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

Me encantó este Cooler, es realmente muy bueno. Lo usé para un Intel Core i7-12700K y los resultados fueron excelentes, aún con este procesador que calienta bastante. En Idle se mantiene entre los 25° y 30° y en carga no me sube de 75°. El ventilador va variando su velocidad de acuerdo a lo que requiere, así que al realizar tareas sencillas, el ruido es mínimo, casi no se oye. Fue una excelente compra, si alguien lo quiere usar con este procesador o similar, puede comprarlo con toda confianza. 100% recomendado.

Very quiet fans, mounting system is great. Really nice to have LGA 1700 supported out of the box. However cooler is extremely large and was pretty much touching my ram.

I installed this cooler in a new computer build in April of 2022. I made sure to buy the black one since I didnt want the brown one in my completely no-windows case. Because reasons. Mostly, I didnt want to see brown fans every time I opened the case to clean it. Based on other reviews, Im not the only person who feels this way. I digress. The install was straightforward (although there are quite a number of steps compared to the old snap on coolers). Once inside the case, the cooler is whisper quiet and takes good care of my i7-12700K processor, even under load. A few things to note:

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

Initially I was disspointed because this appeared to not work better for me compared to a Noctua NH-U12S with one extra NF-F12 fan added for push-pull configuration. In time however I got to appreciate this cooler and what a good job it does keeping my i9-10900K super cool in all situations. Compact, does not block any RAM slots and super quiet.

I bought this to keep an i711700k cool under load, I play 4k over 60fps, the CPU is paired with a RTX3080ti and this cooler does a great job. Idle in the low 30s and have never seen the CPU over 60s Celsius. I am very happy, I spent too much on the GPU and NVMEs to have a liquid cooler leak for whatever reason. I more than happy with this air solution.

I choose Noctua for its Premium Look, easy installation and support for new socket even though theres ton of air cooler out there for cheapest price. Also, its hard to get one here in the Philippines as almost stores here are out of stock for this model. Thanks Noctua!

Premetto che ho due pc e questo e il secondo dissipatore noctua che compro e sono rimasto meravigliato dell efficacia di raffredamento e silenziosita che ha nei confronti del nd h15 che ho mantato su i9-12900kf mentre questo sta dissipando i9-10900k e sono rimasto meravigliato dato le sue dimensioni ridotte consiglio nh-12a che a prestazioni sono simili ma ancora piu silenzioso e prende meno spazio ottimo da parte di noctua

It doesnt look as good an AIO in my opinion but still the chromax black edition doesnt look that bad compared to the brown original version.

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.
