Greater than one weekI hardly even remember installing this cooler. Meanwhile, I vividly remember installing an AMD Wraith Stealth a week prior without removing my motherboard from the PC, which resulted in the ruined thermals that caused me to buy the NH-U12S. Dont make that mistake. :)

> 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 dayI have one installed on my desktop to replace the original fan that burned after 5 years of continues usage, it works great; computer is nice and cool, and its very quiet, you can barely hear it...

> 3 dayI love this cooler. It looks amazing being all black. I was really easy to install it also. I thought there was going to be a clearance issue with the power delivery side but with the spacers it was perfect, also was afraid the side of the case wouldnt fit but it cleared with a few mm of space. My cpu is running in the high 40s now and before with stock was in the 60s. Got some cabel extensions coming soon and everything is going to look great. Definitely worth the buy.

Greater than one weekThis cooler is probably the best Ive had thus far. My CPU (overclocked) averaged 75 - 85 Celsius when playing the new MWII. I installed this and my CPU now does not break 60 Celsius. Honestly a great improvement :) It also idles between 20 and 30 Celsius.

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. |
