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

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.

Primero, me di cuenta que la caja había sido abierta, la pestañita estaba un poco sobada lo cual ya me hizo sospechar que algo pasaría.

Instructions were clear and concise, all black is great, mounting is good(would like a preset torque driver included in the kit for the price), keeps a 11700K(stock) 10C under TJmax when running prime95s hardest test, cold plate is machined to an even and flat surface. All in all this is a good upgrade from Coolermaster 212 series.

This will last forever and performs well, however there are many cheaper options that will be near the same as this

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.

The UH-12A is a fantastic cooler that is quite impressive given it’s size. I’m very happy with the temps and low noise I’m getting while using it with a 5800x3d. It looks pretty sleek as well.

Used on a i9 12900k Build NZXT 510 Case . I was worried this would not cool the processor and i would need liquid cooling or the D15 . But this cooler is a beast . Silent as hell . Also in Black .

So my MSI AIO was failing after about only a year or so. Found out there was a recall on it. Too late to get a new one. Idle temps were in the 70s. Decided to go with just a fan cooler this time. Not sure why, just wanted something different I guess. I have always heard good things about Noctua coolers so figured I would give it a shot. Now my idle temps are in the upper 30s and lower 40s. My room is a little warm, so maybe they would be cooler if the ambient temps were a little lower. But Ill take it. Under load with a few games it never went over 65C. So if you are on the fence, I dont think you will be disappointed.

Ryzen 5700X ran in high 50s C with the original Wraith fan.

Have had no problem cooling my Ryzen 7700X CPU with light overclocking enabled. Experimented with ASUS AI overclocking and manual overclocking and it had no issues cooling the CPU with either enabled. Havent seen temps go above 80 degrees no matter what gaming or real world tasks I have done. I really like the fact that it is a realtively smaller dual tower air cooler so doesnt look too massive compared to a NH-D15, but still has excellent performance.
