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

Puede ser un poco agobiante de instalar si nunca has tenido productos Noctua como es mi caso, ya que en la guía de instalación se ven muchos pasos, pero realmente es muy sencillo, Noctua piensa en todo y eso se agradece mucho, silencioso, eficiente y bonito.

El producto funciona de maravilla, las instrucciones fueron muy claras para su instalación, el ruido es aceptable aún y cuando se sube al máximo la velocidad y la temperatura de mi procesador la disminuyó poco más de 10 grados a una temperatura ambiente de 25 grados aproximadamente y me gustó tanto su diseño como los materiales.

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.

Keeps my Ryzen 7 5800x cool clocked at 4.0ghz at 100% load. Doesnt hit over 73°c. Best decision I made for my CPU. Works great. Not load at all.

The U12A is a great air cooler albeit the most expensive one. I use it in a small mATX case (inwin 301) where airflow is poor. Does a great job cooling an r5 3600 idling in high 30s to low 40s. In cinebench r23 max temp 74 degrees and while gaming up to 78 degrees max spike. I know the 3600 is not hard to cool. The U12A gives slightly better cooling performance than the wraith prism. About 4-6 degrees delta but its much better at being silent. At 100% max fan spin, while audible it is not very loud. Ive also used this cooler with a 5900x in the same case and that CPU is a hot one! It can cool the 5900x in cinebench r23 at high 70s to mid 80s and idle at around 45-50 degrees. While gaming I saw the 5900x temps spike really high. CPU package up to 89 degrees and CCD1 go up to 93. That being said the U12A chromax black is still a great cooler that I can easily recommend. If your case is limited to 158mm cooler height and youre thinking about purchasing this... do it, you wont regret it.

My cpu temperature was above 90c degrees for a while that I realized the water cooler pump stopped working, then I bought this air cooler and it solved the heating problem and even cooler than the water cooler, very satisfied with the results. Highly recommended.

Purchased this cooler when the Intel 12th gen chips launched. Ordered it for the i9 12900K, it seemed to work well at first. But when playing games or using any task that made the CPU usage increase, temps dramatically went up. For example, I tried running a Prime95 benchmark only for the chip to overheat and throttle. Upgraded to a Corsair water cooler and have had no heat issues since.

Replaced my previous build AIO. Less wires, and much quieter. performance is just as good and it was half the price. Added bonus, no RGB!

Whoopsie. I was idling at around 38C until I realized I had the fans blowing the wrong way. Now idling at 28C on my hottest core. Intel 12600k CPU (Yes, it comes with the LGA1700 mounting hardware, and the best instructions in the biz). Comes with a small optional cable that is supposed to somehow make the fans run quieter (but possibly lower performance) that I havent tried yet, but its running pretty quiet without it.

Does the job runs quiet and keeps CPU cool ! Looks nice too
