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

Works great. Much easier to install than other tower air coolers Ive used. Just follow the included directions and dont put too much thermal paste and youre set. Postal service lost my package and it took me an extra week to get this but not Amazons fault so no stars taken off.

Plus de 2 ans dattente, le voilà enfin (et 11 mois pour dénicher une 3080Ti Founder Edition sur le site Nvidia redirigé vers le vendeur officiel LDLC, ça devient compliqué de sapprovisionner ) !

It works very similarly to D15S on 12700K but it is a lot smaller and better looking and comes with two flagship NF-A12x25 fans that cost $44 each. I am not worried that this would bend the board and break off during movement either. It feels much more stable because of its size. I think most people should skip D15/D15s and buy this instead. The installation is also easier. I also had a chance to try Scythe Fuma 2 Rev B which cost almost half as much. It is similar in size and performs well but not good enough for 12700K imo. It was definitely running hotter during benchmarks. But if you want to save on cost, I would recommend that, not D15S. This is not twice as good as Fuma 2 overall, more like 20% better. Overall I think the heatsink itself is not anything special, its the 2x NF-A12x25s that make it work. I think if you buy two of those and put them on a cheaper tower cooler, it would perform similarly. Most of the money here is going to those two fans.

After doing some research and trying to find a cooler that is not a AIO this fits the bill perfectly. it is quiet, easy to install, and comes with everything you need in the box for a LGA 1700 and you do not need to worry about reaching out the the manufacture for parts.

Da ich kein Fan von Aios und Wasserkühlungen bin habe ich für meinen I5-12600k diesen Lüfter verbaut und bin begeistert , probierts aus und ihr werdet keine Aios mehr benötigen.

Got this to cool an intel i9 12900k. I generally dislike water coolers because as sound as an aio maybe I am uneasy having water near electronics. Anyway, I am able to keep an i9 12900k in the 80 to 82c range with peak temperature of 82c p cores overclocked to 4.8Ghz E cores 3.7Ghz under heavy load. In gaming it floats around in the 60c range. So if you are using your rig for gaming only you could maybe push those clock speeds a bit higher and remain in an acceptable range. Fans do not interfere with DIMM slots on a MSI Z690 EDGE board which is huge for me because I was concerned about the ram clearance. Overall, if you dont want to use water cooling this is definitely the next best thing you can buy. Pricey, but worth 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.

This thing works!!! Better (lower temps) and Quieter than my old CPU cooler. No RAM restrictions.

If youre considering this fan, then you probably already know of Noctuas stellar reputation. This is now the second CPU cooler of bought of theirs, and Ive also bought several models of their case fans in the past, all to great success.

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.
