> 3 dayI had a Corsair AIO liquid cooler for years and thought it worked fine. Needed something quieter and this thing delivers. 3-5dB quieter and consistently 10F cooler than the Corsair.

> 3 dayLook, the mounting system is worth the price alone. This was the easiest, most stress free installation of a CPU cooler ever. Ive got a Corsair H60 AIO, a Deepcool Gammax 400, and a Hyper 212 EVO Black, which, Cooler Master -claims- is AM4 compatible but I had extreme difficulty mounting it to my motherboard (ASRock B450m Pro4). This cools better than all of them, and is nearly inaudible as well. I was very uncomfortable with the amount of torque the board had to endure to get everything to line up with 212 EVO, but this Noctua cooler has a superb mounting system. Its the best. Ever. It took me longer to get the 212 EVO out of my machine than it did to put the NH-U12S into it.

> 3 dayThis cooler works well. It keeps up with a small liquid cooler. Its quiet on all but the highest rpm and even then its drowned out by case fans. Installation should have been a bit more simple but I had a bad thread on one of the two mounting screw holes that holds the cooler on the mounting bracket. Emailed customer support eons ago but havent heard back. Had to take it off and carefully force the screw in without tension to clear the threads. Minus one star for unneeded installation frustration.

> 3 dayI bought this after getting rid of my cooler master 240mm AIO, that thing started to get really loud and annoying.

Greater than one weekWorks great, using it on a AMD Ryzen 5950x and it keeps it idle around 40c. Even under load the CPU never goes above 75c with this cooler and its extremely quiet. Wasnt the cheapest CPU cooler but definitely worth the money, I paid a bit extra for the black edition so it matches the theme of my PC case (White and black).

> 3 dayHo montato questo dissipatore su un case nzxt h510 flow, ci sta perfettamente nonostante le grandi dimensioni. Il dissipatore molto elegante e abbastanza facile e intuibile da montare, molto silenzioso. Unica pecca (ma questi sono solo miei gusti personali) non ci sono le ventole rgb per questo tipo di dissipatore. Molto soddisfatto

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. |
