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

Super easy to set up compared to liquid cooling. Ran an i7 13700k at 100% for 5 minutes. Warm air was blowing out but it sure as heck works and isnt super loud! Im using it in an NR200 with mesh panels, fits perfectly. I bent the fins a little bit by accident but easily fixable with a credit card.

Beautiful cooler, added the white pads and its perfect. I have it paired with the Asus Dark Hero and a 5950x with pbo and my temps are slightly better than the nh-d15 but with fans that are easier to attach and a less invasive heatsink. I can see my royals perfectly : )

Part of me wanted to go to a custom water loop this time around, and I might in time, but this air cooler is less maintenance and with this one performs better. Doesnt have the wow factor, but at least with the black version, it isnt outright fugly like their brown fans. Ive always put up with them as they are the best fans in the business.

This Noctua cooler is amazing. Many people already know and trust the brand, so it made it easy for me to justify purchasing it. This is the best cooler I’ve found so far and I doubt I will be ditching anytime soon.

Looks absolutely gargantuan on tiny ITX motherboard. Depending on IO panel configuration, you may need to slide fan up a click or two. Despite performance, noise levels are low and pleasant.

Tenho o ryzen 7 5800x ( idle 30/35 graus em jogo 60/65 graus ) e trabalha igual a um watercooler de 240mm.

Dropped my i7-12700 CPU temps by 10C at idle and 15-20 C under heavy benchmark loading. Great quality and fans run quietly.

Quiet, effective and not a bad price.

Easy to install used it with an asus Z590E mother board and works well and looks great with this mother board. Also running an intel i7 11700K processor and Corsair Vengeance RGB Memory. This fan clears my memory and really like the black color Very quiet at lower speed gets a little loud when running fans at high speed but is doing a great job of keeping things cool. The cooler is a little pricey but very happy and will be installing in second computer build. Using an old Corsair 200T case and clears the side window just fine. Radiator is much thicker than the Noctua NH-U12S and Noctua NH-U12S sat right up to my ram so returned it. Would highly recommend the Noctua NH-U12A Looks nice with my RGB fans and clears ram with heat spreaders and clears side window by about an 1.5 inches!!! Hope this helps.

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.
