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

Great cooler if you can find it on sale. A low end AIO would be around the same price and performance, but would possibly be a little louder.

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

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.

It is ridiculously quiet, I do not hear the fans at all. It was larger than I thought it would be, that is my fault for not reading the measurements. Make sure you pay attention to where your memory slots are on your board. This now covers two slots on mine but that is OK as I went with x32 GB for 64 GB which is more than enough for what this computer build is meant to do.

I opened the box and could not help but laugh at the size, this thing is huge and must weigh over a pound . My first thought was that it was comically large. In the pictures you can see it sitting on the CPU, and it size compared to the I/O plate of the mother board, the second pic is it sitting next to the stock AMD Cooler that came with my Ryzen 5700G. The instructions recommend you take off the cooler before transporting it because you dont want that weight bouncing around while attached to the MB. Its big.

This air cooler keeps my CPU cooler than muly old water cooling system did, and its much quieter. Always trust Noctua. And thankfully the colors are all black, so no more hideous brown and tan fans. Buy this cooler!

Absolutely the case -- This is the second-best air cooler on the market at the current time, with only the Noctua NH-D15 upping it for first place, but at a much larger form factor. There is absolutely NOTHING bad to say about this fan. It may not have RGB lighting, but boy does it do its job. I am running a 12900K, which has a tendency to get particularly hot. But with this cooler, I havent even hit 150° yet, and I render video in 4K and game in 2K.

So my MSI AIO was failing after about only a year or so. Found out there was a recall on it. Too late to get a new one. Idle temps were in the 70s. Decided to go with just a fan cooler this time. Not sure why, just wanted something different I guess. I have always heard good things about Noctua coolers so figured I would give it a shot. Now my idle temps are in the upper 30s and lower 40s. My room is a little warm, so maybe they would be cooler if the ambient temps were a little lower. But Ill take it. Under load with a few games it never went over 65C. So if you are on the fence, I dont think you will be disappointed.

Like all Noctua products, the quality is exceptional. It is a touch difficult sometimes to get the screws going when mounting the cooler, but thats about it. Keeps my Ryzer 7 at good temps. I did try out their smaller 92mm single fan cpu cooler version for a bit. Compared to that I got 5 degrees lower on idle, and around 9 degrees cooler on load on Cinebench. That is going from a single 92mm cooler to dual 120mm, so the improvement makes sense. That just goes to show how good their smaller coolers are! If you dont plan to overclock your cpu I would go with their smaller cooler as the difference isnt massive. This particular all black version is on the pricier side (thats the 1 star drop). Nonetheless, Noctua is my go-to for anything cooling. I thought hard about buying an AiO from another brand but didnt want to have to worry about pump issues, leaking, or fitting the radiator in my case. Im happy I went with Noctua.

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
