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

Me encantó este Cooler, es realmente muy bueno. Lo usé para un Intel Core i7-12700K y los resultados fueron excelentes, aún con este procesador que calienta bastante. En Idle se mantiene entre los 25° y 30° y en carga no me sube de 75°. El ventilador va variando su velocidad de acuerdo a lo que requiere, así que al realizar tareas sencillas, el ruido es mínimo, casi no se oye. Fue una excelente compra, si alguien lo quiere usar con este procesador o similar, puede comprarlo con toda confianza. 100% recomendado.

Very quiet fans, mounting system is great. Really nice to have LGA 1700 supported out of the box. However cooler is extremely large and was pretty much touching my ram.

Instructions were clear and concise, all black is great, mounting is good(would like a preset torque driver included in the kit for the price), keeps a 11700K(stock) 10C under TJmax when running prime95s hardest test, cold plate is machined to an even and flat surface. All in all this is a good upgrade from Coolermaster 212 series.

Fans are a bit obnoxious to get back on during the install but aside from that i cannot find anything else to nitpick

Replaced my fractal s+ 360mm aio with this on my ryzen 9 5900x, this cooler beat it by around 10c while being almost silent as well. I can’t recommend this cooler enough.

Likes: easy to install, very quiet, looks great in black with the optional chromax colored cover. GREAT cooling for my i7 9700k. Seeing a 5-7 degree drop from previous Deepcool cooler. Much smaller than the DH-15!

I have this cooling a 5900x. Idle at 30-40 degrees, max of 70 under load which i find pretty impressive.

It replaced a Noctua nh-9Us. A necessary move upgrading from a R3 1200 to a R7 5800x. Temps went from almost immediate thermal throttle at normal gaming use and upper 70s regular web browsing (I have it set to throttle at 80c even though they supposedly run well into the 90s by design) to it hangs out in the 50s-60s. It will slowly creep up to 83 under a stress test when I temporarily turned the throttle to stock (which compared to reviews of the 5800x Ive seen, is really good, lots of low-mid 90s from what Ive read), but it has never passed 70 otherwise. Nothing against the nh-9Us, that kept my 1200 under 45c under any circumstance, its just the 5800x runs real hot and regularly clocks itself at 4.50+ instead of the 3.8GHz its rated for. Some sort of self overclock? Either way, this helps keep it at bay. Like I said, most situations keep to the 60s now instead of 80 or higher with the nh-9Us. And that cooler was 15c cooler than the stealth that came with my 1200. Never tested the stealth on the 5800x because it was already too much for the 92mm. Only reason for 4 stars is because its louder than my (admittedly single fan) 92mm same brand predecessor and cost over 100 bucks. Forgot to add that the system temps for both is ~30-35c, however probably due to more heat dissipation by new cooler, it now occasionally hits 40c. Current case is ThermalTake T-100 minitower iTX. Vertical config with heat exiting top of cooler to top of case Noctua 140mm fan for exhaust case fan.

i9 9900k idled at 100c with a kraken m22 AIO.

Quiet, cool(about 65C°) overall and 75° hot core... with all cores at 4,500mhz. My old cooler was also a dual fan, but only 5 heat pipes and had to ramp up to 2100rpm(max) to keep same level of cooling as this NH-U12A, at about 1700rpm, and the fans are also a quieter design, with 7 heat pipes. Glad I bought it to make the computer quieter during gaming, without headset.
