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

I love that its small and black.

I tried to fit a Noctua NH-D15 about a year and a half ago and it was too large. I ended up getting a nzxt 120mm aio. The pump failed and I was able to rma it for a new one. After a few months the pump started to whine again so I purchased the NH-U12A as it said it has 100% RAM compatibility on LGA115x which is what I have.

This air cooler is phenomenal. It keeps my i7-12700k below 65 degrees while under load (gaming or huge file operations), and it is plenty quiet. I liked it so much, I put it on my brothers i9-12900k build, and it still keeps it under 70 degrees. I cannot recommend this cooler enough.

It includes the LGA 1700 socket mounting kit and it fits fine on an MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI DD4 mobo. They also include thermal paste as well. The fans are still attached using spring clips which work fine. The fans have nice rubbarised corners which helps with the assembly. Brackets are also included for AMD CPUs. The fans are quiet. Quality product by Noctua much better & less hassle than water pumps in my opinion.

not as good as a aio liquid cooler but definitely gets the job done and to me it looks 10x better that a aio. but thats my opinion. but it definitely keeps my temps in check.

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.

Muy muy bueno

I did not want to liquid cool, so I took a chance on this fan. Works well with Ryzen 5900 and my ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero AMD AM4 X570S. Normal web surfing and Word and Excel, the idle temp is around 33 Celsius. I run the fans on quiet mode. When video rendering, the temp goes to 65 degrees. The processor is running at 4700 MHz. If it gets near 70, the fan kicks into higher mode and keeps the temp below 65. I have a full size case. I am not a gamer, but I suspect the temp will be kept below 70. I love the Ryzen because the the cpu speed drops below 500 MHz. I have been using this system since I built it March. I am extremely pleased. My case supports liquid cooling, but I see no need for it. The reason I chose the Asus MB is that superbly built and has lots of USB ports.

Cooling factor is really great, but I cannot use both fans , the front one blocks my ram slots so I had to remove it. so be careful before buying it.

Ho sempre avuto dissipatori stock su intel i7 9700, dove le temperature in gaming su Warzone arrivavano anche a 98 gradi. Oggi, dopo averlo montato e dopo aver giocato per 2ore, ho riscontrato picchi di 80 gradi, con ina media di 65 gradi! Inoltre le ventole sono silenziosissime!!! Super soddisfatto!!!
