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

From what I’ve heard the 12 gen cpus run really hot and this has no problem cooling my cpu 33-40c idle and while gaming 50-67c so if you’re thinking about buying this I would.

Good quality, all black cooler, works fine for LGA1700. Keeps i9-12900K cool enough at stock setting, should be good enough for moderate overclocking. Easy to install, premium all black Noctua fans, just wish Noctua would include NT-H2 thermal compound instead of NT-H1. Strongly recommended if you want non-RGB, high performance air cooling for your CPU.

Love this cooler. Switched back to air cooling from aio’s and decided to go with this heat sink since I’ve fallen in love with noctua’s fans. This product did not disappoint at all. Easy install, quiet, quality built and packaged, very impressed with temps.

not as good as a aio liquid cooler but definitely gets the job done and to me it looks 10x better that a aio. but thats my opinion. but it definitely keeps my temps in check.

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 : )

Du fait des performances du cooler il est très aisé de faire la courbe pwm des ventilo souhaitée (performance - silence). Un conseil, n’utilisez pas les adaptateurs LNA vous pouvez simplement sélectionner la vitesse des ventilos dans le menu carte mère par exemple

I ended up buying the Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black as a replacement for my Cyberpower Pc AIO pump/radiator and i couldnt be happier. This heat sink keeps my cpu cooler than the aio pump(even when it ran well) did. Also for reference my cpu is an intel i7 9700k. The install was a little nerve wracking since i had never done a cpu cooler swap before, but the instructions were fairly clear and easy to understand. install took a little over 45 minutes. If youre looking to replace your own cooler i highly recommend this heat-sink(if compatible)

Works great for my gaming computer and its quiet.

Like all Noctua products, the quality is exceptional. It is a touch difficult sometimes to get the screws going when mounting the cooler, but thats about it. Keeps my Ryzer 7 at good temps. I did try out their smaller 92mm single fan cpu cooler version for a bit. Compared to that I got 5 degrees lower on idle, and around 9 degrees cooler on load on Cinebench. That is going from a single 92mm cooler to dual 120mm, so the improvement makes sense. That just goes to show how good their smaller coolers are! If you dont plan to overclock your cpu I would go with their smaller cooler as the difference isnt massive. This particular all black version is on the pricier side (thats the 1 star drop). Nonetheless, Noctua is my go-to for anything cooling. I thought hard about buying an AiO from another brand but didnt want to have to worry about pump issues, leaking, or fitting the radiator in my case. Im happy I went with Noctua.
