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

Flawlessly silent, easy to install with instructions, and did wonders for my pc and noise levels.

Excellent ventirad, design sympa et performance au top sur un 12700k.

I opened the box and could not help but laugh at the size, this thing is huge and must weigh over a pound . My first thought was that it was comically large. In the pictures you can see it sitting on the CPU, and it size compared to the I/O plate of the mother board, the second pic is it sitting next to the stock AMD Cooler that came with my Ryzen 5700G. The instructions recommend you take off the cooler before transporting it because you dont want that weight bouncing around while attached to the MB. Its big.

Bought this cooler as it was the only one that supported LGA 1700 out of the box. It keeps my 12600k in the high 60s under load.

When youre looking for a CPU cooler that peforms as well as, if not better than an AIO water cooling solution when properly installed then look no further. Noctua is the king of the road when it comes to fans and PC cooling devices in my humble opinion and this cooler is no exception. Installation was easy since this was a brand new build. The kit came with everything you need for almost any modern CPU socket/form factor. Noctua thermal compound and a batch of other accessories make for a thoughtful touch and its much appreciated. The system barely got warm running a series of full system stress testing during my burn-in cycle. Overall Ive always been and still continue to be a fan of Noctua products. Its nice to see a company take pride in its work..

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.

Der Lüfter ist echt super obwohl etwas teuer.

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:

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.

Really easy to install n works great in my gaming pc
