Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black)

Does the job runs quiet and keeps CPU cool ! Looks nice too

Bonne alternative à mon AIO dont la pompe ma lâchée au bout de 3 ans et pas de soucis de remise à niveau du liquide de refroidissement avec les refroidissements à air. Se monte très facilement dans une config déjà montée.

At first I was going to do an AIO route for this second build and decided on the Noctua NH-U12A Chroma.Black for the simplicity and quiet operation to cool down my Ryzen 7 5800X.

sur une cm m-atx gygabite z690M + i7 13700K. hauteur < 160mm, encombrement permet de le mettre dans un build assez compact. Installation facile, pate thermique noctua fournie

Gut gelaufen und funktioniert sehr gut.Sehr gute Kühlleistung.

Was sent a product that had been used, missing the mounting clips and an empty bottle of thermal paste came in the box

This cooler works as well as most AIOs quiet and cools well

I did not want to liquid cool, so I took a chance on this fan. Works well with Ryzen 5900 and my ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero AMD AM4 X570S. Normal web surfing and Word and Excel, the idle temp is around 33 Celsius. I run the fans on quiet mode. When video rendering, the temp goes to 65 degrees. The processor is running at 4700 MHz. If it gets near 70, the fan kicks into higher mode and keeps the temp below 65. I have a full size case. I am not a gamer, but I suspect the temp will be kept below 70. I love the Ryzen because the the cpu speed drops below 500 MHz. I have been using this system since I built it March. I am extremely pleased. My case supports liquid cooling, but I see no need for it. The reason I chose the Asus MB is that superbly built and has lots of USB ports.

Performance on par with a 240 AIO but way quieter, and super simple installation on AM4 considering most AIO use the same pump and installation which can be annoying. Though you can buy an addon to not make it so bad. This however, is just plug and play. Solid black brings the system uniformity and with the chromax customization can tkae it even further. Highly recommended if you want a highly compatible Tower Cooler without it being so massive.

Using this with a 12700k & It idles around 30c and is around 50c-60c while gaming, max temp Ive seen was 85c under 100% load but thats expected with the 12700k and air cooling. (ambient room temp is around 25c)
