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

This will last forever and performs well, however there are many cheaper options that will be near the same as this

Die bekannte und bewährte Qualität erfordert eigentlich keinen weiteren Kommentar: Alles Bestens !

Cooler better than or equal to most liquid coolers.

The noise level is quite low and the cooling performance you get out of this CPU cooler is fantastic. My one gripe with the product is that its a pain in the butt to screw the heatsink to the motherboard after mounting it. However, once that process is finished then the then the rest of the installation is simple.

Read through the simple directions in accordance with your motherboard. Works great for my i7 and probably would use it on an i9.

Overall it was a fairly simple job, but my recommendation is to read every line of the instruction guide to save yourself some headaches. Here are some issues that I ran into by not doing that.

Great cooler. Nice and quiet. Keeps the temps good as well. Size fits perfectly in a standard ATX case.

Works great. Much easier to install than other tower air coolers Ive used. Just follow the included directions and dont put too much thermal paste and youre set. Postal service lost my package and it took me an extra week to get this but not Amazons fault so no stars taken off.

Ok, so if youve researched you know this is one of the most expensive coolers. With this you really do get what you pay for. Quality construction, silent operation, and great performance. The goal with this latest pc build was use as many used, secondhand, and left over parts as possible. The Noctua was one of the few components purchased new and it was a wise choice. Honestly works better that the old AIO that it replaced. Unlike that leaky AIO, this will last forever, only needing a fan change many many years down the road.

Fans are a bit obnoxious to get back on during the install but aside from that i cannot find anything else to nitpick
