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

It is amazing, it’s not noticeable to me sound wise, looks great, and my CPU has been very cool never reaching 72+ in 1440p AAA titles

So Far so good

Comes with everything you need and great instructions!

Ive waited a long time for a black version of the legendary NH-U12A and here it is. Cannot complain, it looks very sleek, and cools better than all 280mm AIOs, sometimes reaching or even beating 360mm ones.

みんな大好きこてっちゃんから乗り換えました。まともな値段のタイミングで買えてよかった…！

Stop. Just stop and get it. Ran an AIO for more than a year for aesthetic and cooling purposes until the pump whine became too much.

Excellent all around cooler. Extremely good performance for such a small size. I love that it does not block the RAM, PCI slots nor the GPU; nor does it interfere with the case side panel.

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 .

When I was looking at coolers to pair with a Ryzen 5800x, I originally decided to get the D15S but changed my mind when Noctua released the U12A Chromax. I read that the D15S has some compatibility issues with certain motherboards pushing against the GPU, and ram clearance. While the D15S performs slightly better than the U12A, this cooler wins for its compact size and ability to cool just as good at the D15S. Installation is fairly easy, just make sure you mount it correctly so it clears the ram. If the pull fan is covering your ramp slots, youve installed it wrong. Lastly, get the heatsink cover, your PC will look so sharp!

Compared to other very respectable coolers I have used in the past, install of this one was very easy. Its also a plus that the metal fan mounts have a better design than similar style coolers and hold the fans on much more firmly.
