Noctua NH U12S chromax black Air Cpu Cooler

Noctua NH U12S chromax black Air CPU Cooler:

The Noctua NH U12S chromax black Air CPU Cooler offers outstanding cooling performance in a sleek, all-black aesthetic. It features a slim 120mm single-tower heatsink design, ensuring high compatibility with RAM and PCIe slots. Equipped with an NF-F12 PWM chromax.black premium fan, this cooler delivers quiet yet powerful operation. Furthermore, with broad socket compatibility for both Intel and AMD platforms, this cooler provides a versatile and visually appealing solution for demanding CPUs.

Slim Design & Superior Cooling:

The Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black is meticulously designed for optimal compatibility. With a slim depth of only 45 mm (without fan), it ensures excellent clearance for tall RAM modules and PCIe slots. This single-tower heatsink design provides a compact footprint. It does not obstruct memory slots or the top PCIe slot on most motherboards.

Despite its compact size, the NH-U12S delivers superior cooling performance. Its robust heatsink material, consisting of copper (base and heat-pipes) and aluminium (cooling fins), ensures efficient heat dissipation. Soldered joints and nickel plating further enhance thermal transfer and durability. With an NSPR (Noctua Standardised Performance Rating) of 129, this cooler effectively manages heat for a wide range of CPUs.

Quiet Operation with NF-F12 Fan:

The Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black comes equipped with an NF-F12 PWM chromax.black premium fan. This fan is renowned for its exceptional balance of high airflow and low noise. It operates at a maximum rotational speed of 1500 RPM, delivering an impressive airflow of 93.4 m³/h. With the included NA-RC6 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A), the fan speed can be reduced to 1200 RPM, lowering the acoustical noise to just 18.6 dB(A) for ultra-quiet operation.

The fan utilizes an SSO2 bearing, which ensures long-term stability and quiet operation. Its minimum rotational speed is 300 RPM at 20% PWM. This allows for near-silent performance during light workloads. This focus on low noise levels, even under load, makes the NH-U12S an excellent choice for users who prioritize a quiet computing environment.

Broad Socket Compatibility & Easy Installation:

The Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black offers broad CPU socket compatibility. It supports a wide range of Intel sockets, including LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151, and LGA1150. For AMD platforms, it is compatible with AM5 and AM4 sockets. This extensive compatibility ensures it fits a wide array of modern and older systems.

The cooler includes a black SecuFirm2™ mounting kit, renowned for its ease of use and robust contact pressure. This simplified installation process ensures a secure fit and optimal thermal transfer. The scope of delivery also includes NT-H1 high-grade thermal compound and black anti-vibration pads and fan-clips for a second NF-F12 fan, providing excellent thermal conductivity and upgrade potential right out of the box. A Noctua metal case-badge adds a premium touch.
