Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black)

Tenía problemas con el disipador de serie de AMD Wraith Prism porque hacía mucho ruído, entonces compré todo el pack de Be Quiet! Shadow Wings 2 para mi PC. Le añadí el mismo ventilador que compré aparte, un Noctua NF-12 PWM chromax.black para hacer una configuración push and pull y así mejorar las temperaturas. He conseguido bajar unos 15 dB y mejorar las temperaturas en 24 grados.

Was debating forever to go air cooled vs water cooled. I was this close to getting water cooled because i did not like the big bulky plus ugly color air coolers. Until the pros didnt outweigh the cons for aio anymore. The pros for me on aio were sleeker looking, quiter, lower temps. The cons ,extra point of failure, possible leak, extra ui software that could possibly slow down my system/ use unnecessary resources. So i was already on the fence on air coolers just for the damn aio software ur forced to install. Then i saw many videos(including linus tech tips) where they show performance was almost on par with aio vs air coolers As well as other videos where the aio actually got louder than air coolers as they reved up(witch is the whole point of getting a damn water cooler is cause u think there suppose to be quieter but there not once they rev up) so after that there really was no pros anymore for aio. What sealed the deal for me was this beautiful all black edition noctua. Aswell as this mode is not so big as there flagship cooler(i didnt want something too bulky). Performance is great on my i7 4790k on stock turbo boost 4.4ghz (27 degrees on idle and when gaming around 40-50) aswell as the tinnitus the stock cpu cooler would cause is non existence anymore. The fact i can use my computer again without my ears ringing like crazy, alone are worth the price. It almost feels like a new computer. It feels and sounds quieter and more premium and i couldnt be happier. Def one of the best upgrades ive done for my pc.

Bought used (refurbished) from Noctua via Amazon. Aside from the original box having obvious signs of previous postage labels (it was sent to me in a larger brown box), the cooler itself and all the accessories (including thermal paste) were either as though they were untouched or replaced. In addition to the lightning-fast delivery (2 days from Austria to UK, despite the month estimate) and the 5-year warranty thats still included, the cooler is beautifully quiet (and not in the signature brown).

Perfect fix for my build, no noise at all

Avevo raffreddamento a liquido Enermax Liquimax ma si è bruciata la pompa, quindi ho deciso di tornare al raffreddamento ad aria poiché quello a liquido mi aveva un po deluso in termini di prestazioni.

Ran a stress test as soon as I finished installing it on an overclocked 6700k. Temps remained under 70 C for 15 minutes. Very low noise from fan.

Intel’s 11600K consumes very high wattage under full load, thus producing much heat. This cooler manages to keep the CPU at a max of 60C (with turbo on) under maximum stress for a couple minutes or so (ambient room is 71F or 22C). I don’t plan to overclock however and merely got this chip because it was cheaper than the 11600. If you do however, this cooler will work very nicely as there is plenty of thermal headroom for this chip specifically. All that being said, mine appears bent. I swear the heat sink is pressed evenly on the CPU though… I guess it’s just the cooler. And yeah, with the under load temperature the heat sink must be fully pressed against the CPU.

Keeps my 12700K cool without skipping a beat.

Ich war noch einer der glücklichen, die sogar die LTT Edition erhalten haben.

Noctua non delude mai, prestazioni al top e rumoristá, o meglio non rumorosità, visto che non si sente un sibilo. La versione LTT. Include dei gommini arancioni anti vibrazione oltre i gommini neri inclusi nella confezione normale. Nessun difetto da segnalare, facile da montare e ottime prestazioni.
