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

Installation: very simple, mounting system was easy to install, screwing the tower down onto it was equally as easy and the fans clipped on nicely building inside the case.

Immer wieder schön so einen wertigen und qualitativ hohen Kühler zu verbauen. Für die Größe einfach top Kühlung und vor allem leise

The only thing I do not like about it is the lack of installing information you have to pull on the tabs much harder than you would think to mount the fans but it may be user error

I bought it as it was the only LGA 1700 compatible cooler I could find. Being a Noctua product I had high expectations for it, and they were definitely met!

Was expecting nhd15 levels of performance, at best. What I got was far superior cooling. I cant guarantee there wasnt an issue with the mount of my nhd15 to my i7-12700k, however, temps are a solid 8c cooler during Aida or p95 stress tests. You can tell this cooler was engineered very thoughtfully. Its densely constructed with a thick copper base. Heat pipes saturate every point of contact with the IHS. If I had to nitpick, the fans can get quite loud at full chat, but they perform excellently even at idle. Cant fault this cooler in basically any way, its very impressive. Installed in Fractal Torrent Nano.

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

Initially had gotten a unit that was broken through shipping. Luckily had gotten a replacement for it and have been fairly happy about it. There were still a few bent fins but, not hard bending them back and was only a couple of them.

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 .

Ist ziemlich groß aber kühlt sehr gut. Hab beim zocken vorher meist 85-90 Grad gehabt nun meist nur 75 Grad im Durchschnitt, tut was er soll. Montage ist einfach nur muss man das mainboard verschieben oder im Zweifel herausnehmen da er so groß ist.

Hands down the best CPU air cooler design and performance wise. The NH-D15 is a tiny bit better at cooling, but is massive which would work in my setup. After dealing with mounting pressure issues with my 12700K and Asus Z690-A with 2 reputable 240mm liquid coolers, I decided to try this out. Cant ask for a better performance per square inch. This thing keeps my 12700K @5.0 GHz P-cores and 4.0GHz E-cores nice and cool averaging 65C during gaming. Definitely worth the extra cost.
