Noctua NH-U12A, Premium CPU Cooler with High-Performance Quiet NF-A12x25 PWM Fans (120mm, Brown)

On my recent 5800X build (running PBO and curve optimizer, nothing fancy) I tried out a relatively nice 360mm AIO with push/pull fans (so 6 fans in total) and then one of these. Performance (Cinebench scores and max temps during runs) was so close as to be indistinguishable between the two, and Ive been testing the Noctua during the recent west coast heat wave, so make of that what you will. All other things being equal, air has obvious advantages, and I wont be swapping the AIO back in.

Its better than D15 in terms of noise at max speed with similar amount of cooling.

Schön kompakter Kühler, welcher sehr einfach zu montieren ist. Dabei lässt er Abstand zur Grafikkarte und auch zum Ram. Mit definierter Lüfterkurve agiert der Kühler auch sehr leise. Lässt man die Lüfter aufdrehen, wird es laut, klar, bei 2000rpm. Man hört aber nur die dabei bewegte Luft!

I think this is 100% overpriced, but what you get is a solid/big cooler that can fit in any ATX or mATX case. The noise is acceptable for the 100$+ price tag, and I get anywhere from 25-35 degrees idle on my 5800x3D CPU with temps that don’t go higher than 80c under load. It’s just good

値段も市場価格にみあった設定で、梱包も問題なく、配達日も予定通りでした。

This cooler keeps my 3900X CPU comfortably cool, but I never actually hear it even during intense use. Im very impressed with how quiet this thing is, it was a very nice surprise.

I bought this to replace the single 140mm radiator that came with my new MSI Aegis 5800x. I was hitting core temps of 90+ degrees at default settings for the PC. Im rarely seeing 65 degrees now. Easy to install on AM4 socket. If you are replacing an existing AM4 cooler then fold some cardboard to set behind the case cutout for the cpu to keep inward pressure on the mount before removing existing bracket. Excellent cooler!!!

I replace it with one of liquid cooler one and now more satisfied .

Ce ventirad fonctionne très bien : fabrication dexcellente qualité, extrêmement silencieux, très bonne performance de refroidissement sur un Intel Core i7-12700. Le montage est néanmoins un peu délicat en upgrade, car il nécessite de démonter la carte mère pour installer la platine et les vis par le dessous. Point positif : certains articles sur le net mentionnent une incompatibilité avec les cartes Asus. En réalité, parfaitement adapté à ma carte mère Asus ProArt Z690 Creator Wifi. Il aurait été difficile de monter un ventirad plus imposant dans ma configuration, donc meilleur rapport performance/encombrement. Très satisfait du produit.

Noctua e sempre una garanzia. Questo non è un dissipatore qualsiasi, questo è il dissipatore! Sarà anche un 120mm ma fa a botte con dissipatori ad aria e a liquido più grossi di lui. Silenzioso da far paura e capace di tenere fresca qualsiasi CPU. Certo costa un bel po (ma sempre meno di un qualsiasi dissipatore a liquido decente) ma basta pensare che solo una ventola (che non e altro che il nuovo top di gamma di noctua) vale 30 euro, (e qui ne abbiamo due) quindi il prezzo poi non e così eccessivo.
