> 3 dayNoctua NH-U12S chromax.black, Ottimo dissipatore, preso quasi due anni fa. Ho aspettato tanto prima di fare questa recensione perchè volevo metterlo sotto pressione per un pò. Lho usato in due diverse configurazioni, prima su un Rayzen 3900X, e devo dire che si è comportato alla grande, e dopo un anno circa nella seconda configurazione con un Rayzen 5900X. Ad oggi devo dire con grande stupore, anche con questultima configurazione, va alla grande. Uso il pc per scuola professionale, video editing e fotografico con diversi programmi di montaggio, Office e Word, e per altre piccole cose. Ottimo, silenzioso e ho potuto notare che le temperature non sono mai state oltre i 70, anche dopo diverse ore di lavoro. Ovviamente ho un case bello grande dove le ventole aiutano a far circolare laria. Consigliato

> 3 dayEl ryzen 3600 genera mucho calor, el disipador incluido hacía demasiado ruido. Con este me bajó la temperatura unos 10c en la prueba de cinebench y prácticamente no hace ruido.

> 3 dayIgnore all the specs and just buy it. Its simply the best CPU cooler in its class (single 120mm air cooling fan and heatsink). After all, Noctua has always been a reputable, industry-leading manufacturer.

> 3 dayRan a stress test as soon as I finished installing it on an overclocked 6700k. Temps remained under 70 C for 15 minutes. Very low noise from fan.

> 3 dayI bought this to replace a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO that was the cheapest option when I first built my PC. This cooler, which was unavailable in 2017, is way better at cooling my CPU and quieter. It would be great if it was $10 cheaper, but its still good at $69.99

> 3 dayAwesome while I had it in my system. Quite and keeps the CPU fairly cool. (Ryzen 3900x). Only issue i had was when trying to take it out to swap with a AIO..... somehow the cpu was stuck to it even though it was locked down. No damage done but it was on there.

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. |
