🖥️ Noctua NH-U12S Chromax.Black CPU Cooler - 120mm Single-Tower Cooler in Black Review

Works great. Noctuas is the best revision so far. The orange LTT Edition Accessory Kit makes this cooler look like a beast ready to capture all of Linus' videos every day. Add some ROG lighting and we're good to go!

I've been a Noctua fan for years but in my latest build I forgot to add an aftermarket cooler to my list. The default cooler that comes with the Ryzen 5 3600 is too weak to keep it cool. The idle temperature fluctuates between 52-58°C, it easily rises to 89°C under load. After installing this cooler, the idle temperature fluctuates around 32-34°C and never rises above 71°C under extreme load at standard clock speeds. , and fan performance never approaches 100% to keep it cool. With this…

I had a Ryzen 7 3700X with the stock Wraith Prism cooler. It did the normal job. Most of the time my maximum runs were above 60 or below 70, with occasional spikes to 70 or even 80 during play. So the stock cooler worked well enough that I didn't overclock my CPU. But the smaller radiator fan made more noise than I would like, so I decided to try this air cooler. For a while I always admired Noctua products but never bought them because of the light brown colourway. When I saw this all black…

Was very easy to install and fit my NZXT H510i case with no gap issues. Their mounting solution is very user-friendly. Everything you need is included in the box, including a high quality tube of thermal paste. My output turned out to be Linus's technical advice output, which was a plus for me. Significantly reduced noise in my PC compared to the stock AMD cooler I previously used with my Ryzen 5 3600X. I would recommend this cooler to anyone looking for a quiet, air-cooled system with…

I've always preferred air coolers. Much easier, much quieter than almost any candy bar. But I prefer how the PC looks with a liquid cooler. Then, looking at the function, I decided to try liquid cooling again (I've already said three times that I would never go back to liquid cooling), and after three AIOs, whether the pump was noisy or defective, or didn't like it Very happily, heaven-sent, Noctua blackout coolers were released. I'm one of the many who didn't buy a Noctua cooler because of the

I've been using the stock AMD cooler since I bought my 3800x and am waiting for their release. With a standard cooler while gaming, my maximum temperature reached 80-84 degrees after a couple of hours. games. With this cooler, the maximum temperature observed so far is 73 degrees Celsius with average values over 50 seconds. So I lowered the max temperature by about 10 degrees and my average dropped closer to 15-18 degrees. At maximum speed I hardly hear this fan. The rest of the fans in my case

Pros: - Great instructions included - Plenty of accessories to get the job done - High quality hardware - All hardware included as advertised - 5 heat pipes instead of the standard 3 or 4 heat pipes - Sturdy and clean nickel plated bottom of the cooler. The black finish of the cooler is nice to look at. It also reduces the chances of the ribs cutting you. Radiator fins have weight. You are not skinny at all. The fan is good if you are looking for a low noise level and a maximum airflow of 55…

Look, the fastening system is worth its price. This was the easiest, hassle-free CPU cooler installation ever. I have a Corsair H60 AIO, a Deepcool Gammax 400 and a Hyper 212 EVO Black which Cooler Master claims are AM4 compatible, but I had a very hard time installing them on my motherboard (ASRock B450m Pro4). It cools better than all others and is almost inaudible. I was very uncomfortable with the amount of torque the board had to endure to get everything in line with the 212 EVO, but this…

I want to congratulate Noctua on improving the aesthetics of their coolers. With its matte black finish and black fan design, it is sure to become one of the most popular air coolers. And with Noctua's credibility in the air cooler market, buyers can rest assured of its cooling potential. However, my PC consists of an Asus ROG XI Gene with an Intel i9-9900k processor. And I wanted to connect this Noctua NH-U12S as it takes up less space compared to the NH-D15. Looking back, I should have picked
