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

Have no issues. Quiet, easy to install, everything needed is included un the box

trying to cool a 5800x3d. I switched to this from a 40$ NZXT tower cooler thts 5 heat pipes with one fan push. (get 42c-74c)

The U12A is a great air cooler albeit the most expensive one. I use it in a small mATX case (inwin 301) where airflow is poor. Does a great job cooling an r5 3600 idling in high 30s to low 40s. In cinebench r23 max temp 74 degrees and while gaming up to 78 degrees max spike. I know the 3600 is not hard to cool. The U12A gives slightly better cooling performance than the wraith prism. About 4-6 degrees delta but its much better at being silent. At 100% max fan spin, while audible it is not very loud. Ive also used this cooler with a 5900x in the same case and that CPU is a hot one! It can cool the 5900x in cinebench r23 at high 70s to mid 80s and idle at around 45-50 degrees. While gaming I saw the 5900x temps spike really high. CPU package up to 89 degrees and CCD1 go up to 93. That being said the U12A chromax black is still a great cooler that I can easily recommend. If your case is limited to 158mm cooler height and youre thinking about purchasing this... do it, you wont regret it.

Overall, I am happy with the result. I have always wanted black Noutua fans for years and finally they drop this. Compare to my Noctua NH-D15, Noctua NH-U12A is still comes with similar cooling performance as my Ryzen 7 5800x temp idles at around 27 to 30C and hits 40C for heavy work load. This is very similar to my Noctua NH-D15 but in a smaller formfactor.

Stop. Just stop and get it. Ran an AIO for more than a year for aesthetic and cooling purposes until the pump whine became too much.

Seems a little louder than the bigger styles but fit and performs well.

good product and good quality

This air cooler keeps my CPU cooler than muly old water cooling system did, and its much quieter. Always trust Noctua. And thankfully the colors are all black, so no more hideous brown and tan fans. Buy this cooler!

This is my second Noctua CPU cooler. Then first one being a low profile model for a smaller (thinner) case. It is easy to install. Just make sure to check MOBO and CPU compatibility on Noctua’s web site, as well as specs height (so it fits in your case). Then just follow the instructions that come with it for your type of CPU socket (Intel or AMD) and you should be fine. With this model you can install 1 or both fans (depending on your needs). Noctua support via contact means provided in their website is great. Hapoy with Noctua.
