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

its good

Performance on par with a 240 AIO but way quieter, and super simple installation on AM4 considering most AIO use the same pump and installation which can be annoying. Though you can buy an addon to not make it so bad. This however, is just plug and play. Solid black brings the system uniformity and with the chromax customization can tkae it even further. Highly recommended if you want a highly compatible Tower Cooler without it being so massive.

this cooler is perfect for my 10900k, Temps are at 55-60 under 100% load, if anyone is having problems with Temps with this cooler make sure its tighten to the cpu enough, I didnt have mine tightened enough and it got really hot around 80-90, overall amazing product, would buy again

Shipping was fast. Once i got the product it was wrapped in an Amazon box, then the original package.

Después de años con refrigeraciones liquidas decidí pasarme a aire. Leí varias reviews donde ponían al U12A mejor que el D15 incluso con CPUs como el 12900k, como el mio. El resultado es que limitando la CPU a 192w (rinde un 95% como a tope) el disipador consigue mantenerlo a 85 grados con casi nada de ruido. Muy recomendado.

AND IS DEAD SILENT TOO. i was immediately convinced and ordered replacement fans and coolers for all my rigs. Noctua wins. (on further review, Dead Silent may be subjective to how sensitive your ears and body are to SUPER HIGH FREQUENCY WHINE/DRONE)

You better have a big enough ATX case for this cooler. I used it for almost 6 months. I got decent temps with the Noctua, CPU 43-45c at idle. However, I made two changes that dropped temp almost 10c on both CPU and GPU,. 1) AIO cooler for CPU and 2) Vertical riser and custom fans for GPU. The Noctua was like having a base board radiator in the case and it was heating the air in mid-case and restricting air flow. Maybe a bigger air flow case would have been better for the Noctua.

This Noctua cooler is amazing. Many people already know and trust the brand, so it made it easy for me to justify purchasing it. This is the best cooler I’ve found so far and I doubt I will be ditching anytime soon.

Larticle est arrivé endommagé, sûrement déjà ouvert et mal remballé... très déçu car je dois nettoyer la surface en contact avec le processeur.

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.
