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

Great cooler that cools my 12700K well. Using in a Torrent case with great airflow so pairing with this cooler was a great choice. The cooler is built well and moves a lot of air with low noise.

Seems a little louder than the bigger styles but fit and performs well.

Keeps my 7950x3d around 50c-60c

The Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler is a high-performance and reliable cooling solution for computer enthusiasts and gamers.

Monté sur un I7-13700KF

Excellent no-compromise cooler for my i5-13600K, though a little expensive.

Hands down the best CPU air cooler design and performance wise. The NH-D15 is a tiny bit better at cooling, but is massive which would work in my setup. After dealing with mounting pressure issues with my 12700K and Asus Z690-A with 2 reputable 240mm liquid coolers, I decided to try this out. Cant ask for a better performance per square inch. This thing keeps my 12700K @5.0 GHz P-cores and 4.0GHz E-cores nice and cool averaging 65C during gaming. Definitely worth the extra cost.

Suite à une déception avec un watercooling AIO qui a fonctionné que quelques mois avant de rendre l’âme, j’ai voulu une solution plus pérenne et le système à caloducs est la solution, mais faut aussi un refroidissement au moins équivalent. Et bien le ventirad NH u12a donne les 2 solutions et s’offre même le luxe de mieux refroidir mon proc i7 11700k que l’aio (240mm msi).

Was expecting nhd15 levels of performance, at best. What I got was far superior cooling. I cant guarantee there wasnt an issue with the mount of my nhd15 to my i7-12700k, however, temps are a solid 8c cooler during Aida or p95 stress tests. You can tell this cooler was engineered very thoughtfully. Its densely constructed with a thick copper base. Heat pipes saturate every point of contact with the IHS. If I had to nitpick, the fans can get quite loud at full chat, but they perform excellently even at idle. Cant fault this cooler in basically any way, its very impressive. Installed in Fractal Torrent Nano.

Using on a 12600K CPU. Dead simple installation and simple fan mounting allowing for easy fan repositioning. Fantastic thermals at around 28c idle and 60c load after undervolting by 140mv. Highly recommended!
