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

Amazing cooling. Even on Intels hottest processor the12900KS it does a good job under full CPU load. Noise level is silent except when CPU cores are all going under heavy load. Then you can hear it faintly. I have never had one lock up on the system while running this heat sync.

Great cooler for anyone looking for something simple and easy to install. Keeps my 5900x idling at 35-45c reaching a max of 75c under 100% usage. The Noctua fans that this cooler comes with are so quiet at 100% power that I can only notice they make sound if I turn my corsair case fans off to listen, and thats without the included noise reducing cables. Highly recommend this over an AIO. I’m giving it 4 stars because of the lack of color options for the fans, and that the $20 chromax magnetic cover for the heat sink is a separate purchase when I feel it should be included in the already expensive price.

I use this cooler with an i7 12700K and it keeps it cool and quiet even when under 100% load my CPU stays at around 60C

Its used with Graphite Thermal Pad. It works better than Corsair i150 AIO that i used almost 5 years. In general, it reduce about 15 Celscius.

Plus de 2 ans dattente, le voilà enfin (et 11 mois pour dénicher une 3080Ti Founder Edition sur le site Nvidia redirigé vers le vendeur officiel LDLC, ça devient compliqué de sapprovisionner ) !

Used on a i9 12900k Build NZXT 510 Case . I was worried this would not cool the processor and i would need liquid cooling or the D15 . But this cooler is a beast . Silent as hell . Also in Black .

The Stock Cooler on an Intel i7-8700 was not cutting it when pushed hard. When importing point cloud scan data the CPU would constantly hit thermal limits at 99-100c hindering performance and putting the hardware in a dangerous temp zone. The U12A keeps an average temp of 62c with individual core peeks at 78c during extended 100% cpu utilization. CPU performance now remains consistent and no more loud fan noise ramping up and down. Good investment to prolong the useful life of my existing hardware. The Cooler, Fans & contents of installation kit are exceptional and well worth the money.

Puede ser un poco agobiante de instalar si nunca has tenido productos Noctua como es mi caso, ya que en la guía de instalación se ven muchos pasos, pero realmente es muy sencillo, Noctua piensa en todo y eso se agradece mucho, silencioso, eficiente y bonito.

Overall, I am happy with the result. I have always wanted black Noutua fans for years and finally they drop this. Compare to my Noctua NH-D15, Noctua NH-U12A is still comes with similar cooling performance as my Ryzen 7 5800x temp idles at around 27 to 30C and hits 40C for heavy work load. This is very similar to my Noctua NH-D15 but in a smaller formfactor.

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.
