 53C on my Ryzen 5 5600x with the stock AMC wraith cooler on idle and about mid to high 70Cs when playing a demanding game like Satisfactory. With this cooler, it is approximately 28 to 29C on idle and about low to mid 50s on the same game. The only reason I am taking off one star was because I clearly received a returned unit even though I bought new from Noctua. The rubber bumpers on the fan was covered with dust and there was a finger print on the nickel plate. The bag was also cut open, but was taped back. I didnt want to go through the hassle of returning it just for that, but if it you are going to resell a returned unit, I would expect it would be cleaned for any dust and to make sure the nickel plate is as clean as possible. Other than that, I am satisfied with this purchase.

    Ive had this cooler for a few months and I am extremely please with the workmanship and performance. It is whisper quiet while keeping my i7 12700K cool when under load. And in case the description wasnt clear, this cooler does come with LGA 1700 bracket adapter. No need to buy an additional bracket.

    Jutilisais anciennement un cooler master ML120R (watercooling) pour mon ryzen 5 3600x, au bout de même pas 2 ans il faisait un bruit monstre comme si un cailloux claquait dans tous les sens dans le ventilo, le Noctua lui, est complètement silencieux, si bien quon se demande si il tourne bien!!

    Fácil de montar. Por el momento refrigera perfectamente un i9-9900k (30° de media), aunque tampoco le di mucha caña todavía, habrá que ver cómo se comporta en condiciones más exigentes. Recomendable.

    Preso per un 12700K e per un OC non eccessivo va più che bene per mantenere le temperature entro livelli decenti (circa 28° in idle, e mai oltre i 55-60 con i videogiochi), senza sacrificare la silenziosità.

    Comme beaucoup jai succombé au charme de lAIO, un msi 240R. Après à peine un an il ne refroidissant plus rien, souci de pompe et cristallisation. Bref, retour aux bases avec un ventilateur et cest le jour et la nuit. Quasi plus de bruit, 20 degrés décart avec mon AIO même au meilleur de sa forme. Sur un 5600x je suis à 35 en idle et max 70 en gaming, bref su tout bon.

    I had a water-cooled system on my I9-12900K that died and I replaced it with this. Id never mounted a tower like this before (Ive done probably 30+ PC builds in my life) so this was a new concept, but once I got my head wrapped around the design, it went pretty smooth. Need to make sure your case is wide enough, of course, but its at least as quiet as the water cooled system I had before. No complaints.

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 compatibility

Standing 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 compatibility

Thanks 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 fan

Recommended 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-customisable

Using 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.
