THE NH-U12S CHROMAX.BLACK
Measuring 158mm in height, 125mm in width and 71mm in depth with a weight of 755g (with the fan) the NH-U12S Chromax.Black is identical to its predecessor.
You will need to use the bundled screwdriver in this hole in order to mount the cooler onto your mainboard.
The heatsink features a grant total of 50 aluminum fins (all black).
These fins are bend on the sides to keep as much air as possible coming from the fan from leaking left and right.
I was hoping Noctua would use new and improved fans with their Chromax Black models but since this isn't the case the NF-F12 PWM Chromax.Black model can reach 1500RPM to produce 55CFM of airflow with just 22.4dBA of noise.
Five 6mm all-copper heatpipes leave the base of the NH-U12S Chromax.Black and pass through all of its 50 aluminum fins.
The all-copper nickel plated base of the NH-U12S Chromax.Black is the only part of this cooler which is not painted black.
