> 3 dayPerhaps if I (re)computed Pi all day, or played games, the fans would spin up. But, we know Pi to many billions of digits, and I dont play heavy games (on this computer). Always cool and quiet with this heat-sink. The highest temperature Ive ever seen using this heat sink was 47degC.

Greater than one weekAbsolutely brilliant. But the brace bracket for the rear of the motherboard left a 1mm gap but wasnt a problem as I used one that was already in. On stress tests on a i9 9900k 5ghz its average temp was 58c with a minimum 35c Im very happy with this

> 3 dayHe decirlo porque si no reviento. Pedazo disipador, capaz de amansar cualquier procesador de 8 núcleos. Lo tengo con un Ryzen 7 1700 si lo se a buenas horas. Pero lo importante es que es capaz de mantener 70 grados con el procesador overclockeado a su absoluto limite. También tengo que resaltar que es una tumba, super silencioso incluso con el pc en carga. Para quienes vengan por parte de Intel también he de decir que un amigo pillo exactamente el mismo disipador y es capaz de mantener el i7 10700K a 4,9GHz con 73 grados jugando y 85 con prueba muy intensivas de procesador. Si quieres despreocuparte de la temperatura de tu CPU este es una de las mejores soluciones por aire.

> 3 dayMontage avec Ryzen, ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI), barettes Crucial Ballistix 3600, faut juste prendre le temps de lire la doc (une page dédiée à chaque processeur). Montage à plat avant de fixer la carte mère (je monte tout à plat, processeur, ram et ventirad pour éviter les flexions, sur certaines cm ça peut peut être poser des pbs). On peut facilement enlever les ventilateurs et les remettre ce que jai fait pour visser la carte mère au boitier. Pour la hauteur max des barettes cf spec des Crucial Ballistix ça vous donnera une idée, avec ce ventirad jai encore de la marge, assemblé avec les deux ventilateurs.

> 3 dayLa eficiencia de los productos de noctua es conocida por todos, en concreto este ventilador con un precio ligeramente elevado echará para atrás a mucha gente, pero se están equivocando ya que por menos de ese precio no conseguirán algo mejor, supera a muchas AIO liquidas y tiene un nivel de ruido más bajo incluso que alguna de ellas.

Greater than one weekGreat cooler, works very well with my I7 4790k. Awesome product from Noctua as always.
The NH-U12A is the latest, 5th generation of Noctua’s NH-U12 series of 120mm size premium-quality quiet CPU coolers. Conceived to push the envelope of the 120mm form factor, it combines two of Noctua’s flagship model NF-A12x25 PWM 120mm fans with a completely redesigned heatsink featuring 7 heatpipes and an increased fin surface area for superior heat dissipation. This way, the NH-U12A can rival the performance of many 140mm size coolers while offering 120mm class case and PCIe compatibility. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12A is a deluxe choice that combines top-tier performance with excellent compatibility and outstanding quietness of operation.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 158mm tall, the NH-U12A is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on most standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups. |
100% RAM compatibility on LGA1700/1200 and AM4/AM5Due to its asymmetric design, the NH-U12A does not overhang the RAM slots on Intel LGA1700 (LGA17xx family)/LGA1200/LGA115x and AMD AM4/AM5 based motherboards, which ensures easy access to the modules and 100% compatibility with tall heat-spreaders. On LGA2066, the rear fan will overhang the RAM slots on the left-hand side of the socket, so RAM modules should not exceed 42mm in height.* |
Dual NF-A12 120mm fansThe NF-A12x25 is a highly optimised next-generation 120mm fan that integrates Noctua’s latest innovations in aerodynamic engineering in order to achieve an unprecedented level of quiet cooling performance. Using this elite-class fan in a push/pull dual fan configuration is one of the cornerstones of the NH-U12A’s commanding performance and acoustic efficiency. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundNoctua’s much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. Chosen again and again by overclockers and enthusiast users worldwide, it has established itself as a benchmark for premium-quality thermal compounds. |

* In cases with more than 158mm CPU cooler clearance, the rear fan can be moved upwards to make room for memory modules taller than 42mm.
140mm performance in 120mm size
Thanks to its completely revised 7 heatpipe layout, 37% more fin surface area and a dual fan push/pull configuration that uses the new, state-of-the-art NF-A12x25 fans, the NH-U12A can actually match or even outperform many 140mm sized coolers.
