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

If youre looking for a high end cooler that stays pretty quiet and keeps temps down - this is it. Better than the 212 Black Edition - but also double the price. If you want a high end build to cool down high end components, splurge and get this. Mounting is an absolute breeze.

For what you pay for this cooler, decent is not the standard when it comes to AM5 7000 series. 7900x to be exact. Im sure if youre running AM4 or last Gen Intel this is a great cooler its probably the best 120mm cooler for the situation. If youre running higher 7000 series CPUs spent that $120 towards a decent 360+mm aio and youll be just fine. I settled with a 420mm AIO, best move I made.

Very nice fan. It does not low at all and my whole set up is very silent. It is amazing. I am new to build a pc so it does take me a while to set it up. I would recommend you guys to watch tutorial on YouTube if you are a newbie on building pc like me.

It fits perfectly, designed to get the most you possibly can with a standard size build. Runs my 10700k between 50c and 69c with a 34percent overclock from stock settings.

The Stock Cooler on an Intel i7-8700 was not cutting it when pushed hard. When importing point cloud scan data the CPU would constantly hit thermal limits at 99-100c hindering performance and putting the hardware in a dangerous temp zone. The U12A keeps an average temp of 62c with individual core peeks at 78c during extended 100% cpu utilization. CPU performance now remains consistent and no more loud fan noise ramping up and down. Good investment to prolong the useful life of my existing hardware. The Cooler, Fans & contents of installation kit are exceptional and well worth the money.

They don’t miss, it’s a great looking and performing cooler.

From what I’ve heard the 12 gen cpus run really hot and this has no problem cooling my cpu 33-40c idle and while gaming 50-67c so if you’re thinking about buying this I would.

This thing works!!! Better (lower temps) and Quieter than my old CPU cooler. No RAM restrictions.

macht was es soll. CPU Temperatur bei mäßiger Belastung unter 40 °C. Hohe Belastung noch nicht getestet.

Ich habe einen kompakten CPU Kühler gesucht der einen Ryzen 7 5800x kühlen kann, relativ leise ist, leicht zu montieren ist, gut aussieht und eine gute Qualität hat.
