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

This cooler is awesome! First off, I wanted to go air cooling over water cooling on my i7-12700k and after countless hours of researched I arrived at this. It looks amazing, and the performance for an air cooler is unreal with it not going over 60c even on intense games which is equal to/outperforms many larger air cooling rivals.

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.

Beware! I was obliged to install only the outake fan because of the very big heatsink on dominator DDR5 platinum. I’m still more than happy with the performance so far, at max load on i7 12700k (4.8ghz) still dont goes over 75c on a very hot day, with a little tweak to the temp/fan speed obviously. Noted that i have 2 outake fan top and rear right next to the heatsink so i think it compensate for the missing pushing fan. My case is a NZXT h510 flow.

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.

check the Noctua page to understand what motherboards it will fit with. Understand that this does not account for a vertical mount GPU in most situations.

Good quality, all black cooler, works fine for LGA1700. Keeps i9-12900K cool enough at stock setting, should be good enough for moderate overclocking. Easy to install, premium all black Noctua fans, just wish Noctua would include NT-H2 thermal compound instead of NT-H1. Strongly recommended if you want non-RGB, high performance air cooling for your CPU.

Acheté pour remplacer un watercooling Enermax défectueux sur un processeur Intel I5 10600K, je ne regrette pas mon achat car il est tout aussi performant quun refroidissement liquide. Pour info, le watercooling en panne ma été remboursé par Amazon. Je suis donc très satisfait du ventirad Noctua et dAmazon

Refroidissement excellent, design parfait, je recommande.

Noctua siempre se ha caracterizado por ofrecer productos de altísima calidad, este caso no es la excepción, inclusive, creo que es el producto mas cuidadosamente diseñado por ellos. El desempeño contra las dimensiones del producto, su apariencia estética y encima la impresionante compatibilidad que ofrece el producto no tiene igual. Cuento con un chasis Corsair Carbide 175r RGB + AMD Ryzen 5 5600 y este disipador cayo como anillo al dedo en el. Estoy muy contento con el producto, en lo único que puedo quejarme es en el precio, pues actualmente hay otras marcas que ofrecen productos con muy buen desempeño a un precio mucho mas bajo, pero quizás no tengan la misma estética y compatibilidad que este producto, en conclusión, lo recomiendo.

When it comes to air cooling a CPU there is no better choice than noctua. The product arrived in perfect condition and is very visually appealing. Mounting was easy and the product quality was typical noctua - excellent. Im running a ryzen 7 5800x and cinebench r23 multi core peaked at 69 degrees celsius in a Lian li Lancool 2 mesh case. Also - I had the nh-d15s before and found that mounting the nh-u12a and installing the fans were much easier.
