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

There is an almost unbearable harmonic beating tone produced at almost every fan RPM level regardless of whether the LNAs are used. Certain PWM percentages are worse than others where the oscillation of the tone becomes intense and fast, but its never anything that can be escaped from entirely. Really disappointed as I quite like the fans themselves, I think Noctua needs to resolve how its fans negatively interact with heatsinks.

Beware! I was obliged to install only the outake fan because of the very big heatsink on dominator DDR5 platinum. I’m still more than happy with the performance so far, at max load on i7 12700k (4.8ghz) still dont goes over 75c on a very hot day, with a little tweak to the temp/fan speed obviously. Noted that i have 2 outake fan top and rear right next to the heatsink so i think it compensate for the missing pushing fan. My case is a NZXT h510 flow.

Not sure what else you could want from an air cooler. This checks off all the boxes. Keeps temps low and stays quiet. I love the all black look as its very sleek in my all white case. Plenty of ram clearance as well with this bad boy. Worth the investment since two of the 12x25 fans from noctua will cost you 65+ USD alone. Not sure it even needs the exhaust side fan but Im keeping it because 5800X3D runs hot.

Using this with a 12700k & It idles around 30c and is around 50c-60c while gaming, max temp Ive seen was 85c under 100% load but thats expected with the 12700k and air cooling. (ambient room temp is around 25c)

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

Refroidissement excellent, design parfait, je recommande.

I had doubts about the cooling for the core i7 12700, board msi carbon z690, ddr5 5600 32gb, this was the best option for air, it has no sound, it does not feel, when taking the equipment to workloads the maximum temperature was 65 degrees, very cool, it comes with all the anchors according to your configuration option, I see that I will have it for many years, the design, technology and quality have been there since I received the box.

This out preforms my NZXT Kraken. Really quiet and no water inside my computer.

Noctua a réussi à descendre de 15-20 degré les température du processeur. Je vous le recommande. Vérifier que votre case à moins 160mm de profondeur pour la compatibilité.
