## Description

From the manufacturer 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent mid price cpu cooler

I revived an old computer with a new amd cpu which did not have a box cpu cooler so bought this cooler. It's good and keeps the temperature under check even under demanding conditions. Ordered an additional fan to cater for summer conditions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Temps Reduces by 20 C from the Wraith cooler - Read before you buy
*by F***L on 6 October 2022*

Awesome cooler 10/10, Prefer this over cheap AIO coolers. User with a good thermal compound like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. Check case compatibility on Noctua's site and Read last paragraph of review if you are replacing an existing CPU Cooler. Wraith Cooler - Stock AMD Cooler with Ryzen 5 5600G Idle Temps - 42 Degree Celsius Max Cine-bench Multicore Test - 89 Degree Celsius Noctua NHUS12S Idle Temps - 33 Degree Celsius Max Cine-bench Multicore Test - 69 Degree Celsius Ambient Temps - ~25 Degree C First up , incase you are replacing an existing cooler DO NOT remove existing cooler before running the computer to bring up the temps. Otherwise the CPU can come off while removing the cooler. Happened to to me. Best thing run Cinebech or other benchmark software to increase CPU temps so that the thermal compound would be easier to separate.
