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

Has thermo paste and wrench. Totally worth extra buck that you pay compared to competitors.

The only negative I can see is the fans mount to the radiator. They are only held on via spring tension by two thin metal wires.

The compact format, compared to similar performance coolers, and the fantastic new fans makes this cooler a very good option for those who need this level of performance at a more compact size.

super ventirad, très facile a installer refroidis mon processeur 12700k sans problème sans overclocking sinon passer avec un watercooling pour un overclock. je recommande sans hésitation ce ventirad

This out preforms my NZXT Kraken. Really quiet and no water inside my computer.

Ive been an avid nhd15 user. No more. I will now be using the u12a for future builds. I just built a 5950x system with a u12a and it keeps it from loosing its cool. Mid 80s when PBO optimized, same as the nhd15 i tried on the same system :) In my mind, its quieter and is not an eye sore in my case blocking the pretty ram that Ive got or causing me to loose skin trying to pull out my video card. As stated before, the temperatures seems like its the same as its bigger counterpart. The only negative thing that I can think of is that I did have a couple of bent fins but they were easily bent back into shape.

Mounted on 13700k and it comes with the kit I need for LGA1700. Idle at 32°C. Heavy work load at 72°C. Cool down very quickly. Do your research and make sure it fits your motherboard, ram and case. Read the instructions and make sure the orientation is correct. Fan direction is little unclear, I just watched other YouTubers build to get it right.

Sehr guter Kühler. Kühlt meinen 5800X3D echt gut und ist dabei mit optimierter Lüfterkurve nicht sehr störend. Im Idle nimmt man ihn überhaupt nicht wahr.

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.

I always choose Noctua Products because they are easy to install and they do what they are supposed to do. Also, Noctua provides a Wealth of Information on their Website about all their Models, so I can make a informed decision on which Model to use. As the saying goes It takes a good Engineer to make a simple Machine to do a simple Job.
