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

As long as your case has decent airflow, this cooler is so nice. Its quieter than my old Corsair AIO and cools about the same. Had to replace the AIO due to a dying pump. I run with a 5800x and get good temps.

Overall it was a fairly simple job, but my recommendation is to read every line of the instruction guide to save yourself some headaches. Here are some issues that I ran into by not doing that.

I bought this for my 13900k and it would thermal throttle under no stress at all.. I spent 120 dollars for it and 40+ to have it shipped to my country. I feel absolutely ripped off.

Mounted on a 10700k. It has better thermals thank my previous 240mm AIO.

super ventirad, très facile a installer refroidis mon processeur 12700k sans problème sans overclocking sinon passer avec un watercooling pour un overclock. je recommande sans hésitation ce ventirad

Muy muy bueno

Excellent ventirad, design sympa et performance au top sur un 12700k.

Purchased 2 units to upgrade an Intel and AMD motherboards from a pair of Deepcool Gammaxx GTE V2. Well, I was impressed with the presentation and boxing but the performance were below expectations. The idle was in the upper 40c compared to the Deepcool on the Intel MB which kept it steady in the lower 30s and the high stress test they both were about neck & neck around 70c. Now for the AMD, mid 50s at idle with the Deepcool in the upper 30s. The stress test for both were around the same in the lower 70s. I moved fans , tweaked fans and still no changes. Well, like I mentioned earlier the units looks nice but the price to performance were not! I returned both units and reinstalled the Deepcool units…fighting the power! I’m glad it worked for most, just not for me!

I always choose Noctua Products because they are easy to install and they do what they are supposed to do. Also, Noctua provides a Wealth of Information on their Website about all their Models, so I can make a informed decision on which Model to use. As the saying goes It takes a good Engineer to make a simple Machine to do a simple Job.

My cpu temperature was above 90c degrees for a while that I realized the water cooler pump stopped working, then I bought this air cooler and it solved the heating problem and even cooler than the water cooler, very satisfied with the results. Highly recommended.
