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

Cooler came in a Amazons box to protect retail box from getting any damage and potentially from cooler getting damaged.

Bought an AIO and it lasted less than a year. Installed this and I am so happy with it. Sleek, powerful, and quiet. Keeps my Ryzen 5600x at a cool 65°c under load and it is quiet!!

The U12A is a great air cooler albeit the most expensive one. I use it in a small mATX case (inwin 301) where airflow is poor. Does a great job cooling an r5 3600 idling in high 30s to low 40s. In cinebench r23 max temp 74 degrees and while gaming up to 78 degrees max spike. I know the 3600 is not hard to cool. The U12A gives slightly better cooling performance than the wraith prism. About 4-6 degrees delta but its much better at being silent. At 100% max fan spin, while audible it is not very loud. Ive also used this cooler with a 5900x in the same case and that CPU is a hot one! It can cool the 5900x in cinebench r23 at high 70s to mid 80s and idle at around 45-50 degrees. While gaming I saw the 5900x temps spike really high. CPU package up to 89 degrees and CCD1 go up to 93. That being said the U12A chromax black is still a great cooler that I can easily recommend. If your case is limited to 158mm cooler height and youre thinking about purchasing this... do it, you wont regret it.

Przesyłka dotarła na czas. Prawidłowo zapakowana. Samo chłodzenie działa bardzo dobrze. i7 11700k podczas długiego grania nagrzewa się maksymalnie do około 70-75 stopni C. W większości gier temperatury są między 60 a 70 stopni C. Wiatraki w trakcie grania są słyszalne, ale nie uciążliwe. To moje drugie chłodzenie od Noctua i spisuje się bardzo dobrze.

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.

Looks absolutely gargantuan on tiny ITX motherboard. Depending on IO panel configuration, you may need to slide fan up a click or two. Despite performance, noise levels are low and pleasant.

thisll handle 12900k at stock fine, tested with intel xtu at full load, doesnt thermal throttle. i also set max rpm at 60 percent so its pretty quiet as well. stays around 70 to 80c or less. same temps in both a p600s with minimal fans and a lianli 011d air mini with full fan setup.

Keeps my 5800x3d nice and cool at all times. RAM clearance is another plus over its bigger brother.

Es muy fácil de montar, incluso alguien sin experiencia en montar este tipo de coolers lo podría hacer. Tal vez el nivel de ruido sea un poco mas alto del esperado, y las temperaturas tampoco bajan demasiado. Eso si no llega demasiado alto ni en tareas demandantes, con un Ryzen 7 3700x la máxima temperatura ha sido 67 grados centígrados.

Altamente recomendado. 0 ruido y una calidad excelente. Nota: debido a su peso, ya instalado se aprecia una ligera inclinación.
