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

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.

This replaced an Enermax AIO for my 12900K that failed 6 months after purchase. CPU temps were reaching 100C at idle and was throttling back to prevent damage. Ordered this and it came overnight. I installed it immediately, fired it up, and idle CPU temps are now 10c above ambient. Full usage during gaming is running mid 50c. This thing is every bit as good as the professional reviews say it is. I should have stuck with my instincts when I first built my new rig but wanted to try something different with an AIO. Hard to beat Noctua.

Had to replace my 5 year old AIO soni got this, it should last me for at least 5 years and one day or more.

Creo que el mejor disipador por aire, comparandolo con mi anterior refrigeración liquida nxzt 240 kraken, he logrado bajar la sonoridad, la eficiencia y la temperatura en mi ryzen 7 7700x, lo mejor es que estos sistemas por aire el único mantenimiento que llevan es limpiarlos con aire comprimido y cambiar pasta térmica cada mucho mucho tiempo. He logrado tener temperaturas CPU de 65 °C, call of duty WARZONE, cinebench 23 73°C, con mejor puntuación que de STOCK, todo esto gracias a undervolting (frecuencia 5300mhz ).

Non avevo mai provato su una build, questo tipo di raffreddamento. Pienamente soddisfatto. Raffredda egregiamente un i7 12900k non overcloccato, uguale, se non meglio di un AIO.

Mounted on 13700k and it comes with the kit I need for LGA1700. Idle at 32°C. Heavy work load at 72°C. Cool down very quickly. Do your research and make sure it fits your motherboard, ram and case. Read the instructions and make sure the orientation is correct. Fan direction is little unclear, I just watched other YouTubers build to get it right.

Muy muy bueno

Jenlève une étoile pour linstallation qui ma obligée à devoir demander de laide, et donc retarder le montage de mon PC dune semaine. Le ventirad est incroyable et très efficace, certes, mais pour linstaller!!! Arrive un moment où deux grosses vis donnent limpression de stagner, de tourner dans le vide. Impossible à visser, et donc le ventirad ne tient pas une fois la carte mère mise debout!

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)

I installed this cooler in a new computer build in April of 2022. I made sure to buy the black one since I didnt want the brown one in my completely no-windows case. Because reasons. Mostly, I didnt want to see brown fans every time I opened the case to clean it. Based on other reviews, Im not the only person who feels this way. I digress. The install was straightforward (although there are quite a number of steps compared to the old snap on coolers). Once inside the case, the cooler is whisper quiet and takes good care of my i7-12700K processor, even under load. A few things to note:
