    Il montaggio non è dei più semplici ma le istruzioni sono dettagliate e i serraggi validi. Le viti si fissano bene e il risultato finale risulta molto solido.

    The Wraith Spire is a good cooler, just a little noisy for me since my computer is sitting on the desk right next to me. I have been doing folding and my CPU was hitting 94c. With the NH-U12S I am hitting 88c and the noise levels are much better (with the single fan it comes with). Super easy to install!

    Noctua una garanzia, dal montaggio alle prestazioni finali. Molto silenzioso e temperature molto basse, montato su x570 Aorus Elite per raffreddare una 3700x, non ingombra nessuno dei 4 slot ram

    Keeps my 3700X cool even after an all core 4.2ghz overclock and it looks good while doing so

    There is just something aesthetically pleasing about an oversized air cooler inside a PC, it reminds me of an old air cooled harley V-twin. Im glad they came out with the black edition, it fits into the color scheme of my build perfectly! Also, I got a Linus Tech Tips Edition, which was a nice surprise, Im a fan, so Im proud to represent with the little metal badge that came with it. Anyway installation was a breeze. I have this cooling an Intel 9900kf, and even with 8 hours of nonstop 1440p gaming, I havent seen my CPU temp go over 60°C. I replaced the single fan with a dual noctua black fan setup for maximum cooling. I used the red vibration dampeners that came with the fans (fans were purchased seperately) to fit the color scheme of my build. As expected, the noctua fans are quieter than a nuke in space (Powerful, but silent). Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this cooler, see picture for final result.

    I want my PC as silent as possible. Noctua is my #1 pick for that. Performance is also important, and this cooler performs great. Under load, still quiet, my low RPM quiet case fans are louder. I bought a Noctua cooler in the past for my last build and that was/is a great cooler, so had no second thoughts buying this one for my new build.

    Das war jetzt der zweite Versuch mit dem NH-U12S von Noctua. Beim ersten Mal (nicht auf Amazon bestellt) war die Montage-Einheit defekt. Diesmal war es noch viel schlimmer. Bereits vor dem Öffnen kann man am Öffnungsteil des Kartons erkennen, dass da schon mal jemand das Produkt geöffnet hat. Ich denke mir, vielleicht sähe das nur so aus, aber das Innenleben des Pakets macht es noch viel offensichtlicher. Eine Tüte mit Einzelteilen liegt aufgerissen im Zusatzteilkarton, die Wärmepaste wurde bereits benutzt und der Kühler, dessen Unterseite zeigt, dass er bereits bei jemandem installiert und im Nachhinein zweitklassig sauber gemacht wurde, wurde mehr schlecht als recht wieder in den beschädigten Innenkarton gebaut.

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.
