    Quiet, well made, keeps my Intel 9900k cool under heavy use. Comes with all the parts you need to make it fit with Intel or AMD. Glad I didn’t pay more for AIO liquid cooler.

    Absolutely fantastic cooler. Used this to replace a corsair AIO, which was too noise even in silent (pump sound).

    This was my first time installing a cooling fan larger than a stock intel heatsink and fan, so I spent more time reviewing the instructions than I needed to.

    Intel’s 11600K consumes very high wattage under full load, thus producing much heat. This cooler manages to keep the CPU at a max of 60C (with turbo on) under maximum stress for a couple minutes or so (ambient room is 71F or 22C). I don’t plan to overclock however and merely got this chip because it was cheaper than the 11600. If you do however, this cooler will work very nicely as there is plenty of thermal headroom for this chip specifically. All that being said, mine appears bent. I swear the heat sink is pressed evenly on the CPU though… I guess it’s just the cooler. And yeah, with the under load temperature the heat sink must be fully pressed against the CPU.

    Works better than my 240mm AIO I was using before! Even in my Inwin A1 case, my R5 1600x doesnt go above 70°C under load.

    I used it for my first build, couldnt compare it to other coolers, but its working great so far. Great cooler for Ryzen 7 3rd gen. Keeps the CPU cool at 45c at idel while being quiet and Easy to install.

    Muy buen producto, antes al momento de jugar llegaba a las 80 °c y con este Disipador ahora cuando juego ronda por los 45°c a 55°c

    El 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.

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.
