## Description

Product description 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.

Review: Affordable and powerful - Great price for an amazing quality cooler. Easy to mount with clear instructions. Immediately cooled my cpu down to beautiful temperatures as well as being extremely quiet and efficient.
Review: Great Cooling Power and Exemplary Quality! - This cooler is made by Noctua. This is my first purchase from them, and they live up the their reputation for excellent quality and performance! I was using the stock AMD cooler (Wraith?) that came with my Ryzen 3600. While the stock cooler was adequate for simple tasks such as word processing or the Internet, it fell short for intensive tasks such as video encoding. Starting an encode would immediately shoot temperatures up to 95°C and stay there, severely throttling the CPU. After installing this cooler (it comes with a tube of Noctua's own quality NT-H1 thermal paste) and a fan curve adjustment to accommodate the greater cooling performance, the CPU temperatures are much lower and the computer is much quieter! Idle temperatures are about 32°–36°C. Testing the performance with some video encoding, temperatures where at 70°–75° after an hour and the CPU never throttled once—Full boost throughout the entire process! Mounting the cooler was simple and straightforward with excellent instructions and diagrams. All necessary parts are included in the box. The AMD and Intel components are separate to avoid mixing them up. Extra mounting pads and brackets where provided in case you wanted to install a second fan in a push/pull configuration. The black color looks great, as black goes with everything! (No, I am not just saying that because the rest of my build is black as well.) I also used the included paste to reapply the thermal compound on my PS4 Pro, with more left over for future applications as well! Overall, Noctua has earned a costumer in me and a spot on my recommendation list.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noctua is still one of the best air coolers. But for i9-9900k, the NH-D15 will be better suited.
*by K***G on November 10, 2019*

First off, I like to congratulate Noctua for embracing aesthetics improvements to their coolers. With matt black finish and black fan designs, I am certain that it will be one of the most popular air coolers. And with Noctua's credibility in the air cooler scene, buyers can be sure of the cooling potential. That said, my PC setup consist of a Asus ROG XI Gene with Intel's i9-9900k. And I wanted to pair this Noctua NH-U12S, as it has a smaller footprint compared to the NH-D15. In hindsight, I should have gone for that one for the 9900k. On Noctua's website of CPU compatibility with this cooler, it mentions that supports 'medium turbo/overclocking headroom'. Technically it is not wrong, but I must say that become pretty subjective. For the Asus ROG XI Gene, with 'Load Optimized Defaults' selected; and no other settings adjusted. The 'Multi Core Enhancements' will be on Auto (which is enabled). And with this setting, the Vcore applied with this BIOS setting will cause the CPU to reach highs of between 90-100 DegC (ambient of 25 Deg C) on this cooler with a 'Standard Fan Profile' setup. To me, personally, this is too high. But I contribute this temperatures to the 'over voltage' setting by the Asus BIOS setup. And I must reiterate that the Noctua NH-U12S is performing great with dissipating heat and having a fan that is barely audible (even at ~1500rpm max). It is impressive in a lot of regards; and will serve as an extremely good cooler for other support CPUs (less the OC 9900k). With MCE disabled or after using Asus 5-way Optimization, the temperatures immediately becomes acceptable, around the 80 to mid 90s DegC. With MCE disabled, the strict thermal/freq limits to the CPU kicks in and will throttle back the CPU aggressively. With Asus 5-way optimization, the Vcore is 'tuned' accordingly to an 'acceptable' temperature limit; and with this done, I had the 'All Cores' turbo boost at 4.8GHz @ ~1.14. Currently, I am running the stock (single fan) setup for this cooler. I shall be trying different fan (and dual fans) setups soon. And of course, using Noctua's fans, my current favourite. Other good ones are Corsair ML fans, or the old school Sycthe Gentle Typhoon. Cheers, Ken
