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

I ordered this cooler based upon PCPartsPickers compatibility recomendation for the Asus ROG STRIX Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 motherboard. But when I checked on the Noctua Compatibility Centre site, I discovered that it is NOT compatible with this motherboard. So, I returned it and ordered a Noctua cooler that IS compatible: the Noctua NH-D12L.

I will never use water stuff around electricity, and people have gone mad with their insane water cooler pcs. This air cooler is better than almost all of the aio coolers out there. Its very quiet, and if it needs to speed up the cooling, it does it immediately. My CPU never passes 60 degrees during heavy gaming. The only issue I have is the weird latches of the fans that connect to the cooler itself. Its hard to remove them if you have it installed and want to adjust stuff around the mobo.

Beautiful cooler, added the white pads and its perfect. I have it paired with the Asus Dark Hero and a 5950x with pbo and my temps are slightly better than the nh-d15 but with fans that are easier to attach and a less invasive heatsink. I can see my royals perfectly : )

Bought this cooler as it was the only one that supported LGA 1700 out of the box. It keeps my 12600k in the high 60s under load.

Il dissipatore è abbastanza silenzioso e offre performance eccellenti.

this cooler is perfect for my 10900k, Temps are at 55-60 under 100% load, if anyone is having problems with Temps with this cooler make sure its tighten to the cpu enough, I didnt have mine tightened enough and it got really hot around 80-90, overall amazing product, would buy again

Muy muy bueno

Dieser ralativ kompakte Kühler schafft es den Ryzen 7950X in fast allen Situationen weit unter der 95°C-Grenze zu halten. Nur bei Cinebench r23 (multi core) kam er an diese Grenze. Nur wer alle Kerne maximal Stresst, 3D Rendering wie beim Cinebench oder dergleichen betreibt, der solle den Ryzen etwas runterregeln, alle andere müssen nichts weiter tun. -- Ich betone das, weil ich oft lese, dass für den 7950X zwingend eine große Wasserkühlung von Nöten sei. Wasserkühlungen sind mir wegen des möglichen Wasserschadens nicht ganz geheuer. Der Noctua ist zwar genauso teuer wie eine günstige Wasserkühlung, aber wer schon über 600 EUR für einen Prozessor ausgibt, der muss eben auch in einen guten Kühler investieren.

I am running this with my new 12700k non-overclocked and the temperatures easily stay around 64-68C during a stress test. With a custom fan curve its super quiet while still easily keeping things cool.

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