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

The Noctua NH-U12A is surprisingly quiet, it is exactly as the reviews described. I did some basic testing and it alone - without any other case fans - managed to keep the temp of a Core i7 12700K steady at 35. I still have to do additional testing and will update this review when that is done. Although, the price is a bit high I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a none liquid cooling solution.

Bought this to replace a 1 year old AIO liquid cooler that started overheating for no apparent reason, I decided to go back to air cooling and obviously went for Noctua.

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.

I have a Ryzen 9 5900x this doesnt really get the job done on that CPU. I have no idea why the reviews say this thing is quiet, even at 80% Fan speed I could hear the fans going even more than my GPU fans.

This thing can handle my 3950x,5950x,and12900K no problem.

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.

Everything is good but the fans didnt match my build and no options to buy one from Noctua

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 .

Tenia buenas referencias de este disipador y las cumplió a cabalidad. 100% recomendado.

Likes: easy to install, very quiet, looks great in black with the optional chromax colored cover. GREAT cooling for my i7 9700k. Seeing a 5-7 degree drop from previous Deepcool cooler. Much smaller than the DH-15!
