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

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.

This thing can handle my 3950x,5950x,and12900K no problem.

It fits perfectly, designed to get the most you possibly can with a standard size build. Runs my 10700k between 50c and 69c with a 34percent overclock from stock settings.

Tutto perfetto dal box alle spiegazioni

The Noctua NH-U12A is surprisingly quiet, it is exactly as the reviews described. I did some basic testing and it alone - without any other case fans - managed to keep the temp of a Core i7 12700K steady at 35. I still have to do additional testing and will update this review when that is done. Although, the price is a bit high I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a none liquid cooling solution.

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.

Excellent all around cooler. Extremely good performance for such a small size. I love that it does not block the RAM, PCI slots nor the GPU; nor does it interfere with the case side panel.

Super leise und die wärne wird super abgeleitet

I upgraded from a ryzen5 1600 with wraith cooler to a ryzen 7 5800x. The wraith can be used but doesn’t keep temps as low as other options. Install was very easy especially if i have AMD as it required being able to use the existing mounting equipment. For $100 its bulky and quiet, no LEDS but does the job. Could spend $130-$200 on liquid cooled options. Worked for me and my budget and needs.

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)
