Noctua NH-U12A, Premium CPU Cooler with High-Performance Quiet NF-A12x25 PWM Fans (120mm, Brown)

Der Einbau des Noctua NH-U12A CPU-Kühlers ist sehr einfach und dauert nur ein paar Minuten. Das Gehäuse des Rechners muss aber breit genug sein. Die meisten kompakten PC-Gehäuse sind 200mm breit oder breiter. Der Einbau CPU-Kühlers in solche Gehäuse ist problemlos. Der Kühler benötigt mindestens 180mm Gehäusebreite.

From Noctua NH-P1 to this,

One of the best fans Noctua has ever made. The design means it can clear any RAM, while delivering silent cooling. Only caveat is be careful when screwing in the heatsink. Take your time and do it slowly one side and then the next a few turns at a time before the screws get threaded. Otherwise, perfect.

So Ive had an Amd Fx-8350 with at everything stock (stock fan, speed, and voltage) for 4 years now, it would run at 60C average (base clock 4.0ghz). With this cooler I was able to get 4.5ghz stable and running under load at MAX 65C. Couldnt recommend enough.

I was getting worried about my old AIO water cooler as it was over 8 years old. It still was working but I was beginning to get concerned about leaks onto my new 2060 Super. Installed the Noctua in about an hour and fired it up. Runs really quiet even more so that the AIO fans and water pump. It also shaved about 5c of my CPU temps when under heavy load.

Bought for i7 9700KF. Without overclocking in games(warzone) max temp is 56-57C. Zalman z3 case and msi z370 motherboard. My rams is corsair vengeance. No problem for rams.

Hace mas ruido que el cooler Master de mi otro ordenador. Y este me ha costado el triple. Pensé que era mejor por consejo de un amigo.

Noctua is the best, but unnecessary if you dont have an overclock-able CPU.

I got this Noctua cpu cooler to replace a single fan AIO. The single fan AIO cooler on an ITX build has the temperatures around 55-60 degrees on idle. After hearing a lot of good things about Noctua coolers, I decided to get this. Installation is easy compared to AIOs. I love that the fans are tooless for maintenance cleaning and installation. I have less cable to deal with because there is no RGB light on this, but my case have enough lights to showcase whats inside. Using the Noctua thermal paste, I was able to lower the temperatures to 38-45 degrees on idle. Thats a good temperature on an ITX build on a hot summer day. When playing video games, the cpu temps shoot up to 70 degrees average, and up to 75 on a really hot day. Im curently using Ryzen 9 3900X, which runs hotter than my previous Ryzen 7 2700X.

The cooler performs very well, however it is a bit expensive when compare to D15S which is cheaper but performs better, I bought this for maximum RAM compatibility , tho I thought they should lower the price to around 80 by including just one fan, let the consumer choose to have the second one.
