The editors didn't like

  • Size
  • Compatibility on our test system
  • Would have expected better overclocking performance (blame Ryzen)
  • Price (For Some)
  • Identical Fan Specifications With Normal Models
  • Slight Increase In CPU Cooler Size
  • Price to performance ratio
  • Cooler heat pipe width should fit
  • But may be tight
  • Nothing worth to mention
  • Premium pricing
  • Love-it-or-hate-it traditional Noctua color scheme
  • Price might be a bit high to some
  • Other manufacturers have developed better fan mounting systems
  • Lives in the shadow of the larger NHU14S…
  • …I still can't get over the color scheme…
  • $59.90 is more than many will want to pay for an air cooler

  • Premium Build Quality – fins do not bend, Excellent Acoustic Performance, Top Tier Cooling Performance, Strong, Simple and Effective Mounting Kit, Quality Accessory Package – includes extra fan clips and thermal paste, Very affordable price relative to wh
  • Some times I feel like a bit of a stuck-record when it comes to reviewing Noctua products because they deliver time and time again and there is very little to criticise. The Noctua NH-U12S is no exception as I am once again impressed by a very solid produ...

  • After reviewing the cooling capacity of the coolers we can conclude that both coolers are winners, taking into consideration certain factors, one may prefer one over the other. While the NH-D15S emerges as the dual-tower beast, it is a hefty sized cooler which one m...

  • I have to say that the Noctua NH-U12S is probably the best balance between accessibility to the PC itself, compatibility, performance, noise level, and most importantly, price. Sure, the NH-D15 has the best performance throughout all the tests, but you ha...

  • Smaller size makes it easier to maneuver during installation, Decent performance given its size, Can deliver even better performance simply by adding a second fan, Noctua's premium fans and thermal paste included, 6-year warranty, AM4 support (via free up
  • Should have been included with second fan for better performance out of the box, Gets warm even during idle, Fails to step out of the Noctua NH-U14S' shadow, unless you have really strict space constraints
  • Noctua NH-U12S is a small 120mm air cooler from Noctua which solves any issues with cooler height clearance issue but actually represents poor value for money...

  • Con este disipador Noctua busca satisfacer a los usuarios con menos recursos económicos, escapando del “cliche” de marca cara. Ofreciendo una solución más en el mercado y permitiendo que todo tipo de usuarios puedan adquirir un producto Noctua. No por ser...

  • La estética está adaptada a los nuevos tiempo, Soporta procesadores de hasta 16 núcleos sin muchos problemas, El nivel de ruido es bajo aún a elevadas revoluciones, Cuenta con bracket para procesadores Intel y AMD modernos, Incluye pasta térmica NT-H1 par
  • Nada que destacar
  • Este disipador Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black es una actualización de diseño con respecto al modelo clásico. No aporta realmente nuevo, salvo estética y los anclajes más modernos. Aunque realmente parezca muy sencillo, tiene un rendimiento realmente especta...

  • Estética mejorada frente al modelo original, Excelente refrigeración incluso para un i99900K, Sonoridad mínima, incluso a máximas revoluciones, Excelente sistema de montaje, fácil y robusto, Incluye jeringuilla de pasta térmica NTH1 de alta calidad, 100%
  • Precio algo elevado
  • El Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black es sin lugar a dudas uno de los mejores disipadores que ofrece la marca y que podemos encontrar en el mercado, pues aunque no ofrece el rendimiento top de su hermano D15, si es mucho más comedido en cuanto a dimensiones y p...

  • Noctua ha dado un buen lavado de cara al conocido modelo NH-U12S original, con una decoración enteramente de color negro que le otorga una imagen mucho más moderna y fresca. La calidad de materiales y presentación como es norma en Noctua sienta cátedra, s...
