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

I7 12900k wird mit den richtigen Fan Einstellungen auf 31 grad Idle gebracht, unter Last ca 85 konstant.

Excellent all around cooler. Extremely good performance for such a small size. I love that it does not block the RAM, PCI slots nor the GPU; nor does it interfere with the case side panel.

Beware! I was obliged to install only the outake fan because of the very big heatsink on dominator DDR5 platinum. I’m still more than happy with the performance so far, at max load on i7 12700k (4.8ghz) still dont goes over 75c on a very hot day, with a little tweak to the temp/fan speed obviously. Noted that i have 2 outake fan top and rear right next to the heatsink so i think it compensate for the missing pushing fan. My case is a NZXT h510 flow.

When youre looking for a CPU cooler that peforms as well as, if not better than an AIO water cooling solution when properly installed then look no further. Noctua is the king of the road when it comes to fans and PC cooling devices in my humble opinion and this cooler is no exception. Installation was easy since this was a brand new build. The kit came with everything you need for almost any modern CPU socket/form factor. Noctua thermal compound and a batch of other accessories make for a thoughtful touch and its much appreciated. The system barely got warm running a series of full system stress testing during my burn-in cycle. Overall Ive always been and still continue to be a fan of Noctua products. Its nice to see a company take pride in its work..

I bought the NH-12A version with the fan cover. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J8RQD6W/?coliid=IMUU7EVF0S8SY&colid=UCD6HGAMAZMA&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Its used with Graphite Thermal Pad. It works better than Corsair i150 AIO that i used almost 5 years. In general, it reduce about 15 Celscius.

Mounted on 13700k and it comes with the kit I need for LGA1700. Idle at 32°C. Heavy work load at 72°C. Cool down very quickly. Do your research and make sure it fits your motherboard, ram and case. Read the instructions and make sure the orientation is correct. Fan direction is little unclear, I just watched other YouTubers build to get it right.

Title says it all. This tiny thing beats both the 360mm Kraken and H150i that I had on my 13900K AND it simplifies my build by requiring no software.

Read through the simple directions in accordance with your motherboard. Works great for my i7 and probably would use it on an i9.

Went from an AMD Stock Cooler to the NH-U12A. Best decision made so far. The cooling is insane (Even though I don’t do OCing), and I went from an average temperature of 83-92C on Heavy Loads, to barely even going past 66C on Heavy Loads, even on BF1 and FiveM which are very very very CPU heavy. I run all my games on the highest settings on 4K resolution (3840x2160) and the CPU temps are blowing my mind. Get this cooler while you can! Black one looks better.
