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

Performance aside, I paid full price for a new cooler and was sent one that had been damaged. The heatsink had several bent fins and all of the bags of screws had been opened and were strewn all over the package.

Using on a 12600K CPU. Dead simple installation and simple fan mounting allowing for easy fan repositioning. Fantastic thermals at around 28c idle and 60c load after undervolting by 140mv. Highly recommended!

Title says it all. This tiny thing beats both the 360mm Kraken and H150i that I had on my 13900K AND it simplifies my build by requiring no software.

Have had no problem cooling my Ryzen 7700X CPU with light overclocking enabled. Experimented with ASUS AI overclocking and manual overclocking and it had no issues cooling the CPU with either enabled. Havent seen temps go above 80 degrees no matter what gaming or real world tasks I have done. I really like the fact that it is a realtively smaller dual tower air cooler so doesnt look too massive compared to a NH-D15, but still has excellent performance.

The chromax u12a loves up to the typical noctua quality you’d expect, which is great. Noctua has the easiest mounting system I’ve used in 20 years of building pcs. I also look it looks great but I also think the ram and brown looks good too.

I liked this cooler even if it was always going to be temporary. Just make sure it fits your case because mine was a few millimeters short so I couldnt close up my case and had to return it. Seemed to perform well cooling a 12900K though so in all its a good one.

Tenia una corsair de 1 ventilador, ya que en la caja no entraba más. Y le daban unas ventoleras a la refrigeración que no era medio normal. A parte con juegos que requerían de procesador pues tiraba a todo lo que daba y un ruido a turbina que parecía que estaba viendo la peli de Top Gun.

I ordered this cooler based upon PCPartsPickers compatibility recomendation for the Asus ROG STRIX Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 motherboard. But when I checked on the Noctua Compatibility Centre site, I discovered that it is NOT compatible with this motherboard. So, I returned it and ordered a Noctua cooler that IS compatible: the Noctua NH-D12L.

Title says it all. Cools my 5800x better than my 280mm AIO from NZXT. Absolutely silent as well. 10/10

Suite à une déception avec un watercooling AIO qui a fonctionné que quelques mois avant de rendre l’âme, j’ai voulu une solution plus pérenne et le système à caloducs est la solution, mais faut aussi un refroidissement au moins équivalent. Et bien le ventirad NH u12a donne les 2 solutions et s’offre même le luxe de mieux refroidir mon proc i7 11700k que l’aio (240mm msi).
