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

Really easy to install n works great in my gaming pc

I opened the box and could not help but laugh at the size, this thing is huge and must weigh over a pound . My first thought was that it was comically large. In the pictures you can see it sitting on the CPU, and it size compared to the I/O plate of the mother board, the second pic is it sitting next to the stock AMD Cooler that came with my Ryzen 5700G. The instructions recommend you take off the cooler before transporting it because you dont want that weight bouncing around while attached to the MB. Its big.

Overall, I am happy with the result. I have always wanted black Noutua fans for years and finally they drop this. Compare to my Noctua NH-D15, Noctua NH-U12A is still comes with similar cooling performance as my Ryzen 7 5800x temp idles at around 27 to 30C and hits 40C for heavy work load. This is very similar to my Noctua NH-D15 but in a smaller formfactor.

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

Acheté pour remplacer un watercooling Enermax défectueux sur un processeur Intel I5 10600K, je ne regrette pas mon achat car il est tout aussi performant quun refroidissement liquide. Pour info, le watercooling en panne ma été remboursé par Amazon. Je suis donc très satisfait du ventirad Noctua et dAmazon

I bought this for my 13900k and it would thermal throttle under no stress at all.. I spent 120 dollars for it and 40+ to have it shipped to my country. I feel absolutely ripped off.

The only thing I do not like about it is the lack of installing information you have to pull on the tabs much harder than you would think to mount the fans but it may be user error

Absolut Hammer Lüfter, kann man absolut mit keinen Bequiet Silent Wings 3 vergleichen.

Was expecting nhd15 levels of performance, at best. What I got was far superior cooling. I cant guarantee there wasnt an issue with the mount of my nhd15 to my i7-12700k, however, temps are a solid 8c cooler during Aida or p95 stress tests. You can tell this cooler was engineered very thoughtfully. Its densely constructed with a thick copper base. Heat pipes saturate every point of contact with the IHS. If I had to nitpick, the fans can get quite loud at full chat, but they perform excellently even at idle. Cant fault this cooler in basically any way, its very impressive. Installed in Fractal Torrent Nano.

Lo uso con un 13600k y anda perfecto. Solamente configurar bien la curva de temperatura en la BIOS para sacarle buen rendimiento al procesador. Hay que encontrar el punto de la curva de enfriamiento y se convierte en una bestia.
