Noctua NH-U12A, Premium CPU Cooler with High-Performance Quiet NF-A12x25 PWM Fans (120mm, Brown)

Chosen for cooling performance and wide compatibility. But a bit overpriced as there are many alternatives that are much cheaper.

This cooler keeps my 3900X CPU comfortably cool, but I never actually hear it even during intense use. Im very impressed with how quiet this thing is, it was a very nice surprise.

This CPU cooler is replacing a different tower cooler. Both that old one and the NH-U12A are around the same size, and their fans spin at the same rpm. In spite of this I noticed a substantial temperature drop of 5°C in the extreme stress testing software prime95. The temperature drop is smaller under most realistic use cases, but this still gave me enhanced stability with my overclock.

This thing is great. If youre at all familiar with performance air coolers, this one will pleasantly surprise you on how efficient is it to install. Attach the backplate behind the mobo, and fasten it with front thumb screws. Take the fans off the cooler (extremely user friendly fan attachment btw), plop on your thermal paste, and put the heat sink on. tighten the two spring loaded screws even as you clamp down till its seating firmly. Reattach the fans. Oh your memory is tall and close to the CPU socket? No problem, just attach that fan a little higher to clear your ram sticks. wolah, done.

Nachdem mein Brocken 3 es vorher in meinem alten Cooler Master Masterbox 5 Mesh Case nicht geschafft hatte einen Ryzen 7 5800x3d unter 90 Grad Maximaltemperatur zu halten im Cinebench, habe ich auf den Noctua U12A umgerüstet und was soll ich sagen? Das Teil hält wirklich was es verspricht!
