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

It is a quality product but has not been tested yet. I bought it for 13600k I hope its good. Thanks to Noctua

I picked this up to replace a msi coreliquid aio that failed on me after only 3 weeks. With that being the 2nd aio to bite it for me I decided to give air cooling a try and read a ton of good reviews about the u12a, and boy did it live up to them.

Recommend doing the install out of the case if youre building a new PC. Check noctuas page for motherboards that work with this cooler. Some of the heatsinks on Asus and other makers are too big and will not mechanically work with this air cooler. This cpu fan is new and out of the box works with lga 1700 ie alder lake without a special adapter which is really convenient. Some people with other fans have been surprised and had to wait for a free adapter kit or pay for one from noctua. Pcpartpicker is not yet up to date with compatibility issues so keep that in mind.

Cools my 13700K great even in an SFF case. Its a little pricy, but if you dont have the space for a larger cooler this is the cooler you want.

When it comes to air cooling a CPU there is no better choice than noctua. The product arrived in perfect condition and is very visually appealing. Mounting was easy and the product quality was typical noctua - excellent. Im running a ryzen 7 5800x and cinebench r23 multi core peaked at 69 degrees celsius in a Lian li Lancool 2 mesh case. Also - I had the nh-d15s before and found that mounting the nh-u12a and installing the fans were much easier.

This is a beast fan!!!! Make sure you measure your case from cpu mount to panel. I run an aorus and had plenty of room for installing the ram. Itsuper quiet even under load and reduced my temp by 20 degrees. Buy it if you have the room.

It is ridiculously quiet, I do not hear the fans at all. It was larger than I thought it would be, that is my fault for not reading the measurements. Make sure you pay attention to where your memory slots are on your board. This now covers two slots on mine but that is OK as I went with x32 GB for 64 GB which is more than enough for what this computer build is meant to do.

When youre looking for a CPU cooler that peforms as well as, if not better than an AIO water cooling solution when properly installed then look no further. Noctua is the king of the road when it comes to fans and PC cooling devices in my humble opinion and this cooler is no exception. Installation was easy since this was a brand new build. The kit came with everything you need for almost any modern CPU socket/form factor. Noctua thermal compound and a batch of other accessories make for a thoughtful touch and its much appreciated. The system barely got warm running a series of full system stress testing during my burn-in cycle. Overall Ive always been and still continue to be a fan of Noctua products. Its nice to see a company take pride in its work..

Keeps my 5800x3d nice and cool at all times. RAM clearance is another plus over its bigger brother.

Veramente silenziosa, questo dissipatore quasi non si sente, il sistema di montaggio è semplice ,ma soprattutto il prodotto è correlato da un semplice ma efficace foglio di istruzioni che ti spiega bene cosa fare in base alle varie possibilità di installazione.
