    Easy to install, keeps my cpu about 10-20 degrees C cooler than the crappy thermaltake cooler I had before. And its quiet.

    Noctua es igual a calidad. Compre este disipador a noctua de 2 mano, por 49 euros ( nuevo vale 80) y esta en perfecto estado. Con su garantia de 6 años incluida y todos los accesorios

    Mi CPU tenía temperaturas de 80° y ahora no pasa de 60°. Lo único es que es muy pesado y un poco molesto de instalar por lo difícil que es de manejar y vienen 2 manuales, uno para AMD y otro para Intel pero no menciona en ninguna parte, de ahi en fuera todo bien

    Extremely happy with this cooler from Noctua. I have been using their products for years and this one is just as great as the others. The look, fitment, noise level, and temps are great!

    I LOVE this Noctua fan. First of all, they were so prompt shipping my cooler. It was shipped out same day I ordered it, and arrived about a week ahead of quoted date. It came from Austria to Washington in about 2 days. Secondly, they included a super helpful screw driver for tightening down the CPU cooler. I wound up using that screw driver on virtually every other component in my build. Thirdly, that CPU cooler is keeping my Ryzen 9 3950x with 16 cores well under 70° under load. I’ve also complimented my case with 2 140mm 3000rpm fans in the front, 2 in the top, and a 120mm 2000rpm fan in the back. I will recommend Noctua to literally anyone I talk to about doing a build. Hopefully in the future they add more colors than just black, given the stock brown is horrendous.

    I recently bought a new Ryzen cpu and need a better cooler than the spire that came with, this was my choice and I definitely do not regret it. The fan is super quiet even while my pc is under load, the instal was very easy and it fits well even in my micro tax case. My temperatures are really great under load with a slight over clock, hovering around the 60 while under near max load. If you are getting a step up from the spire I highly recommend this cooler!

    This cooler from Noctua is priced towards the higher end of the air cooler market but with that price comes some benefits including excellent cooling performance and low noise.

    I built a PC several years ago with an ASUS ROG Maximus VI Gene motherboard, an Intel I7-4770K CPU and 32 Gb G Skill Trident DDR3 2400 RAM. The stock CPU maintained a baseline temperature of ~50 C, and would throttle above 80 C. After installing this new Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black cooler, baseline temperature is ~38 C, and the max temperature Ive seen so far is about 60 C. After installation I realized that despite my mATX motherboard, I still had room for an addition 120mm fan on the cpu cooler, which I added. Both fans idle at ~350-400rpm, and are very quiet, the motherboard increases CPU fan speed when needed but still very quiet. I also have 4 quiet case fans each running at ~600rpm.

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.
